Hi.  We finally managed to get a 4D (a 4server8) to use as an
rendering engine (modelling is done on a 3130).  My problem is
that we didn't get a console with the machine (don't ask - political
reasons) and I'm not sure how to boot the machine with an ANSI
terminal.  I noticed that the 16 binders of docs that we received
don't include anything like the "IRIS 3000 Series Manuals" binder
that came with the 3130, describing dip switch settings and pinouts
and the like.  Am I missing a manual (or simply not seeing one that 
is already here)?

Anyway, the short range issue is to figure out how to boot this
thing without a console, and any help would be greatly appreciated. 
(Though I would like to know if there's a hardware manual.) 

Thanks.
