About This Document

This guide provides instructions for using the AB300X Server Console Solution. This solution

uses an HP Thin Client as a terminal emulator for the HP 9000 and Integrity servers.

The HP 9000 and Integrity servers use a character cell (“dumb”) terminal over a serial RS232

connection to act as the console for the system. This approach is used because the console must

communicate with server hardware over a simple link that does not require an active server OS.

Traditional dumb terminals offer limited functionality and are increasingly difficult to supply.

1 Thin client operation

Routine thin client care

Use the following information to properly care for your thin client:

• Never operate the thin client with the outside panel removed.

• Keep the thin client away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme heat and

cold. For information about recommended temperature and humidity ranges for the thin

client, see product specifications.

• Keep liquids away from the thin client and keyboard.

• Turn off the thin client and wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Using

cleaning products may discolor or damage the finish.
