Chapter 7: Console devices
Description
The 2060 CPU Card has three options for console devices. You can use a monitor
and a keyboard as your console. You can use COM1 as the console, or you can run
the system without a console device.
Selecting console devices
The following represent the options on the 2060 CPU Card for console devices:
A standard VGA/SVGA monitor and a keyboard.
Serial console from COM1. A serial cable/null modem adapter plugged into a
host PC running HyperTerminal (or equivalent) provides both input and
output. The local keyboard also allows input but is not required.
No console device means no video output, either from a monitor or the serial
console. A local keyboard allows input but is not required.
Monitor and keyboard console
To use a monitor and keyboard as the console, you will need the following
equipment (or equivalent):
2060 CPU Card
2060 HDC-18-SBC-Multiport cable, #6387
2 mm VGA-12 video cable, #6392
PS/2 style keyboard

To connect a monitor and keyboard:

jumpers before installing the 2060 CPU Card.
