Operations Console-PIP1

This procedure will help isolate an Operations Console failure.
This PIP works with cable-connected configurations only. It is not valid for
network or dial connected configurations.
The following symptoms can be caused by iSeries 400 Operations Console failing
to connect:
v One of the following SRCs
– A6xx 5001 or B6xx 5001
– A6xx 5004 or B6xx 5004
– A6xx 5007 or B6xx 5007
– A6xx 5008 or B6xx 5008
v The status in the iSeries 400 Operations Console window remains "Connecting
console".
Note: Determine if the system has logical partitions. Go to "Determining if the
System Has Logical Partitions" on page 943 before continuing with this
procedure. If the system has logical partitions, perform this procedure from
the logical partition that reported the problem.
1. Ensure that the 2745 IOA is installed into position C02.
Note: If a 2771 is located anywhere within the CEC (or on the IOP of a
secondary partition designated for console support), it will be found
and used for Operations Console.
2. Ensure the Operations Console cable, P/N 97H7557, is connected to the left
connector on the adapter card. Push in the cable connector and tighten the
thumbscrews.
3. Verify the other end of the Operations Console cable is connected to the
system unit console (PC) serial port. Push in the cable connector and tighten
the thumbscrews. Note: If the PC has a 9-pin connector, you need to use the 9
to 25 pin adapter, part number 46G0298, that was shipped with the system.
