To enable the VGA graphics capability, continue with the next section.
Enabling VGA Graphics Capability
To enable graphics capability on your HP 9000 rp4410 or rp4440 server you must install the supported
A6150B graphics PCI card kit in one of the open PCI slots.
Installing Your A6150B Graphics Card
If you ordered the A6150B graphics card kit for installation into a HP 9000 rp4410 or rp4440 server, install
the graphics card to activate graphics capability. Do not install the USB card; it is not supported. USB
capability is already incorporated into your rp4410 or rp4440 server, and the USB ports are located on the
rear panel.
To install the A6150 graphics card, see “Installing a PCI Card Offline” on page 227.
Connecting a Monitor Using the VGA Port
Use these procedures to connect a monitor to the VGA port on the rear of the server.
NOTE You cannot access the iLO MP using VGA.
This method requires three elements:
• Monitor (with a VGA connector)
• Keyboard (with a USB connector)
• Mouse (with a USB connector)
IMPORTANT The server console output does not display on the console device screen until the server boots to
the
BCH Main Menu. Start a console session using the RS-232 serial port method to view console
output before booting to the BCH Main Menu or to access the iLO MP.
To access the graphic console with VGA, follow these steps:
Step 1. Remove the VGA port cover on the rear of the server.

a. Connect the monitor VGA cable to the appropriate VGA port on the server.
b. Connect the keyboard USB cable to the appropriate USB port on the server.
c. Connect the mouse USB cable to the appropriate USB port on the server.
Step 3. Power on the server. The BCH
Main Menu prompt displays.
The graphic console output displays on the monitor screen.
