Cable Connections Core I/O Connections Core I/O Connections Each hp Integrity rx5670 contains one core I/O board set, consisting of an MP/SCSI board and a LAN/SCSI board. The MP/SCSI board is located in PCI slot 1. The LAN/SCSI board is located in PCI slot 3. MP/SCSI Connections The MP/SCSI board is required to access the console, access all but two of the internal peripherals, and utilize other features of the system. Connections to the MP/SCSI board include the following: • DB25 connector via the M cable (part number A6144-63001) This RS232 connector provides connections for a local console, external modem, and a UPS.

The opposite side of the cable terminates in 3 DB9 connectors labeled CONSOLE, REMOTE, and UPS. • 10/100 Base-T LAN RJ45 connector (for LAN access to the management processor) This LAN connection is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if the server main power switch is in the off position. • Internal Ultra SCSI (wide) channel for two internal mass storage devices. • Internal Ultra SCSI (narrow) channel for connection to internal removable media device. LAN/SCSI Connections The LAN/SCSI board provides the basic external I/O connectivity for the system.

It provides a way for you to connect to a server and perform administrative or monitoring tasks for the server hardware. The management processor controls power, reset, and 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 system status and see the state of front panel LEDs. All MP functions are available via the MP LAN, local RS-232 and remote RS-232 ports. The management processor is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if the server main power switch is in the off position. Access to the management processor can be restricted by user accounts. User accounts are password protected and provide a specific level of access to the server and management processor commands. 60 Chapter 4

Core I/O Connections
Each hp Integrity rx5670 contains one core I/O board set, consisting of an MP/SCSI board and a LAN/SCSI
board. The MP/SCSI board is located in PCI slot 1. The LAN/SCSI board is located in PCI slot 3.
MP/SCSI Connections
The MP/SCSI board is required to access the console, access all but two of the internal peripherals, and utilize
other features of the system.
Connections to the MP/SCSI board include the following:
•
DB25 connector via the M cable (part number A6144-63001)
This RS232 connector provides connections for a local console, external modem, and a UPS. The server
end of the M cable terminates in a DB25 connector. The opposite side of the cable terminates in 3 DB9
connectors labeled CONSOLE, REMOTE, and UPS.
•
10/100 Base-T LAN RJ45 connector (for LAN access to the management processor)
This LAN connection is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if the server
main power switch is in the off position.
•
Internal Ultra SCSI (wide) channel for two internal mass storage devices.
•
Internal Ultra SCSI (narrow) channel for connection to internal removable media device.
LAN/SCSI Connections
The LAN/SCSI board provides the basic external I/O connectivity for the system.
Connections to the LAN/SCSI board include the following:
•
Internal Ultra SCSI (wide) channel for two internal mass storage devices
•
External LVD Ultra 160 SCSI channel connected to a 68-pin VHDCI connector
•
10/100/1000 Base-T LAN RJ45 connector (for LAN access to the system)
Management Processor
The
management processor
is an independent support system for the server. It provides a way for you to
connect to a server and perform administrative or monitoring tasks for the server hardware.
The management processor controls power, reset, and 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
system status and see the state of front panel LEDs. All MP functions are available via the MP LAN, local
RS-232 and remote RS-232 ports.
The management processor is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if the
server main power switch is in the off position.
Access to the management processor can be restricted by user accounts. User accounts are password
protected and provide a specific level of access to the server and management processor commands.
