Cable Connections External Core I/O Connections External Core I/O Connections Each hp Integrity rx1620 Server external core I/O includes: • Two external USB ports • Two 10/100/1000 Base -T ethernet LAN ports • One 16550 compatible serial port Additional external I/O ports are available when the optional management processor (MP) card is installed. • VGA video port • DB-25 serial port providing three serial DB-9 connections for console, remote and UPS. NOTE Connect the A6144-63001 cable to the DB-25 connector of the MP. This cable provides DB-9 outputs for console, remote, and UPS. • One 10/100 Base -T ethernet LAN port Optional Management Processor The optional management processor is an independent support system for the server. It provides a way for you to connect to a server and perform administration or monitoring tasks for the server hardware. The management processor controls power, reset, transfer of control (TOC) capabilities, provides console access, displays and records system events, and can display detailed information about the various internal subsystems. The management processor also provides a virtual front panel which can be used to monitor the front panel LEDs from a remote location. The management processor is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if the hp Integrity rx1620 Server main power switch is in the off position. Access to the management processor can be restricted by user accounts. User accounts can be password protected and provide a specific level of access to the server and management processor commands. Multiple users can interact with the management processor. However, all output is mirrored. The management processor main menu permits all users to interact and mirrors output to all users. The console permits one interactive user at a time and mirrors output to all users accessing those features. Accessing the Management Processor You can connect to the management processor using the following methods: • The local serial port using a local terminal. • The remote serial port using external modem (dial-up) access, if remote modem access is configured. • The management processor LAN C port using web console or telnet if login access through the management processor LAN is enabled. Local Terminal Access to the Management Processor Communication with the management processor is established by connecting a terminal to the local I/O serial port. A terminal session may be established using a standalone terminal, or using terminal emulation software such as Reflection 1 running on a PC. 82 Chapter 5

Optional Management Processor
The optional management processor is an independent support system for the server. It provides a way for
you to connect to a server and perform administration or monitoring tasks for the server hardware.
The management processor controls power, reset, transfer of control (TOC) capabilities, provides console
access, displays and records system events, and can display detailed information about the various internal
subsystems. The management processor also provides a virtual front panel which can be used to monitor the
front panel LEDs from a remote location.
The management processor is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if the hp
Integrity rx1620 Server main power switch is in the off position.
Access to the management processor can be restricted by user accounts. User accounts can be password
protected and provide a specific level of access to the server and management processor commands.
Multiple users can interact with the management processor. However, all output is mirrored. The
management processor main menu permits all users to interact and mirrors output to all users. The console
permits one interactive user at a time and mirrors output to all users accessing those features.
Accessing the Management Processor
You can connect to the management processor using the following methods:
•
The
local serial port
using a local terminal.
•
The
remote serial port
using external modem (dial-up) access, if remote modem access is configured.
•
The
management processor LAN C port
using web console or telnet if login access through the
management processor LAN is enabled.
Local Terminal Access to the Management Processor
Communication with the management processor
is established by connecting a terminal to the local I/O serial port.
A terminal session may be established using a standalone terminal, or using terminal emulation software
such as Reflection 1 running on a PC.
