HP G3 KVM User Manual page 70

Problem
The OSD is distorted or not readable on the local
port video display.
The activity indicator light ("Console switch
components" on page 14) does not display when
the KVM Console Switch is powered on.
The system does not recognize the IP Console
Switch.
The KVM Console Switch system is inaccessible
because the password is lost.
Video displays are all green or red.
The screen saver does not turn on.
When connecting a serial interface adapter to a
server running Linux Red Hat or SLES, the
numeric keypad keys on a PC keyboard do not
map to VT100 emulation under the Linux shell.
Using the numeric keypad with the vi text editor
causes function characters to appear instead of
numbers.
The video resolution is distorted.
Solution
Be sure that the monitor supports the refresh rate to which
target server is set.
•
Be sure that the KVM Console Switch is powered on
and that the power source is valid.
•
Be sure that the cables are connected properly
All IP Console Switches must be upgraded with firmware
version 3.0.0 or later.
Call the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Customer Support
Center ("Accessing Hewlett Packard Enterprise
on page 74).
•
Check the UTP CAT5 cable for breaks or bad crimps.
•
Check the VGA connection for bent pins.
Be sure to click OK to confirm the screen saver selection.
Click X or press the Esc key to cancel the command.
•
Use the "printenv" command to show the TERM
assigned under Linux. It can be matched appropriately
with other termcap entries by editing the profile or
setting the TERM = "ansi". For PC keyboards, ANSI is
the most compatible emulation.
•
Edit you /etc/inittab as:
s0:2345:respawn:sbin/agetty -h ttyS0 115200,
9600 ansi
Where ttyS0 is the serial device name where the serial
interface adapter is connected. Then as a shell prompt,
enter init q, or reboot the system.
