2 Configuring the Server
Introduction
This chapter provides information about interface connections, configuring the server management processor
(MP), and booting the HP Server.
Core I/O Connections
Each hp 9000 rp4440 Server core I/O includes:
• Two USB ports
• One UDMA-100 IDE port (40-pin IDE connector)
• One common server management (CSM)
— One 10/100 LAN-RJ45
— Three serial ports
• SCSI host bus adapter (HBA)
— The SCSI HBA board is required to attach SCSI external mass storage to the system
— Connections to the SCSI board include the external SCSI channels for external mass storage devices
CAUTION Some restrictions apply to external mass storage devices that you may want to connect to
channel B of your core I/O SCSI HBA. External connections to channel B of your SCSI HBA
controller are only supported in simplex configuration, when the internal cable between the
SCSI backplane and the SCSI HBA card is disconnected. If your system has been converted
to the duplex configuration, you may not connect external SCSI devices to channel B of the
SCSI HBA. (Instructions and information about converting the server to duplex or simplex
are provided in the hp9000 rp4440 Installation Guide.)
• LAN Connection
— The LAN board provides the basic external I/O connectivity for the system
— Connections to the LAN card include one 10/100/1000 Base-T LAN RJ45 connector
