IBM Power 770 and 780 (9117-MMD, 9179-MHD) Technical Overview and Introduction
The Ethernet ports of the Integrated Multifunction Card cannot be used for an IBM i
console. Separate Ethernet adapters that can be directly controlled by IBM i without
the Virtual I/O server should be used for IBM i LAN consoles if desired. Alternatively,
an HMC can also be used for an IBM i console.
The first CEC enclosure must contain one Integrated Multifunction Card (FC 1768 or
FC 1769). The Integrated Multifunction Card is optional for the second, third, or
fourth CEC enclosure.
Each Integrated Multifunction Card has four Ethernet ports, two USB ports, and one
serial port. Usage of the serial port by AIX or Linux is supported for MODEM call
home, TTY console, and snooping even if an HMC is attached to the server. Usage
by the serial port to communicate with a UPS is not supported.
The first and second CEC enclosures each have two HMC ports on the service
processor (FC EU09). If there are two CEC enclosures, the HMC must be
connected to both service processor cards.
