Appendix E
You may need assistance setting up a NetServer for HP Console Redirection,
particularly if you are unfamiliar with DOS-prompt computing. In such a case, HP
recommends that you first establish phone contact with your VAR or system
administrator and have him or her walk you through the setup procedure defined in
the remote console setup at the NetServer.
Minimum Server Requirements
In order to use HP Remote Console, your server needs:
•
An installed HP Utility Partition
•
An external modem or direct connection via one of the HP NetServer E
40's two serial ports
•
An HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM Version F.00.20 or later. (To find
the version number, look on the CD-ROM, opposite the HP logo.) The HP
NetServer Navigator CD-ROM includes the Utility Partition setup and
associated files, as well as pcANYWHERE32 communications software.
NOTE
HP recommends that the customer (end user) retain possession
of the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. In case of
emergency, the server can be rebooted directly via the
Navigator CD-ROM. In addition, Support Anywhere software
components are then available to the end user as needed.
Enabling HP Remote Console at the NetServer
Installing HP Remote Console Redirection is a two-part process which includes
setup at the NetServer as well as setup at the workstation designated as the remote
console. In this abridged procedure only setup at the NetServer is detailed. At the
NetServer, the installation of HP Console Redirection includes three steps:
1. BIOS-Level Setup
Enables console redirection at the BIOS level.
2. Modem Installation
Refers to physical installation of the external modem hardware.
3. Modem Initialization
Modem setup for communication with the remote console.
