Remote console port—A remote serial port for connection to a modem. The port is located in the middle of
the three RS-232 connectors.
Local console port—A local serial port for connection to a terminal. The port is located at the bottom of the
core I/O card when the card is installed in the server chassis.
Internal connections for the core I/O board include the following:
• Three single ended (SE) internal SCSI buses for internal devices. These buses are routed to the system
board where they are cabled to a mass storage backplane.
Setting Up the CE Tool (PC)
The CE Tool is usually a laptop. It allows communication with the management processor (MP) in the 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 down cell board power
Communication with the MP is established by connecting the CE Tool to the local RS-232 port on the 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
• None (Receive)
•None (Transmit)
