HP PDR Management Module quick setup

Quick setup information

The HP PDR Management Module has one configuration port, one ModBus port, and one Ethernet port.
The quick setup can be done through the Service Menu (on page 51) or online Network Setup.

To access the Service Menu, use HyperTerminal with a serial connection.

To access online Network Setup, use a web browser if the assigned IP address is known.

To upgrade the firmware, use the HP Flash Utility with either a serial or network connection (FTP). If a
network connection is selected, enter the IP address, user name and password. For more information, see

"Updating the firmware ("Updating the firmware overview" on page 72)."
The PDR Management Module ships with BootP mode enabled. If the network DHCP server has BootP

enabled and configured, an IP address is automatically assigned to the module during the boot process. If

you have a serial connection and HyperTerminal open at the same time, write down the assigned IP
address for later use.
For the most current information, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower).
