   3. Set WORK VOL VAC PUMP knob to WORK.
   4. Lift INJECT/SUSTAIN cover and depress button for two (2) seconds.
      • If button rimlight illuminates, proceed.
      • If cockpit master alarm sounds, see TROUBLESHOOTING: REACTOR INJECT/SUSTAIN.
   5. Lift PERISTALSIS cover and depress button.
      • If button does not illuminate or remain depressed, see TROUBLESHOOTING: REACTOR PERISTALSIS.
   6. Observe WORK VOL PLASMA TEMP.
      • Once above 1×10⁷ K, proceed.
      • If the temperature does not reach this threshold within 10 minutes, see TROUBLESHOOTING: REACTOR PLASMA TEMPERATURE.
6. On breaker board, REACTOR POWER:
   1. Check IGNITOR CAP CHRG.
      • If reading is in PRIME region, proceed.
      • If capacitor does not show a level despite IGNITOR CAP breaker in CHRG position, see TROUBLESHOOTING: REACTOR IGNITOR CAPACITOR.
   2. Set IGNITOR CAP to PRM/OUT.
7. On control desk, left section, REACTOR CONTROL:
   1. Lift IGNITE cover and depress button.
   2. Observe WORK VOL PLASMA TEMP.
      • Reading should spike to at least 1×10⁸ K.
      • If no spike is registered, set breaker board IGNITOR CAP to CHRG and return to step 6.
      • If problem persists, see TROUBLESHOOTING: REACTOR IGNITION FAILURE.
8. On breaker board, REACTOR POWER:
   1. Set OUTPUT REGULATOR to MAIN.
   2. Set OUTPUT CONNECT to IN.

This procedure assumes that PROCEDURES: REACTOR START setup has been performed, the REACTOR SELF-TEST button has been depressed for five (5) seconds and the cockpit master alarm has been activated.

1. Acknowledge master alarm.
   • If master alarm is silenced, proceed.
   • If master alarm continues to sound, see TROUBLESHOOTING: ELECTRONICS CONTROL FAILURE.
2. Depress REACTOR SELF-TEST button for five (5) seconds.
   • If master alarm is activated, acknowledge and proceed.
   • If self-test succeeds, return to PROCEDURES: REACTOR START and continue from step 4.
3. On breaker board, REACTOR POWER, set CONTROL UNIT to AUX.
4. On control desk, left section, REACTOR CONTROL, repeat step 2.
   • If master alarm is activated, silence and proceed to step 5.
5. On breaker board, REACTOR POWER, check state of COILS breakers.
   • If both are IN, proceed.
   • If one or both are OUT, see EMERGENCIES: REACTOR GENERAL FAILURE.
6. In storage volume, on REACTOR COMPUTER, check display for alerts:
   • "SELF TEST FAIL" should be visible.
     • If it isn't, check breaker board, REACTOR POWER, CONTROL UNIT is not OFF.
     • If both MAIN and AUX CONTROL UNIT settings do not show alerts after REACTOR SELF TEST has been depressed, see EMERGENCIES: REACTOR GENERAL FAILURE.
   • If "CONFIG!" is printed, reactor configuration is invalid. See PROCEDURES: REACTOR CONFIGURATION.
   • If "HOT!" is printed, reactor coils are too warm to operate. Return to PROCEDURES: REACTOR STARTUP step 2.
   • If "PRES!" is printed, reactor contains significant gas pressure.
     1. Perform PROCEDURES: REACTOR STARTUP step 5.1 to 5.3.
     2. Perform TROUBLESHOOTING: REACTOR SELF-TEST step 2.
     3. If both fail, proceed.
   • If no alert is printed, proceed.
7. On REACTOR COMPUTER:
   1. Initiate factory reset.
   2. Perform PROCEDURES: REACTOR CONFIGURATION.
   3. Perform TROUBLESHOOTING: REACTOR SELF-TEST step 2.
   4. If issues persists, proceed.
8. The reactor has likely experienced a failure. See EMERGENCIES: REACTOR GENERAL FAILURE.
