4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each User Station you want to connect to the Base Unit.
5. Connect a P2CIM-PS2 and its server CPU.
a. Connect the cable strands of an appropriate P2CIM-PS2 to the desired ports on a server CPU:
i. P2CIM-PS2 (IBM PS/2 compatible CPUs): Plug the HD15 strand into the CPU’s HD15 VGA
video port. Plug the purple 6-pin mini-DIN keyboard strand into the CPU’s 6-pin mini-DIN
keyboard port. Plug the light green 6-pin mini-DIN strand into the CPU’s 6-pin mini-DIN
mouse port.
ii. P2CIM-SUN (Sun compatible CPUs): Plug the HD15 strand into the CPU’s HD15 VGA
video port. Plug the 8-pin mini-DIN strand into the CPU’s 8-pin mini-DIN keyboard/mouse
port.
iii. P2CIM-USB (USB CPUs of any platform, P2 CIM-SUSB, or P2CIM-USBG2): Plug the
HD15 strand into the CPU’s HD15 VGA video port. Plug the USB Type A strand into one of
the CPU’s USB Type A ports. The P2CIM-USBG2 comes with a toggle switch that allows
users to switch between PC/MAC USB configurations and SUN USB configurations.
iv. P2CIM-PS2DUAL (IBM PS/2 compatible CPUs): Connect keyboard, monitor, and mouse
cables attached to the P2CIM-PS2DUAL to the appropriate 15-pin female video port and 6-
pin mini-DIN mouse and keyboard ports on the computer.
v. AUATC (serial CPUs, routers, etc.): Please see Appendix E: Using AUATC for RS-232
Access for installation instructions.
vi. Z-CIM (local single-user IBM PS/2 compatible CPUs): Please see Chapter 5: Paragon II
and Z-CIM for installation instructions.
b. Plug in and power ON the CPU. If the P2CIM-PS2 is installed and operating properly, the
P2CIM-PS2’s green LED will start blinking: once per second while the P2CIM-PS2 is idle, more
quickly while data is passed in either direction.
c. Connect one end of a CAT5 UTP cable to RJ-45 port #1 on the back of the Base Unit. Connect the
other end of cable to the RJ-45 port on the P2CIM-PS2.
6. Configure the P2CIM-PS2 and the attached CPU.
a. The monitor attached to the User Station will display the Selection Menu; with the CPU you just
connected displayed in green. Use the up- and down-arrow keys to move the highlight to that entry
and press the Enter key. If you can access and operate the CPU normally, the P2CIM-PS2 is
connected successfully. Raritan recommends you give the server a meaningful system name at this
time, as described in the next steps.
