Before you begin

The exclamation mark surrounded by a gray triangle denotes caution. A CAUTION notice
indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing moderate or minor
personal injury. Before doing a step that contains a caution icon, read and understand the
caution statement that accompanies it.

Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as a shelf or workspace. Do not place any
object on top of rack-mounted devices.

Use safe practices when lifting.

The following steps guide you through a LAN implementation of Operations Console. If you are using a local
console that is directly attached, follow the setup instructions in the IBM Systems Hardware Information
Center. For details about how to access the information center, see task 11 .Finish your system setup

If you are using a PC that is already in use as your system console, you do not need to power off the system
console to complete this procedure.

Prerequisite: This task requires one or more Ethernet cables that are not supplied with your server.

If necessary, connect an Ethernet cable from the PC that
will serve as the system console to your local network,
router, switch, or hub.

Connect another network cable from the same local
network, router, switch, or hub, to the first embedded
Ethernet port (P1-T5) or the adapter card in position C5
or C2 on the back of the server.

back of the server, and connect to the server, monitor, and HMC. Do

not connect the power cords to a power source until instructed to
do so.

Important: Ensure that if there is a voltage switch next to the power connector on the

monitor, it is in the appropriate position for the voltage used in your geography.

Connect the mouse and keyboard cables to the appropriate ports on the back
of the HMC. If your mouse and keyboard use Universal Serial Bus (USB)
cables, you can connect these to the ports on the front of the HMC.

Cable the server

Attach the monitor cable to the monitor connector on the HMC and
tighten the screws.

Tip: If you are using the rack-mounted LCD monitor and keyboard (7316-TF3), use the
C2T-to-KVM adapter breakout cable to attach to the HMC.

If you are not using a modem, skip to step 9.6.

If you are using the integrated HMC modem, connect the telephone cable to the modem
and to the analog jack on the wall. If you are using an external modem, connect the
modem data cable to the external modem and to a serial port on the HMC. Then connect
the telephone cable to the external modem and to the analog jack on the wall.

9.6

Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the HMC and to the
Ethernet port labeled HMC1 on the server.

For a stand-alone HMC, use the integrated Ethernet port. For the 7310-CR2 rack-mounted
HMC, use the bottom-right Ethernet port. For the 7310-CR3 rack-mounted HMC, use the
left port of the two planar board Ethernet ports.
