Cable the HMC and the system unit
3
A Hardware Management Console (HMC) is a system that connects to the workstation and
manages it through a network.
If you are not using an HMC to manage your workstation, you can use either the Integrated
Virtualization Manager or the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI).To use the
Integrated Virtualization Manager, follow the setup instructions in the IBM Systems
Hardware Information Center. For details about how to access the information center, see
task 5 Finish your system setup.To use the ASMI, go to task 4 Cable the system unit and
access the ASMI.
If you are using a rack-mounted HMC, these steps assume that it is already installed in the rack.
If you need to install the HMC into the rack, follow the instructions in the IBM Systems Hardware
Information Center, and return to this guide when you are ready to begin cabling your HMC. For details
about how to access the information center, see task 5 Finish your system setup.
If you are using any optional adapters, connect the cables to the appropriate
adapter connectors in the PCI slots of your system unit and HMC.
3.1
Route the power cords through the rings or clamps, if available, on the
back of the workstation, and connect to the system unit, monitor, and
3.2
HMC. Do not connect the power cords to a power source until
instructed to do so.
Important: Ensure that if there is a voltage switch next to the power
connector on the monitor, it is in the appropriate position for the voltage
used in your geography.
Connect the mouse and keyboard cables to the appropriate ports on the
3.3
3.4
back of the HMC. If your mouse and keyboard use Universal Serial Bus
(USB) cables, you can connect these to the ports on the front of the
HMC.
Attach the monitor cable to the monitor connector on the HMC
and tighten the screws.
Tip: If you are using the rack-mounted LCD monitor and
keyboard (7316-TF3), use the C2T-to-KVM adapter breakout
cable to attach to the HMC.

If you are not using a modem, skip to step 3.6.
3.5
3.6
If you are using the integrated HMC modem, connect the telephone cable to
the modem and to the analog jack on the wall. If you are using an external
modem, connect the modem data cable to the external modem and to a serial
port on the HMC. Then connect the telephone cable to the external modem
and to the analog jack on the wall.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the HMC and to the
Ethernet port labeled HMC1 on the system unit.
For a stand-alone HMC, use the integrated Ethernet port. For the 7310-CR2 rack-
mounted HMC, use the bottom-right Ethernet port. For the 7310-CR3 rack-
mounted HMC, use the left port of the two planar board Ethernet ports.
If using an external modem, plug the power cord into the modem.
3.7
CAUTION:This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable and plug
for the user's safety. Use this power cable with a properly grounded
electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock.
Plug the power cords for the monitor, HMC, and external modem into a power
source. Do not connect the system unit to a power source until instructed to do so.
3.8
3.9
Start and configure the HMC, which includes the Guided Setup Wizard. You can
find the instructions for configuring the HMC in the Hardware Information Center.
For details about how to access the information center, see task 5 Finish your
system setup.
Connect the system unit to a power source and wait for the control panel on
the front of the server to display 01. This might take several minutes.
3.10
3.11
Press the white Power On button on the control panel.
You have completed the basic setup. Go to task 5 Finish your system setup.

Cable the system unit and access the ASMI
4
The ASMI is an interface to the service processor that is required in order to perform general and
administrator-level service tasks, such as reading service processor error logs, reading vital product
data, setting up the service processor, and controlling the system power.
This task assumes that you are using a PC to access the ASMI through a Web browser. If you are using
an ASCII terminal, see the instructions in the IBM Systems Hardware Information Center. For details
about how to access the information center, see task 5 Finish your system setup.
CAUTION:This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable and plug
for the user's safety. Use this power cable with a properly grounded
electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock.
Route the power cords through the rings or clamps, if available, on the back of the
workstation, and connect the system unit to a power source. Wait for the control
panel on the front of the server to display 01.

4.3
(R)
Using a PC that has Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape 7.1, or Opera 7.23
installed, connect an Ethernet cable from the PC to the port labeled HMC1 on the
back of the system unit. If HMC1 is occupied, use the port labeled HMC2.
Configure the Ethernet interface on the PC to an IP address and subnet mask
within the same subnet as the system unit.
Note: If you do not know how to do this, see the instructions in the IBM Systems
Hardware Information Center. For details about how to access the information
center, see task 5 Finish your system setup.
Possible values:
Server connector
HMC1
Subnet mask
255.255.255.0
255.255.255.0
IP address
192.168.2.147
192.168.3.147
HMC2
For example, if you connected your PC or mobile computer to HMC1, the IP
address for your PC or mobile computer might be 192.168.2.1 and the subnet mask
would be 255.255.255.0. Set the gateway IP address to the same IP address as that
of the PC or mobile computer.
