2. Cable the PC to a server. Plug a Cat 5e or Cat 6 (recommended) Ethernet cable to the PC and into a
valid Ethernet adapter port. To determine the server adapter port that you must use, refer to the
following table:
Note: The T1 resource is required for console connectivity on any adapter. The T1 resource is either
the top or far-right port depending on how you are viewing the system.
Table 3. Server Operations Console LAN ports
Server Operations Console - LAN port
9009-41A C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11, C12
9009-42A and 9223-42H C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11, C12
Note: Make the initial connection with the PC that is directly cabled to the server. The PC and server
can be re-cabled to the network after the initial connection is made and a static IP address has been
assigned to the Operations Console port. A cross-over cable is not needed. For more information, see
Adapter requirements (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9hbx/
hardwarereq_adapter.htm)
3. Congure the PC network. To congure the PC network, complete the following steps:
a. Open Windows Control Panel and access the adapter settings. If you are using Windows 10, select
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter
Settings.
b. Disable any additional adapters other than the Local Area Connection.
c. Right click the adapter and select Properties.
d. Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and select Properties.
Note: If you are returning the device to the network after you set up the Operations Console, record
the IP information that is displayed.
e. Select Obtain an IP address automatically. This ensures that the PC receives an IP address in the
169.254.x.x range.
4. To disable the PC rewall, complete the following steps.
Note: All PC rewalls must be disabled for the initial connection.
a. In the Windows control panel, click Firewall settings and disable the rewall.
b. In the Windows control panel, click Security center. Check for a rewall and, if present, disable it.
c. Scan all tasks that are running on the PC for any other software rewalls and disable the rewall.
5. Power on the server by completing the following steps:
a. Set the manual initial program load (IPL) by completing the following steps:
1) Locate the server's control panel. Locate the blue tab on the front of the server. Push it to the
side, and pull the control panel out slowly.
2) Press the Up arrow key until you see 02, and press Enter.
3) Press Enter again. A < (less than symbol) appears next to N.
4) Press the Up Arrow key. The N changes to an M.
5) Press Enter.
6) Press Enter twice. A 02 is displayed on the control panel.
b. After you have the server set to a manual IPL, push the white power button to power on the server.
Note: During the IPL, the system displays C6004031 on the control panel, which indicates that the
system is searching for an Operations Console. The system might take 20 - 30 minutes to complete
this action. If A6005008 is displayed on the control panel, this means that no Operations Console is
available. This might indicate that the system is not preinstalled with IBM i and you must set the
console type to LAN.
