Chapter 7
Connecting the Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, and UPS
56
1. Place the monitor, keyboard, and mouse near the HP Server and connect these
devices to the Server using the connections provided on the rear of the
chassis. See Figure 7-1.
NOTE
If you have a console switch box, refer to the switch box's user
guide for instructions on connecting the keyboard, mouse, and
monitor.
CAUTION
The Keyboard and Mouse ports are both PS/2 ports, but are
not interchangeable. If you plug the keyboard into the Mouse
port, or the mouse into the Keyboard port, you will get an
error message and the system will not finish the boot process.
2. If a LAN cable is provided, you may connect it now, or wait until you have
verified the Server's operation.
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to the HP Server’s power supply,
set the input voltage selector to the correct input voltage.
3. Check the input voltage selector to ensure you have the correct input voltage
selected.
Connecting the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
If you don’t use a UPS with the Server, you may experience an arching effect
when you plug in the power cord to the AC power source. This is normal, due to
the high inrush current of the power supply.
1. Place the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) near the HP Server to connect
the two devices.
2. Connect the serial cable and power cord provided between the UPS and the
HP Server.
Refer to the user guide included with the UPS for additional information.
3. If you have connected the serial cable and power cord between the two
devices, turn on the UPS.
The HP Server tc2100 performs a diagnostic test when the power switch is
turned on. If an error condition occurs, note any error code appearing on the
display, then refer to Chapter 9, "Troubleshooting."
