Console-Less Configuration (Hp 9000 Only) - HP 3000 Series Handbook

For HP Internal Use Only
Console-less Configuration (HP 9000 only)
At this time, the "no local console" configuration is supported only in Japan. Refer to the
current HP 9000 configuration guide to see if additional areas support this configuration.
The HP 9000 Model 800 Ex5 Class systems can be sold without a console. However, the
system must have a local or remote console. The end-user must choose a standard HP
block-mode terminal (e.g. 700/96), the HP 700/60 terminal (in VT320 mode), or a VT100,
VT320, or WYSE 60 third party terminal as the system console. Consult the current HP 9000
configuration guide for current information on supported console devices.
Hewlett-Packard supports Model 800 Ex5 Class systems without a console being directly
attached to port 0 of the local system. A system console must still be accessible through a
modem connection. The modem device is provided to the customer if they order a support
contract.
Three additional components must be ordered by the customer if they want to install the
system without a directly connected console terminal. The components are:
• Two RS- 232 cables
• RS-232 Switchbox
