Connecting a Single Monitor, Multi-Display System, or Text-Only Terminal

WARNING:

NOTE:

Power Cord

If your monitor has an attached power cord, connect the plug to a power source. If your monitor has a separate cord, connect the cord to the monitor, then connect the plug to a power source.

Connecting a Terminal

This section provides step-by-step instructions for connecting a terminal to your Model 743 Board Computer. Refer to Figure 4-3.

1Using the HP A4301A conversion RS-232C Cable, plug its micro-miniature con- nector to one of the RS-232 connectors as follows:

•The recommended port for connecting a terminal is the (A) port.

•Using the (B) port for terminal connection is not recommended.

Use of the (B) port requires that VME Services software be installed in the kernel under HP-UX. The (B) port is not supported during “cold installs” of HP-UX because VME Services is not installed in the “install kernel”.
