14 PARAGON II USER GUIDE
Installing a Paragon System with a Single Base Unit
If installing a single Paragon Base Unit, keep in mind the maximum numbers of user stations and
server CPUs you can connect:
• 2 user stations and 42 CPUs to a P2-UMT242
• 4 user stations and 42 CPUs to a P2-UMT442
• 8 user stations and 32 CPUs to a P2-UMT832M
• 16 user stations and 64 CPUs to a P2-UMT1664M
Important: All Paragon components, CPUs, and monitors must be turned OFF and
unplugged before installation.
1. Initialize the Base Unit.
A. Run the Base Unit’s included power cord from the IEC 320 inlet on its rear panel to a
working AC outlet.
B. Power ON the Base Unit.
2. Connect a User Station and its attached devices.
A. Connect one end of a CAT5 UTP cable to user port # 1 on the back of the Base Unit.
Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ45 CAT5 port on the back of the User Station.
B. Run the User Station’s included power cord from the IEC 320 inlet on its rear panel to a
working AC outlet.
C. Power ON the User Station. It will power up and establish communication with the Base
Unit.
D. Connect a PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and VGA monitor to the User Station. (If there
will be any Sun CPUs in your system, you can connect a Sun keyboard and mouse later,
after you have configured the system for Sun input. To control Sun CPUs with a PS/2
keyboard, please see Appendix F: Emulating Sun Keys with a PS/2 Keyboard for
additional information.)
E. Plug in and power ON the monitor.
3. Perform initial configuration of the User Station.
A. The Login Menu should be displayed on the User Station’s attached monitor. If the
Scroll Lock LED on the User Station’s attached keyboard is blinking, the Paragon is
ready to accept hotkey commands, which can be used with the OSUI to login, select
servers, or administer the system.

If the monitor instead displays a “.....No connection to Paragon.....” message, the User Station
is not properly connected to the Base Unit. Check for loose connections and make sure you
are using good, intact CAT5 cables.
B. Type admin in the User Name field and press ENTER. In the Password field, type the
default password raritan (all lowercase) and press ENTER.
