Chapter 1. Preparing to set up your 5065 or 5066
This chapter explains what you need to do before you install your 5065 or 5066
Expansion Unit. This includes the following tasks:
1. Unpack your expansion unit (refer to the instructions for unpacking that came
with your expansion unit).
2. Plan layouts for your cables.
3. Power down your system unit.
Before you begin the installation process, you should carefully plan where you will
install your new expansion unit. You should consider several factors that include
size, weight, security, and environmental factors. IBM provides detailed
information for AS/400 planning at the following web site:

You can find the AS/400 Site Preparation Guide and other relevant information by
selecting the Technical Studio under Hot Topics at this web site.
Hardware requirements
When you ordered your new expansion unit, the configurator took an inventory of
your system. The configurator then determined if you needed to add an optical
card or an SPCN card.
If you received these features in your new expansion unit package, contact IBM or
an Authorized Dealer to make arrangements to have them installed.
5065 Hardware Requirements
If you are installing your 5065 Expansion Unit directly to your system unit, you
need to have these prerequisites:
v An available system power control network (SPCN) connector.
v An available 2688 optical link processor (OLP) card (one OLP card can support
two expansion units).
If you are connecting your 5065 Expansion Unit to another expansion unit, your
expansion unit needs to have:
v An available SPCN connector.
v An available 2682 OLP card.
5066 Hardware Requirements
You need to have the following prerequisites to install your 5066 Expansion Unit:
v An available system power control network (SPCN) connector.
v An available 2688 optical link processor (OLP) card (one OLP card can support
both expansion units in your 5066).
