User Service Guide, Third Edition - HP Integrity cx2620 Server

1. Ensure the emulation software device is properly configured. The terminal emulation device
runs software that interfaces with the server. The software emulates console output as it
would appear on an ASCII terminal screen and displays it on a console device screen. To
ensure the emulation software is correctly configured, follow these steps:
a. Verify that the communication settings are configured as follows:
• 8/none (parity)
• 9600 baud
• None (receive)
• None (transmit)
b. Verify that the terminal type is configured appropriately. Supported terminal types are:
• hpterm
• vt100
• vt100+
• vt-utf8
IMPORTANT: Do not mix hpterm and vt100 terminal types at the same time.
There are many different emulation software applications. Consult the help section of the
emulation software application for instructions on how to configure the software options.
2. To determine the required connection components, and the ports used to connect the server
to the console device, use Table 3-5.

b. Connect the DB–9F end of the RS-232 serial console port female-to-female cable to the
M-cable connector labeled Console.
c. Connect the other end of the DB-9F female-to-female cable to the console device.
