• DB25 connector, by way of the M cable This RS-232 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 three 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 still active if the front panel power switch is off and AC is present. • Internal LVD Ultra 160 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. • 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 right-most slot when viewing the system from the back. Management Processor Access NOTE: To access the MP for the initial installation, you must first connect the M cable 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. Setting Up the Customer Engineer Tool (PC) The Customer Engineer (CE) Tool is usually a laptop. It enables communication with the MP in the HP 9000 rp7420 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 LAN IP addresses • Shutting off cell board power Communication with the MP is established 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/none (parity) • 9600 baud • na (Receive) • na (Transmit) If the CE Tool is a laptop using Reflection, ensure communications settings are in place by following these steps: 1. From the Reflection Main screen, pull down the Connection menu and select Connection Setup. 56 Cabling and Powering the Server

To access the MP for the initial installation, you must first connect the M cable 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.
Setting Up the Customer Engineer Tool (PC)
The Customer Engineer (CE) Tool is usually a laptop. It enables communication with the MP in
the HP 9000 rp7420 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 LAN IP addresses
•
Shutting off cell board power
Communication with the MP is established 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/none (parity)
•
9600 baud
•
na (Receive)
•
na (Transmit)
If the CE Tool is a laptop using Reflection, ensure communications settings are in place by
following these steps:
1.
From the Reflection Main screen, pull down the
Connection
menu and select
