The graphic shown below illustrates locations of the external connections to the server.
Figure 1-3 External Connections to the Server
Connect External Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) Devices
Connect external SCSI devices to the single ended SCSI bus (labeled: Narrow Single-Ended SCSI Path:
0/0/2/0) on the system card or to the Ultra 2 SCSI bus (labeled: Ultra 2 SCSI Path: 0/0/1/0).
Ensure that all devices on the SCSI bus have a unique address and the last device is terminated. Refer to the
documentation accompanying each device to learn how to set addresses and where to place terminators.
Connect a System Console
NOTE For more information on console configuration, refer to the rp24xx Hardware Manual (search
on rp2400) at http://docs.hp.com.
•Using the ASCII Terminal as a System Console. If an ASCII terminal is to be used as a console/UPS
port, make sure that the keyboard is connected and a power cable is available.
•Using a Secure Web Console PCI card as a System Console. If the Secure Web Console PCI card is
to be used as a system console, first configure the Guardian Service Processor (GSP). For more
information on GSP configuration, refer to the rp24xx Hardware Manual (search on rp2400) at
http://docs.hp.com.
Then, connect an RJ45 LAN cable to the Secure Web Console PCI card installed in an I/O card slot on the
back of the server.

NOTE The Web Console has a default Internet Protocol (IP) address of 192.0.0.192 for rp2400
and rp2450 servers, and 127.0.0.1 for rp2430 and rp2470 servers. Make sure that no
other device, including other rp24xx servers, has this address before connecting the server
to your LAN.
•Using the LAN Console as a System Console. If a LAN Console is to be used as a system console, first
configure the Guardian Service Processor (GSP). For more information on GSP configuration, refer to the
rp24xx Hardware Manual (search on rp2400) at http://docs.hp.com.
Then, connect it to the system with an RJ45 LAN cable to the RJ45 connector labeled 10BASE-T LAN
Console connection on the back of the server.
Connect the Core Local Area Network (LAN)
Connect the 10/100BASE-T Core LAN on the system board to the LAN with an RJ45 LAN cable. Connect the
RJ45 LAN cable to the server by attaching it to the RJ45 connector labeled 10/100 Base-T Path: 0/0/0/0.
Connect Power Cords
Connect the power cord that is provided with the system to the server. For stand-alone servers, the power cord
will be localized to each country’s power application. If an HP Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is the
power source, use the power cord provided with the UPS.
Connect power cords to all external devices at this time with the either the localized power cord, cabinet
Power Distribution Unit (PDU) power cord, or the UPS power cord.
For cabinet-mounted servers, the server power cord connects to the PDU in the cabinet.
Connecting PDU(s) to Dedicated AC Input Receptacles
In non-HA installations, each PDU should be plugged into a separate dedicated 20amp AC receptacle.
NOTE If the rp24xx server is installed as a standalone, the specialty convenience cord (provided) may
be plugged into either wall outlets with appropriately sized breakers, or a plug strip capable of
providing the total current required for your server’s configuration.
Current requirements vary with input voltage, server configuration, and number of power
supplies installed. Refer to “System Site Preparation” in the rp24xx Hardware Manual at
http://docs.hp.com.

rp24xx Server RS-232 System Local Console Installation
The following describes how to install a system console on an rp24xx Server. The HP-700 series terminal is
used as an example. Other terminals may be used as a system console as long as they are configured for
VT100 terminal emulation mode.
1. Connect the 25-pin end of the A5191-63001 adapter cable to the 25-pin connector on the Console/UPS Port
located on the rear.
2. Connect the 9-pin, “Console,” connector of a A5191-63001 adapter to the 9-pin D-type connector on a
24542G RS-232 cable.
