See other side of poster for setup and installation in a rack.
2. If you are configuring a Microsoft or Linux operating
system, connect the Ethernet crossover cable between the
servers. Use the same RJ-45 connector (1), NIC 1, on each
server.
3. Connect the peripheral devices such as the keyboard,
mouse, and monitor. For information on peripheral device
connections, refer to "Component and LED Identification"
on this poster.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
damage to the equipment, do not plug telephone or
telecommunications connectors into RJ-45 connectors.
IMPORTANT: If the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II (RILOE II)
board is installed in the server, be sure that you can attach the
video cable to the video connector on the rear of the RILOE II
board. The standard video connector on the server rear panel is
not used when the RILOE II board is installed. For more information,
refer to the HP Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II User Guide on
the Documentation CD.
NOTE: If you are using a KVM switchbox, refer to the switchbox
documentation for detailed instructions.
4. Connect the power cords to the servers and storage system.
