HP 9000 rp5400 Servers - Manual (Page 51)

1. The GSP is located in slot 2 of the rp54xx' rear card cage. Connect the 25-pin end of:
•
the A5191-63001 W-cable to the 25-pin connector on the revision A GSP card
(A5191-60012) OR
• the A6144-63001 M-cable to the 25-pin connector on the revision B GSP card
(A6144-60012)
2. Connect the 9-pin "Console" connector of either the W or M-cable to the 9-pin D-type
connector of a 24542G RS-232 cable.
3. Connect the 25-pin end of the 24542G serial cable to the serial/RS232 port on the ASCII
console. (RS232 Serial Port labeling may vary depending on manufacturer.)
4. Connect the System Console to input AC power.
5. Turn the System Console AC power switch to ON.
After the physical connections have been made, configure the ASCII console. When using the
C1099A Terminal Console, the default settings are recommended. Refer to the C1099A Terminal
Console operating manual for instructions on how to obtain default settings.
The HP 700 series console may also be used as an ASCII console. Both the C1099A Terminal
Console and S700 consoles support HPterm and VT100 emulations. The emulation of the GSP
and ASCII console need not match for communications between them to occur. However, to
ensure proper communications, HP recommends the ASCII console and GSP use the same
emulation. HP also recommends that other configurable parameters on the GSP match those of
the ASCII console. Baud rate, start/stop bits, etc... The default emulation of the GSP is VT100.
Below is a procedure to configure a HP 700 serial console for VT100 emulation.
HP 700 Series System Console Configuration
The following describes the steps required to configure the HP 700 series terminal for VT-100
mode for operation with an rp54xx server.
Although any terminal capable of operating in VT-100 mode can be used, the HP700 series
terminal is used here as an example because it is fairly common and it's configuration is typical
of many terminals currently in use.
HP700 VT-100 Mode Configuration
The following procedure outlines the steps to configure the HP700 series terminal for VT100
operation.
