Cabling and Power-Up
Configure System Consoles
Step 1. The GSP is located in slot 2 of the rp54xx' rear card cage. Connect the 25-pin end of:
• the A5191-63001 W-cable to the 25-pin connector on the revision A GSP card (A5191-60012) OR
• the A6144-63001 M-cable to the 25-pin connector on the revision B GSP card (A6144-60012)
Step 2. Connect the 9-pin "Console" connector of either the W or M-cable to the 9-pin D-type connector of a
24542G RS-232 cable.
Step 3. Connect the 25-pin end of the 24542G serial cable to the serial/RS232 port on the ASCII console.
(RS232 Serial Port labeling may vary depending on manufacturer.)
Step 4. Connect the System Console to input AC power.
Step 5. Turn the System Console AC power switch to ON.
After the physical connections have been made, configure the ASCII console. When using the C1099A
Terminal Console, the default settings are recommended. Refer to the C1099A Terminal Console operating
manual for instructions on how to obtain default settings.
The HP 700 series console may also be used as an ASCII console. Both the C1099A Terminal Console and
S700 consoles support HPterm and VT100 emulations. The emulation of the GSP and ASCII console need not
match for communications between them to occur. However, to ensure proper communications, HP
recommends the ASCII console and GSP use the same emulation. HP also recommends that other
configurable parameters on the GSP match those of the ASCII console. Baud rate, start/stop bits, etc... The
default emulation of the GSP is VT100.
Below is a procedure to configure a HP 700 serial console for VT100 emulation.
