The following technical requirements must be met in order to connect graphical consoles:
– PCI graphics controller D:GP70F-CC10
The GP 7000F models can be made into a workstation or server with a graphical
console by means of a PCI graphics card featuring a frame buffer.
– An RM keyboard and mouse can be connected via the D:GP70F-AN10 interface
converter. All models in the GP 7000F server family have a Sun-compatible
keyboard/mouse interface. The adapter converts the interface signals to allow the
keyboard and 3-button mouse featuring a PC-compatible interface to be connected
to the server.

2.3 Teleservice
The teleservice modem has to be connected via V.24 to the system board. The modem has
to be ordered separately owing to national variants.
If a LAN console is used, connection of the modem is to the LAN console PC. Thus one
teleservice port serves all connected servers.
