RS-232 Port A
There are two PS/2 type serial interfaces - Port A and Port B. The serial ports
use a high-density connector. An HP A4301A conversion cable is required
to convert to a standard PC-compatible 9-pin male D-sub cable. Figure 2-11
shows the RS-232 serial connector. Also refer to Figure 2-1. Table 2-8
shows the RS-232-C connector pinouts.
The RS-232 Port B operates through different circuitry than Port A. Port B is
configured to operate when the system is built at the factory. However, if you
ever reload HP-UX, you will need to reconfigure the HP-UX kernel as
described in Chapter 9.
