12 PARAGON II USER MANUAL
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 RJ-45 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 the Enter key. In the Password field, type the
default password raritan (all lowercase) and press the Enter key.
