The ordered series of steps a computer or device follows when powering on to initialize hardware and load the operating system.
起動シーケンス中にエラーが発生しました。
An error occurred during the boot sequence.
シーケンスを最適化すると起動時間が短縮されます。
Optimizing the sequence shortens the boot time.
Commonly used in computer science, embedded systems, and device firmware development.
While '起動シーケンス' refers specifically to the ordered steps (like POST in BIOS), '起動プロセス' (kidō purosesu) may refer to the broader startup process including software initialization.
Always use '起動シーケンス' when referring to the hardware/software initialization steps in a technical context. Avoid using it for general 'starting up' of applications.
Combines 起動 (kidō, 'startup/boot') from Japanese and シーケンス (shīkensu, 'sequence') from English 'sequence'. The term reflects the ordered nature of the process, borrowed from English technical terminology.
The term is widely used in Japanese technical contexts and is a direct calque from English. It is not typically used in casual conversation but is standard in IT and engineering fields.
