For Windows Server 2003 customers desiring uninterrupted visibility to the Superdome Windows partition, it is recommended
that customers purchase an IP console solution separately to view the partition while the OS is rebooting (in addition to
normal Windows desktop if desired). Windows Terminal Services (standard in Windows Server 2003) should be the
recommended method to provide remote access, but is lacking in displaying VGA output during reboot.
For customers who mandate VGA access during reboot, the IP console switch (262586-B21), used in conjunction with a
VGA/USB card in the partition (A6869A) is the solution. These IP console solutions are available "off the shelf" with resellers
or the ProLiant supply chain.
The features of this switch are as follows:
If the full graphical console access is needed, the following must be ordered with the Integrity Superdome purchase (it will
not be integrated in the factory, but will ship with the system):

connected on the customer LAN. This feature becomes especially important because of the remote power
management capability. The LAN will be implemented on a separate port, distinct from the system LAN, and
provide TCP/IP and Telnet access.
There is one MP per Superdome cabinet, thus there are two (2) for Superdome 64-socket. But one, and only one, can
be active at a time. There is no redundancy or failover feature.
Provides keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) connections to 16 direct attached Windows partitions (or servers) -
expandable to 128.
Allows access to partitions (or servers) from a remote centralized console.

The purpose of the Support Management Station (SMS) is to provide Customer Engineers with an industry-leading set of
support tools, and thereby enable faster troubleshooting and more precise problem root-cause analysis. It also enables
remote support by factory experts who consult with and back up the HP Customer Engineer. The SMS complements the
proactive role of HP's Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) (which is offered to Mission Critical customers), by focusing
on reactive diagnosis, for both mission-critical and non-mission-critical Superdome customers.
The user of the SMS is the HP Customer Engineer and HP Factory Support Engineer. The Superdome customer benefits from
their use of the SMS by receiving faster return to normal operation of their Superdome server, and improved accuracy of fault
diagnosis, resulting in fewer callbacks. HP can offer better service through reduced installation time.
Only one SMS is required per customer site (or data center) connected to each platform via Ethernet LAN. Physically, it
would be beneficial to have the SMS close to the associated platforms because the customer engineer will run the scan tools
and would need to be near platform to replace failing hardware. The physical connection from the platform is an Ethernet
connection and thus, the absolute maximum distance is not limited by physical constraints.
The SMS supports a single LAN interface that is connected to the Superdome and to the customer's management LAN.
When connected in this manner, SMS operations can be performed remotely.

The SMS will contain one physical Ethernet connection, namely a 10/100Base-T connection. Note that the connection on
Superdome (MP) is also 10/100Base-T, as is the LAN connection on the core I/O card installed in each hardware partition.
