Service: Technical Reference for connector pin-out data.) Serial Console Redirection Proceed as follows: 1. Ensure that the VGA display, keyboard, and mouse are connected to the server and ready for use. 2. Boot the server. During boot operations, press F2 to display the BIOS Setup screen. 3. Select the Server menu, and then select Console Redirection. 4. In the Console Redirection menu, select Serial2(RJ45 as the BIOS Redirection Port, and then select Serial2(RJ45 for ACPI Redirection. 5. Set the Baud Rate, Flow Control and Terminal Type as appropriate. (A baud rate of 19.2K is suggested.) 6. Configure the Serial Over LAN (SOL) feature to match the console redirection baud rate. (A baud rate of 19.2K is suggested.) Configure the SOL as follows: a. Boot the system from the HP Server cc3310 Information Diagnostics and Utilities Resource CD. b. After the server has booted, select Load Configuration Wizard. c. When the wizard begins, press Continue. d. Select Server Configuration Wizard and Continue. e. Select Run Wizard and Continue. f. Select Server Configuration Utilities and run System Setup Utility. g. In the System Setup Utility menu, select Platform Event Manager and Configure LAN. h. In the Options menu, select Configure Serial Over LAN, and then set the SOL Baud Rate to match the speed of the serial port, as specified in step 5, above. NIC1/2 Ports The server is provided with two NIC ports. Additional ports can be added by installing optional PCI NIC cards. The system will support up to 4 additional NIC cards. If installing additional NIC controllers, begin by installing cards in the full-height PCI expansion card cage. Up to three NIC cards can be installed in the full-height card cage. If a fourth NIC card is to be installed, it should be installed in slot 1 of the low-profile PCI expansion riser. (This requires that no RAID card will be installed). When configuring the system with internal network ports NIC1 and NIC2, and no other network port hardware, RHEL AS 2.1 and RHEL 3.0 will assign the values "eth0" to the NIC2 port and "eth1" to the NIC1 port. If additional network hardware has been installed, RHEL AS 2.1 or RHEL 3.0 assigns the "eth_" numerical value to the add-on ports first, and then assigns values to the internal ports. (Example: If a dual - port network card is added to the system, the added ports will be assigned values of "eth0" and "eth1". The NIC2 port would then be assigned the value "eth2" and the NIC1 port would be assigned the value of "eth3". Linux will enumerate newly installed LAN ports before the built-in NIC ports on the server rear panel. This means that the built-in NIC ports will always be the last (highest) two "ethx" devices. Only the NIC 1 port can be used with ISM. Intel RAID Controller SRCZCR Tips 1. The internal RAID controller (which is provided with your server) is not supported by the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Advanced Server 2.1 operating system. However, RHEL AS 2.1 does support software RAID. 2. HP supports the operation of the Intel external RAID controller. RHEL AS 2.1, Kernel 2.4.9-e.24 and later provide the required drivers for this external RAID controller. Chapter 9 109

NIC1/2 Ports
The server is provided with two NIC ports. Additional ports can be added by installing optional PCI NIC
cards. The system will support up to 4 additional NIC cards.
If installing additional NIC controllers, begin by installing cards in the full-height PCI expansion card cage.
Up to three NIC cards can be installed in the full-height card cage. If a fourth NIC card is to be installed, it
should be installed in slot 1 of the low-profile PCI expansion riser. (This requires that no RAID card will be
installed).
When configuring the system with internal network ports NIC1 and NIC2, and no other network port
hardware, RHEL AS 2.1 and RHEL 3.0 will assign the values “eth0” to the NIC2 port and “eth1” to the NIC1
port. If additional network hardware has been installed, RHEL AS
2.1
or RHEL 3.0 assigns the “eth_”
numerical value to the add-on ports first, and then assigns values to the internal ports. (Example: If a dual –
port network card is added to the system, the added ports will be assigned values of “eth0” and “eth1”. The
NIC2 port would then be assigned the value “eth2” and the NIC1 port would be assigned the value of “eth3”.
Linux will enumerate newly installed LAN ports before the built-in NIC ports on the server rear panel. This
means that the built-in NIC ports will always be the last (highest) two “ethx” devices.
Only the NIC 1 port can be used with ISM.
