Cable the HMC and the system unit
A Hardware Management Console (HMC) is a system that connects to the workstation and
manages it through a network.
If you are not using an HMC to manage your workstation, you can use either the Integrated
Virtualization Manager or the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI). To use the
Integrated Virtualization Manager, follow the setup instructions in the IBM Systems
Hardware Information Center. For details about how to access the information center, see

If you are using a rack-mounted HMC, these steps assume that it is already installed in the rack.
If you need to install the HMC into the rack, follow the instructions in the IBM Systems Hardware
Information Center, and return to this guide when you are ready to begin cabling your HMC. For details
about how to access the information center, see task 5
If you are using any optional adapters, connect the cables to the appropriate
