If the customer has decided to use a single or several VGAs to control an ES47
cabinet that has 4 separate 2P systems, each system (drawer) must have its own
graphics card connecting to a VGA or to a KVM switch . With this type of
connection, the VGA only has SRM console access and each drawer must be
powered up by using the OCP pushbuttons.
Since the SRM console environment variable is set to serial in manufacturing,
after power-up, issue the set console graphic command.
Making the hardware connection:
In this case, each 2P drawer has its own graphics card in its AGP port. You can
have 4 separate VGAs, each connected a graphics card or have one VGA
connected to a KVM switch. This procedure assumes the latter configuration.
1. Connect each graphic card in the each 2P drawer to the KVM switch.
2. Connect your graphics terminal to the KVM switch.
Refer to the KVM documentation for configuration information.
Setting up:
1. Use the keyswitch or the OCP pushbuttons to power up the system.
2. Hit return on the graphics terminal.
3. Type the set console graphics command.
4. You should see the P00>>> prompt.
