5. Straighten the rollers on the cabinet base, if needed, and carefully roll it down the ramps.
WARNINGAfter removing the server from the pallet, Do not move the cabinet unless the
anti-tip feet are installed! The cabinet can tip if care is not used. Due to their low
ground clearance the feet may catch on irregularities on the floor, thresholds, or
ramps.
Do not move the cabinet without first installing the anti-tip feet. The cabinet may
tip if moved without the anti-tip feet or ballast installed.
Do not move the cabinet after installing the anti-tip feet unless they are in the
fully-raised position. Once installed, the anti-tip feet must be fully raised to allow
ground clearance.
Because of their low ground clearance, the fully-raised anti-tip feet may need to
be removed temporarily to clear some obstacles such as door jambs, ramps, and
other large irregularities or obstructions on the floor.
If you must temporarily remove the anti-tip feet to clear an obstacle, use extreme
caution when moving the cabinet. Always reinstall the anti-tip feet as soon as the
obstacle has been cleared.
Lower and secure both the anti-tip feet and the cabinet leveling/stabilizer feet
once the cabinet is in place.
Failure to follow these precautions can result in equipment damage or personal
injury.
6. Install the front and rear anti-tip feet using the 1/2 inch bolts provided. Ensure that the anti-tip feet are
installed in the fully up position in the mounting slots. This will provide maximum ground clearance
while moving the cabinet to its final position.
7. Carefully move the cabinet to its installation location.
8. Lower the anti-tip feet to the fully down position and adjust the cabinet leveling feet for best cabinet
stability.

The following describes how to install the A5556A slide-tray assembly into an approved HP cabinet in
preparation for installing an rp54xx server.
This slide-tray assembly can be installed in an HP E-Series cabinet or other HP cabinets approved for rp54xx
system installation. To install the A5556A slide-tray assembly in an approved HP equipment cabinet, proceed
as follows:
Step 1. Determine what type of cabinet you are installing the slide-tray assembly into.
a. E-Series cabinets have:
•Parchment white, plastic, sectional, side panels
•Black painted vertical frame posts with a partial return flange.
b. Approved, non-E-Series, cabinets have:
•Single piece metal side panels
•Gray painted verticle frame posts with full return flanges.

Step 3. On the front vertical mounting posts only, slide M5 sheet metal nuts onto the posts over the holes
immediately adjacent to the vertical slots determined in the previous step. Also place M5 sheet
metal nuts on the holes directly above these. Orient the sheet metal nuts so that the threaded
portion faces towards the outside of the cabinet. There should now be a total of four (4) sheet metal
nuts installed.
Step 4. If the cabinet is a non-E-Series cabinet, discard the left hand and right hand aluminum spacers and
two of the M5 x 16 screws with cress-cup washers and proceed to step 12.
Step 5. If the cabinet is an E-Series cabinet, place the hook of the aluminum spacer marked “L” (5183-1864)
into the appropriate vertical, rectangular slot on the front, left hand mounting post. The hook
points downward. Similarly, place the spacer marked “R” (5183-1863) into the appropriate slot on
the right hand mounting post.
Step 6. Use one M5 x 16 screw with cress-cup washer to attach each spacer to its vertical post. Do this by
inserting the screw through the top hole in the spacer, through the mounting rail and tightening it
into the sheet metal nut located at that position.
Step 7. Take the left hand slide/bracket assembly (marked 337079-1L) and install it into the left hand
vertical mounting posts. This is done by inserting the pin at the rear of the slide's mounting bracket
into the 23rd hole in the rear vertical mounting post and inserting the hook at the front of the

Online Addition/Replacement (OLA/R) of PCI I/O cards
Beginning with HP-UX 11i (11.11) rp54xx servers support the on-line addition and replacement of PCI I/O
cards. In order for this high availability feature to be fully implemented, the following server requirements
must be met:
•rp5400A/rp5450A firmware must be later than 40.26 (rp5400B/rp5450B/rp5470A firmware will support
OLA/R upon its release).
•HP-UX operating system must be 11i (11.11) or later.
There is a bit that the HP-UX operating system examines to determine if the server hardware and firmware
is capable of OLA/R. This bit is controlled by server firmware. If the bit is ON, OLA/R is possible (when
requirements have been met). The bit was mistakenly set to ON for all rp5400 and rp5450 revision A
(rp5400A and rp5450A) servers. As a result, HP-UX may incorrectly identify these models as being OLA/R
capable. In order to avoid this confusion, verify that the correct level of server firmware is installed.

rp54xx servers have a total of 12 PCI I/O slots. Slots 1 and 2 are reserved for the LAN/SCSI and GSP Core I/O
cards, leaving 10 PCI I/O slots available for Customer use. These 10 PCI I/O slots consist of Turbo and
non-Turbo slots.
rp54xx PCI Slots
•Slots 1 and 2 are reserved for the rp54xx LAN/SCSI and GSP (Guardian Service Processor) Core I/O
cards, respectively. Slots 1 and 2 are non-Turbo slots. Non-Turbo slots share a single 250MB/s PCI bus.
Non-Turbo slots are incapable of HotPlug functionality. The server must be turned off prior to removing
or installing the LAN/SCSI or GSP cards in these slots.
•Slots 3 - 6 are non-Turbo slots. These four Non-Turbo slots share a single 250MB/s PCI bus, run at 33MHz
and support 32 and 64-bit PCI cards. Non-Turbo slots are incapable of HotPlug functionality. The server
must be turned off prior to removing or installing PCI cards in these slots.
•Slots 7 - 12 are Turbo slots. Each Turbo slot has a dedicated 250MB/s PCI bus, run at 66MHz and support
32 and 64-bit PCI cards. Turbo slots are HotPlug capable. Below each Turbo slot is a plastic PCI card
separator. The PCI card separator has two LEDs and a pull tab on the outer edge. The LED’s provide
power and status for the slot. The pull tab allows the PCI card to be easily removed.
rp5400 servers can access PCI slots 1,2 and 8-12. rp5450/3000 servers can access all PCI slots.

Guardian Service Processor (GSP) Overview
Guardian Service Processor (GSP) Overview
This section provides an overview of the Guardian Service Processor (GSP). The GSP is an always on,
dedicated service processor that monitors system power, cooling and configuration, and provides console
communications. Power and cooling information is obtained via an interface to the platform monitor card.
Configuration information is obtained via connection to the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) bus. The GSP can
only be installed in slot 2 and must be present for the server to power up.
The GSP has downloadable firmware which can be updated independent of the HP-UX operating system.
GSP firmware updates can occur anytime the GSP is active. If the DC power switch is OFF, the GSP is still
operational and GSP firmware updates can still occur. GSP firmware updates may be performed by
customers.
If the GSP becomes hung, it is possible to reset the GSP without impacting the server. The GSP may be reset
via the GSP RESET button on the right side of the card. The PCI cover panel (right side panel) must first be
removed to allow access to the right side if the GSP card.
The GSP has two connectors on the bulkhead. An RJ-45 for LAN connections and a female DB25 connector for
RS-232 connections. Attach either a “W” or an “M” cable to the DB25 connector to provide individual output
for CONSOLE, REMOTE and UPS.
To access the GSP from the local ASCII console, type control b and the GSP> prompt will appear. It may be
necessary to type control Ecf first. To exit the GSP, type GSP>co.
The GSP was originally a core component of the revision A rp5400 (A5576A) and rp5450 (A5191A) servers.
Beginning with introduction of the revision B rp5400 (A5576B), rp5450 (A5191B), and rp5470 servers the
GSP became a separate, must order product (A6696A).
There are two revisions of rp54xx GSP: rev A (A6696A) and rev B (A6696B). Both GSPs must be installed in
order for the server to power up.
GSP LAN
This LAN is exclusively for LAN console access and is not configurable via HP-UX. The LAN is configured via
GSP commands. Hostname, IP, gateway and subnet mask parameters may be set via the GSP>lc command.
The GSP may also initiate ping via the GSP>xd command.
GSP RS-232
The DB25 connector on the GSP is used for RS-232 communications to a local console (via CONSOLE
connector), a remote console via modem (REMOTE connector), and a UPS (UPS connector). The baud rate,
term type, etc., of the CONSOLE and REMOTE ports are configured via GSP>ca command.
The GSP supports VT100 and HPTERM terminal emulation. For correct communications, the GSP and
RS-232 device must use the same terminal emulation and baud rates.
GSP Features
The revision A GSP provides a 10 base-T LAN connector for LAN console access and a DB-25 connector to
which the A5191-63001 W-cable connects. The W-cable provides REMOTE, UPS, and CONSOLE DB-9
connectors.
Features of the revision A GSP are:
•10 Base-T LAN connector for revision A GSP
Chapter 4

Cable Connections
Guardian Service Processor (GSP) Overview
•10/100 Base-T LAN connector for revision B GSP
•On-board processor dedicated to GSP functions
•Error logging and notification
•Display of system alerts and selftest chassis codes
•Powered by 15 VDC housekeeping power that is present when the front panel switch is off
•Power and configuration monitoring
•RS-232, LAN, REMOTE and WEB console access
•Administrator and user security
•Alphanumeric paging.
There are two revisions of rp54xx GSP: revision A (A6696A) and revision B (A6696B). Due to significant
hardware differences between the revision A and B GSP, each GSP requires it’s own firmware. Revision A
GSP firmware can only be installed in a revision A GSP and revision B GSP firmware can only be installed in
a revision B GSP. The hardware differences are necessary to incorporate the embedded web access, 10/100
Base-t LAN, and faster GSP processor.
The GSP provides four types of console access: RS-232, Remote, LAN and Web. Console information is
mirrored to all four console types. Refer to Configure System Console for more information.
The GSP was originally a core component of the revision A rp5400 (A5576A) and rp5450 (A5191A) servers.
Beginning with introduction of the revision B rp5400 (A5576B), rp5450 (A5191B), and rp5470 servers the
GSP became a separate, must order product (A6696A).
Revision A GSP
The revision A GSP is identified by product number A6696A and part numbers: A5191-60012, A5191-69012,
and A5191-69112.
The revision A GSP requires a “W” cable to be attached to the DB25 connector. The part number of the “W” is
A5191-63001. The “W” cable provides female DB9 connectors for CONSOLE, REMOTE and UPS. The
maximum supported baud rate for the CONSOLE and REMOTE connectors is 19200 baud and 1200 baud for
the UPS.
The paths for the CONSOLE, UPS, and REMOTE are 0/0/4/0.0, 0/0/4/0.1, and 0/0/4/0.2 respectively.
For the rev A GSP, the web console is accomplished by shipping one J3591A Secure Web Console with each
rp54xx server. The Secure Web Console can be used in place of an ASCII console to provide console access via
a web connection. If you are installing an rp54xx server that does not have an ASCII console, you may use the
Secure Web Console as the console. However, you must first configure the Secure Web Console. Refer to
Secure Web Console Installation and Configuration for more information on SWC Installation/Configuration.
Revision B GSP
The revision B GSP is identified by product number A6696B and part numbers: A6144-60012, A6144-69012,
and A6144-69112.
The revision B GSP requires an “M” cable to be attached to the DB25 connector. The part number of the “M”
cable is A6144-63001. The “M” cable provides female DB9 connectors for CONSOLE, REMOTE, and UPS.
The maximum supported baud rate for the CONSOLE and REMOTE connectors is 38400 baud and 1200
baud for the UPS.
The paths for the CONSOLE, UPS, and REMOTE are 0/0/4/1.0, 0/0/4/1.1 and 0/0/4/1.2 respectively.

GSP Cables
Both the revision A and B GSPs provide a DB-25 connector for RS-232 communications. Connect the
A5191-63001 W- cable to the revision A GSP DB25 connector or connect the A6144-63001 M-cable to the
revision B GSP DB25 connector. These cables provide individual DB9 connectors for REMOTE, UPS and
CONSOLE.
NOTEUse the A5191-63001 W-cable with revision A GSP and A6144-63001 M-cable with revision B
GSP only. Failure to use the right cable can result in reduced functionality.
The W and M-cables are slightly different. The W-cable has full RS-232 capability on the REMOTE and
CONSOLE connectors and partial RS-232 capability on the UPS connector. The M-cable has full RS-232
capability on the REMOTE and UPS connectors and partial RS-232 capability on the CONSOLE connector.
The cable change is to be consistent with rp54xx functionality. The cables are different colors to easily tell
them apart. The W-cable is gray and has part number A5191-63001. The M-cable is black and has part
number A6144-63001.
Configure RS-232 Console
The physical connections for an RS-232 console include attaching the correct cable to the GSP. Next, connect
the 24542G cable (supplied) to the CONSOLE connector and the serial port of the ASCII console. A personal
computer (PC) running terminal emulation software may be used in place of an ASCII console. Refer to the
illustration below for RS-232 console.

Step 1. The GSP is located in slot 2 of the rp54xx’ rear card cage. Connect the 25-pin end of:
•the A5191-63001 W-cable to the 25-pin connector on the revision A GSP card (A5191-60012) OR
•the A6144-63001 M-cable to the 25-pin connector on the revision B GSP card (A6144-60012)
Step 2. Connect the 9-pin “Console” connector of either the W or M-cable to the 9-pin D-type connector of a
24542G RS-232 cable.
Step 3. Connect the 25-pin end of the 24542G serial cable to the serial/RS232 port on the ASCII console.
(RS232 Serial Port labeling may vary depending on manufacturer.)
Step 4. Connect the System Console to input AC power.
Step 5. Turn the System Console AC power switch to ON.
After the physical connections have been made, configure the ASCII console. When using the C1099A
Terminal Console, the default settings are recommended. Refer to the C1099A Terminal Console operating
manual for instructions on how to obtain default settings.
The HP 700 series console may also be used as an ASCII console. Both the C1099A Terminal Console and
S700 consoles support HPterm and VT100 emulations. The emulation of the GSP and ASCII console need not
match for communications between them to occur. However, to ensure proper communications, HP
recommends the ASCII console and GSP use the same emulation. HP also recommends that other
configurable parameters on the GSP match those of the ASCII console. Baud rate, start/stop bits, etc... The
default emulation of the GSP is VT100.
Below is a procedure to configure a HP 700 serial console for VT100 emulation.

protocols. Below is an illustration of the LAN console.
The configuration of the LAN console of both the revision A and B GSPs may be done from either an ASCII
console or the external Secure Web Console. For the revision B GSP, an IP may be assigned via LAN by
pinging the LAN from a PC or workstation.
Configuring the GSP LAN Port via an ASCII console
The LAN port of the GSP allows connection via TelNet or http connections. Once the LAN parameters are
configured, the console may be accessed via a TelNet connection or via a web browser (revision B GSP only).
The default IP of the GSP LAN is 127.0.0.1.
NOTEThe GSP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It will need a separate LAN drop,
IP address, and networking information from the port used by HP-UX.
Before starting this procedure, you will need to know the following information:
•I.P. address (for GSP)
•Subnet mask
•Gateway address
•Hostname (this is used when messages are logged or printed)
To configure the GSP LAN port, perform the following steps:

command via an ASCII console. This section describes how to assign the IP address allowing web access. Once
web access is accomplished, use the lc command to configure remaining network parameters.
NOTEThe GSP LAN port is separate from the system LAN port. It will need a separate LAN drop, IP
address, and networking information from the port used by HP-UX.
Before starting this procedure, you will need to know the following information:
•I.P. address (for GSP)
•Subnet mask
•Gateway address
•Hostname (this is used when messages are logged or printed)
To configure the GSP LAN port via LAN, perform the following steps:
NOTEThe GSP must be on the same subnet as the system being used to remotely configure
the LAN port. If it is not, the remote configuration will be unsuccessful.
Step 6. Determine the MAC address of the revision B GSP by examining the GSP MAC address label on
the rear of the server.
Step 7. Use the route add command to add the I.P address of the GSP and remote system to the router.

Step 8. Use the arp command to add an ARP entry for the IP address using the GSP MAC address.
•For HP-UX systems, the format of the MAC address is 00:30:6e:05:0a:ea
•For MS DOS systems, the format of the MAC address is 00-30-6e-05-0a-ea
Step 9. Use the ping command to assign the I.P address for the GSP.
Step 10. The revision B GSP is now accessible via LAN. Access the GSP and configure remaining network
parameters using the LAN Configuration (lc) command:
GSP> lc
The lc command will start a series of prompts. Respond to each prompt with the appropriate information.

For the revision B GSP, the web console is an embedded feature. The steps to configure a web console are the
same as configuring a LAN console. Refer to, “Configure the LAN Console.”
Once the LAN has been configured, access the web console by pointing a web browser, on the same subnet, to
the IP of the GSP LAN.

There is not a separate administration “layer” when using the embedded web access of the revision B GSP.
Web console access via the external Secure Web Console required that you first logon to the SWC, then click
on ACCESS CONSOLE. User configuration was also performed at the Secure Web Console. However, the
revision B GSP web console does not require this additional step. When you point the web browser at the IP of
the GSP LAN, you are directly connected to the GSP. The web console part of the GSP employs the same users
as the GSP.
