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.
Configuring the AB300X as an RS-232 Console
