Setting Up and Powering On the Integrity
Server System
For a console terminal, you need a laptop, PC, or similar
device that has terminal emulation software. OpenVMS does not support
using a VGA graphics display as a console device. To connect your
console terminal to your Integrity server, you will need a standard
PC-to-PC file transfer cable (also known as a 9-pin null modem serial
cable, it has 9-pin female connectors at each end). The serial port
on the server system is set to 9600 baud, 8-bit, no parity, and
one stop bit. Set up your terminal emulation software accordingly, specifying
VT100 mode. The settings can vary for other ports and access methods.
To set up the console terminal and power up the system, follow
these steps:
Unpack your
server system and set it up, as instructed by the hardware documentation
provided.
Connect the power cord from
the server to a power source, following the directions provided
in the hardware documentation.
Connect one end of the PC-to-PC
file transfer cable to the COM1 connector on your console terminal device.
If your server includes MP, connect the other end to the MP console
connector on the rear panel; otherwise, connect to the console serial
port (on rx4640 systems, you connect to the local serial port, since MP
is built into those systems). Some systems, such as the rx1600 and rx2600, provide
a three-connector cable (also referred to as an M-cable) to use
for this connection. In this case, connect your PC-to-PC file transfer
cable to the port marked "Console" on the three-connector cable,
and connect the three-connector cable to the MP 25-pin serial port
on the rear panel, if available; otherwise, connect it to the appropriate
serial port on the rear panel. If MP is available, HP recommends
using MP instead of BMC (the latter is used by default if MP is not
present or used).
For MP connections that require the three-connector
cable, make sure you connect your PC-to-PC cable to the connection
port marked "Console" on the three-connector cable.
All three connection ports on that cable are DB9 9-pin connectors,
but only the port marked "Console" will work.
The other two connection ports are for remote (modem) and UPS connections
only.
Power up the server system
by pressing the power button on the front panel. Press ONCE only:
the green LED indicating the system is powered does not light immediately.
If after 30 seconds the LED is still not on, then press the power
button again. If the system has a separate MP card, the system
LED blinks; otherwise, the power LED turns on and the system LED
blinks on and off (both LEDs are adjacent to the power button).
Your screen might remain blank for up to a minute before you see
activity.
If MP is included with your system, and you want to take advantage
of this utility, continue to the next section. If MP is not included,
or you do not want to take advantage of this utility, skip to
Using the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI).
