[HPADM] OLD G30 Question

Hello Admins,

We have in our data center, an old G30 sitting on the bottom of one of our
racks. Apparently it is/was running some kind of engineering software and is
not working anymore (engineers are complaining). Nobody knows anything about
this box. So, being the UNIX admin I have been trying to get into it. I
tried to boot it into single user mode, but apparently the terminal is not
connected as the console. It (the terminal) is plugged into what looks to be
some kind of group of mux panels. It has about 40 ports and they are all
empty. There are 4 panels and the connections from each goes into one giant
connector on the back of the G30. There is no card in the back of the box
that will allow me to plug a terminal directly into this box. My question is
this, has anyone heard of or seen this kind of set up? And if so, do you
have any idea how I can connect this guy to get a normal console?

Thanks,
