2. Connect the power cord from the server to a power source.
3. Wait for the green light on the control panel to start flashing.
4. Ensure that your ASCII terminal is set to the following general attributes.
These attributes are the default settings for the diagnostic programs. Be sure that your terminal is set
according to these attributes before proceeding to the next step.

5. Press a key on the ASCII terminal to allow the service processor to confirm the presence of the ASCII
terminal.
6. When the login display appears for the ASMI, enter admin for the user ID and password.
7. Change the default password when you are prompted.
You have completed the setup for an ASCII terminal, and have started the ASMI.
8. Continue with "Completing the server setup without using a management console" on page 23.
Cabling the server to the Hardware Management Console
The Hardware Management Console (HMC) controls managed systems, including the management of
logical partitions and the use of capacity on demand. Using service applications, the HMC communicates
with managed systems to detect, consolidate, and forward information to IBM service for analysis.
If you have not already done so, install and configure your HMC. For instructions, see Installation and
configuration scenarios (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/topic/p7hail/
basichmcinstallationandconfigurationtaskflow.htm).
To manage processor-based servers, the HMC must be at Version 7 Release 7.7.0, or later. To view the
HMC version and release, complete the following steps:
1. In the navigation area, click Updates.
2. In the work area, view and record the information that appears in the HMC Code Level section,
including the HMC version, release, maintenance level, build level, and base versions.
To cable the server to the HMC, complete the following steps:
1. If you want to directly attach your HMC to the managed system, connect Ethernet Connector 1 on
the HMC to the HMC1 port on the managed system, as shown in Figure 19 on page 17.
