Install the Hardware Management Console (HMC)

The Hardware Management Console (HMC) user interface provides the functions
needed to create and maintain a multiple-partitioned environment.

Position the HMC and Monitor

Position the HMC and monitor at or near their desired location.
v The HMC weighs between 34 kg (75 pounds) and 41 kg (90 pounds). Do not try to
lift the HMC by yourself.
v Monitors can weigh as much as 35 kg (77 pounds). Use caution when lifting or
moving the monitor.
v Leave enough space around the HMC to safely and easily complete the setup
procedures.
v Observe standard ergonomic guidelines while arranging your system unit so that you
can work comfortably and safely. For more information on arranging your workstation,
visit the Healthy Computing Web address at:

v Be sure to maintain at least 51 mm (2 inches) of space on the sides of the system
unit and 152 mm (6 inches) at the rear of the system unit to allow the system unit to
cool properly. The front of the system requires a minimum of 76 mm (3 inches) of
space. Blocking the air vents can cause overheating, which might result in a
malfunction or permanent damage to the system unit.
v Put the HMC in a location where all necessary power outlets and network
connections can safely be reached.
v Put the display in a stable and sturdy location.

Use the following steps to connect the cables to your HMC. Look for the small icons on
the back of your HMC, that show where to attach the keyboard, mouse and display
cables.
