Set up a GUI console
A GUI console is a VGA monitor, a USB HP keyboard, and a USB mouse connected to the server.
(You can use a USB-to-PS2 converter to connect to a console switch).
NOTE: If a VGA card is not already installed, you must install the HP Graphics and USB Combo
Card to use a GUI console. No other graphics card is supported by HP Integrity servers. Also,
only HP keyboards are supported with this card.
Figure 1-2 shows a GUI console connected to an HP Integrity rx4640 server.
