Cabling and Power-Up Guardian Service Processor (GSP) Overview • 10/100 Base-T LAN connector for revision B GSP • On-board processor dedicated to GSP functions • Error logging and notification • Display of system alerts and selftest chassis codes • Powered by 15 VDC housekeeping power that is present when the front panel switch is off • Power and configuration monitoring • RS-232, LAN, REMOTE and WEB console access • Administrator and user security • Alphanumeric paging. There are two revisions of rp54xx GSP: revision A (A6696A) and revision B (A6696B). Due to significant hardware differences between the revision A and B GSP, each GSP requires it's own firmware. Revision A GSP firmware can only be installed in a revision A GSP and revision B GSP firmware can only be installed in a revision B GSP. The hardware differences are necessary to incorporate the embedded web access, 10/100 Base-t LAN, and faster GSP processor. The GSP provides four types of console access: RS-232, Remote, LAN and Web. Console information is mirrored to all four console types. Refer to Configure System Consoles for more information. The GSP was originally a core component of the revision A rp5400 (A5576A) and rp5450 (A5191A) servers. Beginning with introduction of the revision B rp5400 (A5576B), rp5450 (A5191B), and rp5470 Servers the GSP became a separate, must order product (A6696A). Revision A GSP The revision A GSP is identified by product number A6696A and part numbers: A5191-60012, A5191-69012, and A5191-69112. The revision A GSP requires a "W" cable to be attached to the DB25 connector. The part number of the "W" is A5191-63001. The "W" cable provides female DB9 connectors for CONSOLE, REMOTE and UPS. The maximum supported baud rate for the CONSOLE and REMOTE connectors is 19200 baud and 1200 baud for the UPS. The paths for the CONSOLE, UPS, and REMOTE are 0/0/4/0.0, 0/0/4/0.1, and 0/0/4/0.2 respectively. For the rev A GSP, the web console is accomplished by shipping one J3591A Secure Web Console with each rp54xx Server. The Secure Web Console can be used in place of an ASCII console to provide console access via a web connection. If you are installing an rp54xx Server that does not have an ASCII console, you may use the Secure Web Console as the console. However, you must first configure the Secure Web Console. Refer to Secure Web Console Installation for more information on SWC Installation/Configuration. Revision B GSP The revision B GSP is identified by product number A6696B and part numbers: A6144-60012, A6144-69012, and A6144-69112. The revision B GSP requires an "M" cable to be attached to the DB25 connector. The part number of the "M" cable is A6144-63001. The "M" cable provides female DB9 connectors for CONSOLE, REMOTE, and UPS. The maximum supported baud rate for the CONSOLE and REMOTE connectors is 38400 baud and 1200 baud for the UPS. The paths for the CONSOLE, UPS, and REMOTE are 0/0/4/1.0, 0/0/4/1.1 and 0/0/4/1.2 respectively. Chapter 3 57

There are two revisions of rp54xx GSP: revision A (A6696A) and revision B (A6696B). Due to significant
hardware differences between the revision A and B GSP, each GSP requires it’s own firmware. Revision A
GSP firmware can only be installed in a revision A GSP and revision B GSP firmware can only be installed in
a revision B GSP. The hardware differences are necessary to incorporate the embedded web access, 10/100
Base-t LAN, and faster GSP processor.
The GSP provides four types of console access: RS-232, Remote, LAN and Web. Console information is
mirrored to all four console types. Refer to
Configure System Consoles
for more information.
The GSP was originally a core component of the revision A rp5400 (A5576A) and rp5450 (A5191A) servers.
Beginning with introduction of the revision B rp5400 (A5576B), rp5450 (A5191B), and rp5470 Servers the
GSP became a separate, must order product (A6696A).
Revision A GSP
The revision A GSP is identified by product number A6696A and part numbers: A5191-60012, A5191-69012,
and A5191-69112.
The revision A GSP requires a “W” cable to be attached to the DB25 connector. The part number of the “W” is
A5191-63001. The “W” cable provides female DB9 connectors for CONSOLE, REMOTE and UPS. The
maximum supported baud rate for the CONSOLE and REMOTE connectors is 19200 baud and 1200 baud for
the UPS.
The paths for the CONSOLE, UPS, and REMOTE are 0/0/4/0.0, 0/0/4/0.1, and 0/0/4/0.2 respectively.
For the rev A GSP, the web console is accomplished by shipping one J3591A Secure Web Console with each
rp54xx Server. The Secure Web Console can be used in place of an ASCII console to provide console access via
a web connection. If you are installing an rp54xx Server that does not have an ASCII console, you may use the
Secure Web Console as the console. However, you must first configure the Secure Web Console. Refer to
Secure Web Console Installation

Revision B GSP
The revision B GSP is identified by product number A6696B and part numbers: A6144-60012, A6144-69012,
and A6144-69112.
The revision B GSP requires an “M” cable to be attached to the DB25 connector. The part number of the “M”
cable is A6144-63001. The “M” cable provides female DB9 connectors for CONSOLE, REMOTE, and UPS.
The maximum supported baud rate for the CONSOLE and REMOTE connectors is 38400 baud and 1200
baud for the UPS.
The paths for the CONSOLE, UPS, and REMOTE are 0/0/4/1.0, 0/0/4/1.1 and 0/0/4/1.2 respectively.
