We did that on our 996 over two years ago (we had no choice!) and have
had no problems that I'm aware of; however, I checked first with our
local CE, and he warned me that HP doesn't support extending the
console connection. YMMV!

Does anyone know if the console cable (the cable from
the back of the console to the back of the 3000) can be
extended by using a straight-through 25 pin cable from
the back of the console to the 25pin end of the
standard console cable?
Thanks for your input!
