Installation MP Core I/O Connections MP Core I/O Connections Each hp rp7405/rp7410 can have up to two MP Core I/O board sets installed. This allows for two partitions to be operating, or allows for MP Core I/O redundancy in a single partition configuration. Each MP Core I/O board set consists of two boards: the MP/SCSI board and the LAN/SCSI board. The MP/SCSI board is oriented vertically and accessed from the back of the server. The LAN/SCSI is accessed from the PCI expansion card bay. Only the primary MP core I/O board set (MP/SCSI slot 1 & LAN/SCSI slot 8, Chassis 1) is required for a single partition implementation. The secondary MP/SCSI board is not necessary for full operation, however, without the secondary MP/SCSI board only two internal disks can be accessed. MP/SCSI Connections The MP/SCSI board is required to update firmware, access the console, turn partition power on/off, access all but one 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. 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, UPS, and REMOTE. • 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 160 SCSI channel for connections to internal mass storage. • Internal SE Ultra SCSI channel for connection to 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 • Internal LVD Ultra 160 SCSI channel for connections to internal mass storage. • External LVD Ultra 160 SCSI channel connected to a 68-pin VHDCI connector • 10/100/1000 Base-T LAN RJ45 connector. The primary LAN interface is located on the LAN/SCSI board installed in the rightmost slot when viewing the system from the back. Management Processor Access NOTE In order to access the Management Processor for the initial installation, the M cable must first be connected to the DB25 connector located on the Primary MP/SCSI board. The Primary MP/SCSI board is located in the lower MP/SCSI board slot. 36 Chapter 2
