Installing the HP 16- and 48-port SCS
To install the SCS:
1.
Determine the method for IP address configuration: BootP (default) or Static. See "Configuring the SCS."
2.
Note the media access control (MAC) address on the SCS.
NOTE:
The MAC address is located on the top of all 16-port SCS and on the bottom of all 48-port SCS.
3.
Rack mount the console server. See "Rack mounting the HP 16- and 48-port SCS."
4.
Connect serial devices (A) to the Serial Console Server (SCS) serial ports and the console port. See "Device
cabling."
IMPORTANT:
Use a straight-through CAT5 cable when connecting the serial devices.
5.
Connect each device to its appropriate power source, following the documentation of the device.
6.
Connect the LAN (B) by attaching a CAT5 or better interface cable to the LAN port connector on the front of the
SCS.
7.
If using BootP for IP address assignment, configure the BootP server with the MAC address noted in step 2. See
"Configuring the network address settings using BootP."
8.
Insert the power cord into the back of the SCS and attach the strain relief to secure the power cord to the SCS.
9.
Insert the other end of the power cord into a grounded electrical receptacle.
10.
Verify that the power LED on the front of the SCS is illuminated. If not, ensure that the power cable is inserted
correctly into the back of the SCS.
IMPORTANT:
The online LED illuminates within two to three minutes to indicate that the self-test is complete. If
the online LED blinks, contact HP technical support for assistance.
11.
Verify that the LAN LEDs indicate that a 10/100 Mbps link exists. If not, ensure that both ends of the Ethernet
cable are correctly inserted into their jacks.
12.
After the power, online, and a valid LAN LED link sequence are illuminated, proceed with the configuration
process.
NOTE:
Steps 1 and 2 should be performed before power is applied to the SCS
