booted up

Got system running

Booted up describes a computer or device that has completed its startup sequence and is ready for use: Once the system booted up, I logged in.

The past tense of boot up, it refers to the process of loading an operating system into memory.

Figuratively, it can describe a person who has gotten going after a slow start: I hadn't booted up yet—needed my coffee first.
