System Console and System Unit Configurations

Either a keyboard with a monitor or a terminal may be used as your workstation's sys-
tem console. When a keyboard is connected to the system unit's HP-HIL connector, it
may always be used for inputting keyboard commands. Depending on the system con-
sole used, one of several types of information is displayed at the first power-up.
C.2.1

Keyboard and Monitor as System Console

At the first power-up after installation, when the workstation uses a keyboard and
monitor as the system console and there are no pre-installed operating systems, one of
the following two situations happens:
• The following Configuration Control Main menu appears in the upper right-
•
hand corner. You may continue configuring your system unit by referring to the
"Using Configuration Control Mode" section later in this appendix..
Configuration Control
Keys Control Class
-----------------------------
1 I/O Configuration
2 Boot Mode Selection
A Abort without changes
-----------------------------
Type [key] RETURN ?
The following message appears:
Remote Console at 9
After beeps, type L RETURN to use the local monitor as console.
If the above message appears, the system unit's internal RS-232 interface or
another accessory DIO-II RS-232 interface has been set to Remote.
If the indicated select code is 9, that means that the system unit's internal
RS-232 interface has been set to Remote. To temporarily use the HP-HIL/Vid-
eo interfaces so that the keyboard and monitor may be used as the system con-
sole, listen for two beeps (about 5 seconds after the message appears). Then
type the following command within 10 seconds of hearing the two beeps:
L < Return >
To permanently change the internal RS-232 to Local, you must enter I/O Con-
figuration Mode and change the interface configuration to Local.
