I must admit it was a few years back when I last had to do this in anger (in a darkened machine room
with a mag light!).. It was a z800 and you had to perform the "Power On" function from SERVICE
before you could do a POR or Activate - I remember having a complete memory failure for the SERVICE
password.

Ben,
No they haven't. We have taken 2 complete power outages of our machine
room for power updating since our z9BC hit the floor. In both cases, we
simply deactivated the CEC, then to make sure nothing would get damaged
while the electricians were messing around, we hit the breakers on the
wall (for all the equipment, not just the "Z". Once they were done,
flip the wall breakers back on, and perform an activate of the CEC and
everything was happy.

Have things changed since the z890? When we had a power failure (and
our UPS failed), we powered on our z890 by logging onto the SE as
SYSPROG, brought up the CPC Work Area and did an "Activate" to the CPC
Icon. This fully powered on the machine.
