3.2.2 Preparing HP Integrity rx2620 and rx4640 Nodes

Perform the following hardware preparation tasks on each HP Integrity rx2620 and rx4640 server

in your HP XC system:

1. For each node in the system, ensure that the power cord is connected but that the CPU is

not turned on.

2. Follow this procedure to connect a personal computer (PC) to the Management Processor:

a. Connect a three-way DB9–25 cable to the MP DB-25 port on the back of the HP Integrity

rx2600 server.

b. Connect the CONSOLE connector to a null modem cable, and connect the null modem

cable to the PC COM1 port.

c. Use a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal, to open a terminal window.

d. Press the Enter key to access the MP. If there is no response, press the MP reset pin on

the back of the MP and try again.

e. Log in to the MP using the default user name and password shown on the screen. The

MP Main Menu is displayed.

create your own unique user name and password. HP recommends setting your own user

name and password for security purposes.

minimum of 8 characters. You must set the same user name and password on every node.
