Determining which console to use
Your console, monitor, or interface choices are guided by whether you create logical partitions, which
operating system you install in your primary partition, and whether you install a Virtual I/O Server (VIOS)
in one of your logical partitions.
Go to the instructions for the applicable console, interface, or terminal in the following table.
Table 1. Available console types
Console type Operating system
ASCII terminal AIX
VIOS
Hardware AIX, IBM i, Linux,
Management or VIOS
Console (HMC)
Operations Console IBM i
Keyboard, video, Linux or VIOS
and mouse (KVM)
Cabling the server with an ASCII terminal
If you are not creating logical partitions, you can use an ASCII terminal to manage a server that is running
the AIX, Linux, or VIOS operating systems. From the ASCII terminal, you can access the Advanced System
Management Interface (ASMI) to complete more installation tasks.
About this task
The ASCII terminal is connected to the server through a serial link. The ASCII interface to the ASMI
provides a subset of the web interface functions. The ASCII terminal for the ASMI interface is available
only when the system is in the standby state. It is not available during the initial program load (IPL) or run
time.
Note: If you are using a serial connection to the ASMI terminal, you must use a conversion cable.
This cable (part number 46K5108) is used to convert the ASCII terminal 9-pin Dshell connector to
an RJ45 serial port connector on the system. For information about the locations of the connectors
on the system, see Part locations and location codes (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/
POWER10/p10ecs/p10ecs_locations.htm).
