Note: (1)These locations will only be available if the Integrated Ethernet Port is not operational.
|
| Notes:
| 1. For a local console directly attached to the server the console and the remote control panel functions
each need a special cable.
|
2. On servers other than the 270 and 8xx, the cables for the console and the control panel cannot be
|
| interchanged, even though both are serial cables.
| 3. If you are currently using electronic customer support (ECS), you must move the electronic customer
support cabling to another communications port before trying to install Operations Console directly
|
attached.
|
Note: You may need to reassign your ECS resources.
|
4. The Console table only pertains to the primary or first partition. Any supported adapter might be
|
| used in a logical partition. There are cases where the Multi-function Input/Output Processor (MFIOP)
may not support certain Input/Output Adapter (IOA) types in a logical partition. When in doubt,
|
contact your service representative.
|
For more information, see Install the Operations Console cable.
|
| Verify available communications port: For the configuration wizard to successfully configure
| Operations Console, you need to verify that you have an available communications port. You need a
connector for a communications interface such as a serial port. One COM port is required for system
|
| console support and one COM port is required for remote control panel support (except for servers 270
and 8xx which require a parallel port for remote control panel support). Operations Console supports
|
serial COM ports 1-9 and LPT port 1.
|
To check that you have an available communication port, run the PC prerequisite checking program. The
|
program provides instructions to find an available port if your communications port is not available.
|
| When you configure Operations Console, the wizard will search for this port for the console.
Note: Operations Console does not use any embedded serial ports located on the servers.
|
The use of Universal Serial Bus (USB)-to-serial adapter support has been added to Operations Console.
|
The adapter would be placed at the PC end of the console's serial cable and connect to the PC's USB
|
| port, instead of the console cable going to a serial port. When the USB adapter is installed following the
manufacturer's instructions, it will assign a serial port to that adapter, for example COM4. The adapter
