Note: If you are using a PC, you must install an emulation program.
Read all safety procedures before servicing the system. Observe all safety procedures when performing a
procedure. Unless instructed otherwise, always power off the system or expansion tower where the FRU is
located, (see Power on/off the system and logical partitions) before removing, exchanging, or installing a
