Figure 3-24. Rear Panel Ports

Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse

1.Place the monitor, keyboard, and mouse near the HP Server and connect these devices to the Server using the connections provided on the rear of the chassis. See Figure 3-24.

The connectors are color-coded for easy matching.

NOTE

If you have a console switch box, refer to the switch box’s user guide for instructions on

 

connecting the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

 

 

CAUTION The keyboard and mouse ports are both PS/2 ports, but are not interchangeable. If you plug the keyboard into the mouse port, or the mouse into the keyboard port, you will get an error message and the system will not finish the boot process.

2.If a LAN cable is provided, you may connect it now, or wait until you have verified the Server’s operation.

CAUTION To prevent possible damage to the HP Server’s power supply, set the input voltage selector to the correct input voltage.

3. Check the input voltage selector to ensure that you have the correct input voltage selected.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

If you do not use a UPS with the Server, you may experience an arching effect when you plug in the power cord to the AC power source. This is normal, due to the high inrush current of the power supply.

1.Place the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) near the HP Server to connect the two devices.

2.Connect the serial cable and power cord provided between the UPS and the HP Server.

Refer to the user guide included with the UPS for additional information.

3. If you have connected the serial cable and power cord between the two devices, turn on the UPS.
