Cabling and Power Up

MP Core I/O Connections

Setting Up the Customer Engineer Tool (PC)

The Customer Engineer (CE) Tool is usually a laptop. It allows communication with the MP in the HP 9000

rp7420 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 MP

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

•na (Receive)

•na (Transmit)
