|
| c. Wait for the status to show Disconnected.
| 2. Cable the twinaxial console to the server and power on the twinaxial console and the server.
3. Perform an initial program load (IPL) to ensure there are no errors. Then, at a later time, remove or
|
move any hardware you planned for.
|
When you are satisfied with your new console delete the current configuration if you will not be using
|
the cabled connection as a backup console. To delete the configuration, do the following:
|
| 1. Select the configuration name (under iSeries Connection).
| 2. From the Connection menu, click Delete.
| 3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

that you power down the iSeries before removing any cables or adapters from the iSeries.

| Note: If the new console fails to work in OS/400 you may need to use another workstation to manually
delete the controller and device description associated with the old console device.
