A PCI 2D graphics adapter can be installed in any of the six PCI slots.
Some displays require an additional cable.
If you have an ASCII terminal, it is preferable to connect it to serial connector S1.
However, it can also be connected to serial connector S2 or S3.
Connect the graphics display cable to the back of the display and to the graphics adapter
connector. To locate installed adapters, consult the "About Your Machine" document.

Note: Do not use serial connector S1 to run HACMP or to attach a UPS. If you are configuring your system
to run HACMP with a UPS attached, you must connect the HACMP cable to serial port S2 and the UPS
cable to serial port S3. Do not run a UPS connected to serial port S2. If you decide to disconnect HACMP,
you must reset the service processor using the service processor pinhole reset switch before running
another application. The service processor pinhole reset switch is located on the operator panel. Step 16
shows the location of the service processor reset switch.
Cabling to the serial ports:
This system is equipped with two serial connectors identified as serial connector 1. One is located
at the front of the system (FS1) and the other (S1) is located at the rear of the system.
Use an RJ-48 to 9-pin converter cable to access the front serial connector FS1.
When using FS1, the rear serial connector (S1) is deactivated.
Use a 9-pin serial cable when you activate the rear serial connector S1. If you are attaching to a 25-pin
device, use a 9-pin to 25-pin serial converter cable. The converter cable is a customer-purchased option.
If you have a remote ASCII terminal, connect it through an external modem to serial connector S1.
Connect a local ASCII terminal to serial connector S2 or serial connector S3.
You can connect additional serial devices to the two remaining serial ports (S2 and S3), which are
located at the rear of the system.
Cabling to the parallel port:
If you have a parallel device, such as a printer, connect it to the parallel connector.

If you are using any optional adapters (such as token ring or 8-port EIA-232), connect the
cables to the appropriate adapter connectors in the PCI slots of your system. To locate
installed adapters, consult the "About Your Machine" document.
Connect the SCSI cable to the SCSI connector.
Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI device.
If this is the last device connected, connect the SCSI device terminator.
If this is not the last device connected, go to the step 11.
Note: The built-in SCSI interface is Ultra3 SCSI. When a cable is not attached
to the SCSI connector on the system, the SCSI bus is automatically terminated.
To set the SCSI device address, refer to the SCSI device documentation.

Are you using the
rack-indicator light feature?
12
The rack-indicator light feature signals when a drawer installed in a rack has a
failure or you have issued a locate signal. If you are unsure whether you are using
the rack-indicator light feature, ask your system administrator.
If you are not connecting a rack-indicator light to your system, go to step 13.
Connect one end of the supplied cable to the rack-indicator light feature. Connect the
other end of the cable to the rear RJ-48 connector located on the back of the Model 6C4.
Are you using an Ethernet connection?
13
If you are unsure whether you are using an Ethernet connection, ask your
system administrator. If you are not using Ethernet or you have already connected
your Ethernet to an adapter, go to step 14.
To connect the Ethernet cable, connect the twisted-pair cable to one of two RJ-45 connectors
located on the rear of the system drawer. For RJ-45 connector locations, see the following
illustration.
Note: The twisted-pair connector is compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
network 10/100 Base T link.

Connect the power cables to the receptacles
on the rear, and then connect the cables to
different power source outlets.
If your system is equipped with one power supply,
connect the power cable to the power receptacle.
A second power receptacle is present when a
second (redundant) power supply has been added
to the system drawer.
Note: If you are using dc to power your system,
you must have a dc power distribution source.

Note: This system could be equipped with two power
supplies, each requiring a separate power cable.
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.

Loosely wrap the hook-and-loop fastener strips around the external cables.
Note: To allow the cable to move, do not tightly wrap the hook-and-loop
fastener strip around the cables.
After you attach the cables to the cable management arm, go to the front
of the rack and move the system drawer in and out. Observe the
movement of the cable and cable management arm to verify that
the cable is not binding.

If an operating system has been preinstalled in your system, see the documentation
provided with your operating system.
If you plan to install the operating system now, see the installation instructions
provided with your operating system.
If you are installing an I/O drawer, follow the instructions that were provided with the I/O
drawer. When you have completed the I/O drawer installation, return to this booklet

Press the power-on button on the operator panel.
After you press the power-on button located on the operator panel,
observe the following:
1) The power LED begins to blink visibly faster.
2) The system cooling fans are activated and can be heard accelerating to
operating speed.
Note: There is approximately a 30-second transition period between the time that the
power-on button is pressed and the power LED remains on solid (no longer blinking).
3) The power LED stays on solid. Progress indicators, also referred to as checkpoints,
are visible on the operator panel display.
If you just completed installing, or are not going to install an I/O drawer, run system
verification. Go to “Step 19 “Run System Verification”.
If you are installing an I/O drawer, go to “Cabling the 7028 Model 6C4 to a 7311 Model D20
I/O Drawer”, located in the eServer pSeries 630 Model 6C4 and Model 6E4 Installation Guide,
order number SA38-0605.

18.2
After the required cables are installed and the power cables are connected, the HMC user interface
provides a power-on function to turn on the power to the system. The power-on button on the operator
panel can be pushed to initialize the system, but the preferred method is to use the HMC if you are starting
logical partitions. Progress indicators, also referred to as checkpoints, are visible on the operator panel
display as the system power is turned on. The power LED on the base system stops blinking and stays
on, indicating that the system power is on.
The base system and I/O subsystems are powered on through the system power control network
(SPCN). When power is applied, the power LEDs on the base system go from blinking to continuous,
and the power LEDs on the I/O subsystems come on and stay on. This situation indicates that power
levels are satisfactory in the subsystems.
