From a techie point of view

On our Boeing Fleet

We recommend starting the #2 first especially if using a ground (air) cart. This is because it allows for additional safety in the event of Starter Cutout failing to operate as advertised. There will be at least one isolation valve in the pneumatic system which can be closed to shut-off the air supply to the starter.

The ground cart feeds into the left air supply system.
