Power Switch

The power switch is also located on the left side of the front panel as part of the power switch/LCD assembly. Use the power switch to power the workstation on and off.

When you press the power switch to power off the workstation, the operating system executes an automatic

shutdown -q

command. This prevents any damage to programs

and data on the system disk. Pressing the power switch on again automatically boots up the HP-UX operating system, if

the system has been configured to auto boot. For information on setting

auto boot

, refer

to the section “Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags” on page 158.

Internal Storage Devices

The B2000 workstation supports the following internal storage devices:

• Up to two hard disk drives

• One CD drive

• Optionally, one floppy disk drive

The following subsections describe these internal storage devices.

Hard Disk Drives

The B2000 workstation has one 9 GB 7200 RPM Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI hard disk drive as a standard component. Optionally, the workstation also supports a second 9 GB 7200 RPM Ultra2 Wide LVD SCSI hard disk drive.

CD Drive

The B2000 workstation has one ATAPI fast CD drive as a standard compone nt. Figur e 1-3 shows the operating features of the CD drive, and Table 1-2 describes these features.

NOTE

The B2000 workstation supports one CD drive only.

data transfer. The indicator blinks initially and then stays lit

when there is one of the following.

• A defective disk

• A disk insertion error (for example, an upside down disk)

• N o di sk present

Eject Button Opens the disk tray so that a CD disk may be inserted in it or

removed from it. When the CD drive is in use, press the eject

button for more than one second to open the disk tray. (Note

that the disk tray does not open if the workstation power is

off.) Then press it again to close the disk tray. Emergency Eject Hole Opens the disk tray when you insert a paper clip into it. Used

when the workstation does not have power and the disk tray

cannot be opened by pressing the eject button.

I/O Slots

The four I/O slots located at the top left of the rear panel are PCI (Peripheral Connect Interface) slots, whi ch can be used for add-on I/O interface cards. There are two PCI-2X slots and two PCI-1X slots, which are defined as follows:

Slot 1: Slot 2: Slot 3: Slot 4:

Serial Connectors

There are a variety of pointing devices (such as a mouse or trac kba ll) or peripheral devices (including printers, plotters, modems, and scanners) that can be attached to the two RS-232 Serial Input/Output (SIO) ports on the rear panel of this workstation. Refer to the label on the rear of the w orkstation to locate serial port 1 and serial port 2. Consult the documentation that accompanies each pointing device or peripheral device for specific information concerning its use.

The SIO ports are programmable, allowing functions such as bit rate, character length, parity, and stop bits to be set. You can set these by using the HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) utility, or by selecting a system special device file with the functions already programmed. The SIO ports are used as interfaces for serial asynchronous devices to the CPU.

Table 1-4 shows the SIO connector pin listings. The serial connectors are 9-pin D-sub connectors. Signal names are those specified in the EIA RS-232 standard.

USB Connectors

The USB connectors located on the rear panel of the workstation provide interface s for the keyboard and mouse to the system. These USB connectors support only the HP keyboard, HP mouse, USB hub, or other HP-recommended USB devices. The keyboard and mouse may be plugged into either USB connector on the rear of the workstation or plugged into the USB hub. No other USB configuration is currently supported. Consult the documentation that accompanies each USB input device for specific information concerning its use.

NOTE

The USB HP keyboard and USB HP three-button mouse are shipped with the B2000 workstation. The USB hub and USB HP scroll-wheel mouse may be ordered separately.

For more information on USB, see the Universal Serial Bus website at the following URL:

http://www.usb.org

CAUTION

Use of USB devices other than those approved by HP may result in unpredictable functionality and inferior performance of the B2000 workstation.

NOTE

The USB cable clip on the rear of the workstation (see Figure 1-5 on page 22) provides strain relief for USB cables. To secure USB cables, open the cable clip, loop the cables through the clip, and snap it closed.

LAN Connector

The B2000 workstation has one built-in, Ethernet IEEE 802.3, RJ45 Twisted Pair (TP) connector for 802.3 (Ethernet) or 10/100BaseT netw orking. The workstation automatically selects the cor re c t n et w o r k se tt i n g.

Parallel Connector

The 25-pin HP Parallel I/O interface uses IEEE 1284 I/O interface protocols to support peripheral devices such as printers and plotters. Consult the documentation that accompanies each peripheral device for specific information concerning its use.

Audio Connectors

The B2000 workstation has audio-input and -output capabilities through external input and output connectors on the rear panel and through an internal speaker. The sound is 16-bit, 44 kHz (CD-quality).

As shown in Figure 1-6, the workstation’s rear panel contains four audio connectors: Line In, Line Out, Microphone In, and Headphones Out.

Figure 1-6. Audio Connectors

TOC Button

The TOC (transfer of control) button interrupts the system and transfers control from the default device to an auxiliary device. A transfer of control saves the state of the processor in Processor Internal Memory (PIM) and begins execution of recovery software at a nonzero location specified by a special location in Page Zero called MEM_TOC. The TOC code is protected by a checksum.

3. Lock the padlock. The workstation’s left side panel is now secure.

Power Cord Connector

Plug the workstation’s power cord into the power cord connector to p rovide AC powe r to the system.

Monitors

The B2000 workstation supports monitors set to one of the following resolutions:

• 1280×1024 color (stereo capable), 75Hz, VESA

• 1600×1200 color, 75Hz, VESA

• 1280×1024 color, 75 Hz, VESA

The workstation must have either an HP-supported monitor running at 75 Hz with a 1280×1024 resolution, or a full multi-mode color monitor. Monitors with EVC, D-Sub, or 5 BNC connectors (RGB, vertical sync, horizontal sync) will function.

NOTE

Note that you can connect the B2000 workstation to earlier HP monitors with 15-pin miniature D-Sub cables using the A4168A adapter shipped with the workstation’s accessory kit.

Before using a monitor, you should become familiar with its controls, connectors, and indicators. For information about using a monitor, see the documentation that came with the monitor.

The HP V types that use a sync on green signal. This includes monitors such as the HP 1097A/B/C/D, A2088A, and A2828A/ B that only have 3 BNC connec tors.

Operating System Overview

The B2000 workstation runs the HP-UX operating system version 10.20 with the 9912 Additional Core Enhancements (ACE ) software bundle (December 1999). To verify which version of the operating system is running on a B2000 workstation, use the command

swlist

available at the following URL:

http://software.hp.com/

The B2000 workstation is an Instant Ignition system (that is, a system with preloaded software). It has X-Windows, HP’s graphical user interface, and HP CDE (Common Desktop Environment) already installed and configured. If the Instant Ignitio n syst em does not have the kernel preconfigured with all of the required device drivers, refer to the Managing Systems and Workgroups manual to configure the kernel. If you have any questions about Instant Ignition, refer to the Using You r HP Workstation manual.
