Connect an Additional 128-Port Asynchronous Adapter
An additional optional 128-port asynchronous adapter can be installed. The D-shell connectors on the rear
of the adapter attach to RANs. Serial cables can be connected from any of the ports on a RAN to the
HMC1 ports on the managed systems.
If you are using a second, redundant HMC, connect cables from all the processor subsystem HMC1 ports
to the RAN on one HMC, and connect all the processor subsystem HMC2 ports to the RANs on the other
HMC.
To install and configure an additional 128-port asynchronous adapter, refer to the IBM Hardware
Management Console for pSeries Maintenance Guide.
Step 13. Connect the External Modem
The external modem is used in conjunction with the HMC's Service Agent and Call Home features. To
install the external modem, refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and
Operations Guide.
Step 14. Connect the Ethernet LAN Cable
DANGER
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers, telephones, or
station protectors for communications lines.
D12
The customer is responsible for providing the Ethernet LAN cable. The Ethernet LAN cable is required
because each active partition reports errors to the HMC's Service Focal Point application through the LAN
network. To connect the LAN cable, refer to the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries
Installation and Operations Guide.
Step 15. Connect the High Power Switch Cables
See Appendix H, "LAN and Switch Cable Installation and Management Procedures," on page 161.
Step 16. Connect the Power Cords
1. Connect the HMC power cord into the power receptacle on the rear of the HMC.
2. Plug the power cords for the display, HMC, and modem (if applicable) into electrical outlets.
3. Plug in the power cords from the rack to the electrical power source.
Step 17. Turn on the IBF Breaker (If Present)
Turn on the Integrated Battery Feature (IBF) breaker.
