MP/SCSI board is required for a dual-partition configuration, or if you want to enable primary or secondary MP failover for the server. Connections to the MP/SCSI board include the following: • DB9 connector for Local Console • 10/100 Base-T LAN RJ45 connector (for LAN and Web Console access) This LAN uses standby power and is active when AC is present and the front panel power switch is off. • Internal LVD Ultra 320 SCSI channel for connections to internal mass storage • Internal SE Ultra SCSI channel for connection to an internal removable media device. LAN/SCSI Connections The LAN/SCSI board is a PCI form factor card that provides the basic external I/O connectivity for the system. Connections to the LAN/SCSI board include the following: • PCI-X to PCI-X bridge for multi-device compatibility • Two LVD Ultra 320 SCSI channel controllers: one for internal connection to one of the HDD devices, and the other is available for connection to an external device • Two 10/100/1000 Base-T LAN RJ45 connectors The primary LAN interface is located on the LAN/SCSI board installed in the right-most slot when viewing the system from the back. Management Processor Access NOTE: The primary MP/SCSI board is located in the lower MP/SCSI board slot. Setting Up the Customer Engineer Tool (PC) The CE Tool is usually a laptop. It allows communication with the Management Processor (MP) in the server. The MP monitors the activity of either a one-partition or a multiple-partition configuration. During installation, communicating with the MP enables such tasks as: • Verifying that the components are present and installed correctly • Setting the MP LAN configurations • Shutting down cell board power Establish communication with the MP by connecting the CE Tool to the local RS-232 port on the MP core I/O card. Setting CE Tool Parameters After powering on the CE Tool, ensure the communications settings are as follows: • 8 data bits/ no parity • 9600 baud • na (Receive) • na (Transmit) If the CE Tool is a laptop using Reflection 1, ensure communications settings are in place, using the following procedure: 1. From the Reflection 1 Main screen, pull down the Connection menu and select Connection Setup. 2. Select Serial Port. 3. Select Com1. Cabling and Power Up 61
