6 Configuration Notes for Cisco Media Convergence Server 7830
Configuring the Cisco Media Convergence Server 7830
Powering Up the Server for the First Time
When you first power up the MCS-7830, you are prompted to enter configuration information for
the server. At initial power-up, the MCS-7830 automatically installs the operating system and any
factory-supplied software, including Cisco CallManager. This section describes the steps required
to complete the server configuration and software installation.
Connecting a Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse to the Server
A monitor, keyboard, and mouse are not supplied with the MCS-7830. You must supply these items
for use during configuration of the MCS-7830.
The mouse plugs into the standard mouse connector marked on the back of the server, but the
monitor and keyboard connect to the Remote Insight Board installed in the server.
To connect the monitor to the Remote Insight Board, plug the monitor cable into the monitor
connector on the back of the Remote Insight Board.
To connect the keyboard to the Remote Insight Board, follow these steps:
Step 1 Using the Y cable provided with the Remote Insight Board/PCI option kit, plug the
middle connector of the Y cable into the standard keyboard connector marked on the back
of the server.
Step 2 Plug the long leg of the Y connector into the keyboard connector on the back of the
Remote Insight Board.
Step 3 Plug the keyboard cable into the short leg of the Y cable.
For more information on making connections to the Remote Insight Board, refer to the Remote
Insight Board/PCI User Guide, available from Compaq Computer Corporation.
Starting the Server Configuration Process
To initiate configuration of the MCS-7830, follow these steps:
Step 1 Connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the server as described in “Connecting a
Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse to the Server” section on page 6.
Step 2 Power up the server.
Note During installation, the server reboots several times. Do not power off the server any time
during this process. Any power interruption during the installation process could prevent proper
completion of the configuration and might prevent the operating system from restarting.
Step 3 Carefully follow the online prompts and make keyboard entries only when prompted by
the system.
Step 4 At the title screen, type C to continue the configuration process.
You can also type V to view the server specifications. If you select this option, use the
Page-Up and Page-Down keys to scroll through the specifications list. When you are
done viewing the specifications list, press the Escape (Esc) key to exit the list. Then type
C to continue the configuration process.
