Route the power cords through the rings or clamps, if available, on the
back of the server, and connect to the server, monitor, and HMC. Do not
connect the power cords to a power source until you are
instructed to do so.
Important: If there is a voltage switch next to the power connector on
the monitor, ensure that it is in the appropriate position for the voltage
used in your geography.
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.
A Hardware Management Console (HMC) is a system that connects to the server and manages it
through a network.
If you are using a rack-mounted HMC, these steps assume 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 12
f you are not using an HMC to manage your server, you can use the Integrated Virtualization
Manager (IVM), a graphics terminal, or an ASCII terminal. If you plan to use IVM, which
allows you to create and manage partitions, skip to task 11
. For information about the other console options, go to
the IBM Systems Hardware Information Center. For details about how to access the
information center, see task 12 .

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 server.
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.
CAUTION: This product is equipped with a 3-wire (two conductors and a
ground) power cable and plug. Use this power cable with a properly
grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock. (C018)
Route the cables through the cable-management arm on the server, and secure
the cables with the straps provided.
If you are not using a modem, skip to step 10.6.
If using an external modem, plug the power cord into the modem.
Plug the power cords for the monitor, HMC, and external modem into a power
source. Do not connect the server to a power source until instructed to do so.
You have completed the basic setup. Go to task 12 Finish your system setup.
Start and configure the HMC, which includes the Guided Setup Wizard. You can
find the instructions for configuring the HMC in the IBM Systems Hardware
Information Center. For details about how to access the information center, see
task 12 Finish your system setup.

Connect one end of a serial cable to the system port on your server, and the other
end to a serial port on 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 server. If HMC1 is occupied, use the port labeled HMC2.
If you are using any optional adapters, connect the cables to the appropriate
adapter connectors in the PCI slots of your server and PC.
