PLT and CDR should have 'expanded' the the single G2 computer to add a second to for a G2 Redundant set for the upcoming burn.

MCC-H reports good Helium Pressurization before the burn, and Discovery is in a good config for the burn.

In the above image of the orbiters attitude, you can clearly see the orientation used to assist in putting the OMS thrust through the vehicle CG in a single engine OMS burn.

In the top left image the nose of the orbiter is to the left (from the images perspective of the velocity vectory). This looks like classic single engine OMS burn attitude.
