Hi Bruno,

you need to buy the following accesories:

A6150B PCI 2D Graphics and 2 port USB Adptrs

and

A7782A HP USB to Dual port PS/2 Adaptor

From A6150B bundle you need to use the graphics card only. The A7782A adaptor must be connected to buil-in USB port on the rear of rp4440 server.

Regards,
Zygmunt

You may want to check 11.23PI (11i version 2 update 2) to see if there isn't a driver in it to support the internal vga port.

Note to Ted's response:

yes, HP-UX 11i v2 (Sept 2004) has the driver included. Read the following:

"There is an embedded VGA controller in the HP 9000 rp4440-8 server. However, HP-UX 11i v1 does not include a driver for this embedded VGA controller and it has been necessary to purchase the A6150B Graphics Solution to get a VGA interface at an added cost of $799 List. With the release of HP-UX 11i Version 2 on the rp4440-8, it is now possible to use the embedded VGA controller with HP-UX because a driver is included in Version 2. This is another good reason for customers to change from HP-UX 11i Version 1 to Version 2"
