Remote Control Panel; I/O Processor And I/O Adapter Support - IBM i series Handbook

Refer to Informational APAR II11804 for additional details regarding workstation
considerations when attached devices or cabling do not support 5250 Express Data Stream.
Additional information on 5250 Express Data Stream is available on the Web at:

The IBM 7299 twinax-to-fiber multiplexer fully supports all the new functions of the #2720,
#2722, #2746, #4746, and #6180 workstation controllers.

Remote Control Panel

#0382 Remote Control Panel Cable enables use of the Remote Control Panel function on a
PC. The iSeries servers use a parallel interface (LPT) instead of a COM port for the Remote
Control Panel. The parallel port must be configured to use the Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP)
support. It must be EPP Version 1.9 compliant, which may require the PC's Basic
Input/Output Services (BIOS) to change. Check with your PC manufacturer for any
assistance, if needed. For cable connection details and PC requirements, see the AS/400
Operations Console Setup Guide , which is available at:
http://www.as400service.ibm.com/supporthome.nsf/Document/10000051
Notes :
• Due to the way EPP Version 1.9 support is implemented to support the remote control
panel, there may be PCs that do not support the use of this function.
• Use of the Remote Control Panel function is independent of the System Console.
• The Remote Control Panel function can be used with any System Console Specify.
• The Remote Control Panel Cable is not required for a LAN attached console (#5546 or
#5548).
Remote Control Panel is installed and used from PCs running the Windows NT 4.0 or
Windows 2000 Professional PC operating systems.

I/O Processor and I/O Adapter Support

The following list shows the supported IOPs and IOAs. See "I/O Processor" on page 277 and
"I/O Adapters and Controllers" on page 291 for full descriptions.
Note
PCI configuration rules are quite flexible. See the "PCI Card Placement Rules" chapter of
the iSeries and AS/400e System Builder , SG24-2155, for rules on placing the PCI card in
configurations.
