User Service Guide, Fifth Edition - HP Integrity rx8640 SEU

• One Ultra 320 (320Mb/second) 68-pin SCSI port—A connection for external SCSI devices
(by way of a VHDCI connector). VHDCI is an industry-standard term that stands for Very
High-Density Cable Interconnect.
• One RJ-45 style 10Base-T/100Base-T/1000Base-T system LAN connector—This LAN uses
standby power and is active when AC is present and the front panel power switch is off.
• One RJ-45 style 10Base-T/100Base-T MP LAN connector—This LAN port is not functional
when the core I/O is installed in the SEU.
• One RS-232 connector which provides local console. This port is non-functional on the SEU.
Internal connections for the core I/O board include the following:
• Two low voltage differential (LVD) internal SCSI buses for internal hard drives and one
single-ended (SE) internal SCSI bus for internal media.
Management Processor Access
NOTE: This procedure for accessing the MP LAN refers to the core I/O card installed in the
server. Direct access to the MP LAN port on either core I/O card in the SEU is not possible.
The following procedure enables direct access to the management processor (MP) LAN port on
the core I/O card installed in the server. You will be able to telnet directly from your laptop to
the MP. Your laptop will need a copy of the Reflection terminal emulation software already
loaded. A crossover cable, or a serial cable will be needed to connect from the laptop LAN port
directly to the MP LAN port on the core I/O card.
Setting Up the CE Tool (PC)
The CE Tool is usually a laptop. It enables communication with the MP in the server. The MP
monitors the activity of 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 MP LAN port on
the core I/O card.
Connecting the CE Tool
To connect the CE Tool to the LAN Port within the server cabinet:
1. Connect one end of the crossover cable to the MP LAN port on the top core I/O card.
2. Connect the other end of the crossover cable to the CE Tool LAN card adapter.
Setting CE Tool Parameters
If the CE Tool is a laptop using Reflection, verify or establish these communications settings
using the following procedure:
1. From the Reflection Main screen, click on the New... button.
2. Enter an arbitrary name in the Connection name: window.
3. Click the Save button to store the name you chose.
4. Click the Connect button.
5. In the Host/Service name: window, enter the IP address for the MP LAN port. The factory
default LAN IP address for the LAN port is 192.168.1.1
6. Click OK to connect to the MP and receive a MP login: prompt.
