Setting Up the CE Tool (PC)
The CE Tool is usually a laptop. It allows communication with the Management Processor (MP) in the hp
rp7405/rp7410. The MP monitors the activity of either a one partition or a multiple partition configuration.
During installation, communicating with the MP enables such tasks as:
• Verifying that the components are present and installed correctly
• Setting LAN IP addresses
• Shutting down cell board power
Communication with the MP is established by connecting the CE Tool to the Local RS-232 port on the MP
Core I/O card.
Setting CE Tool Parameters
After powering on the CE Tool, ensure the communications settings are as follows:
• 8/none (parity)
• 9600 baud
• na (Receive)
•na (Transmit)
