Cabling the server and accessing Operations Console
You can use Operations Console to manage a server that is running the IBM i operating system whether
you have logical partitions or not. However, you must first use an alternative tool to create the logical
partitions.
Operations Console is a component of IBM i Access for Windows. You can install the complete product or
select only the two console components, which are the Operations Console support and the 5250
emulator support.
To prepare to cable the server and access the Operations Console, complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that your server is powered off.
2. Obtain a static IP address that will be assigned to the server's LAN console adapter for use by the
console, including information about the IP, subnet mask, and default gateway.
3. Select a unique host name and register the host name and the IP address in your site's Domain Name
System (DNS).
Note:
This IP address is for use by Operations Console and different from the IP address that is used
to connect a normal Telnet session. The IP address must not be in use by another server. Ping the IP
address to verify that no other device is using the IP address.
To learn more about setting up Operations Console, complete the following steps:
1. Install IBM i Access for Windows and the latest service pack.
Note: The list of Microsoft Windows operating systems supported for Operations Console LAN is
documented at the following Web address: IBM i Access (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/

2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the PC or notebook to the Ethernet port labeled HMC1 on the back of
the managed system. If HMC1 is occupied, connect an Ethernet cable from the PC or notebook to the
Ethernet port labeled HMC2 on the rear of the managed system.
Note: Make the initial connection with the PC directly cabled to the server. The PC and server can be
recabled to the network after the initial connection is made. A cross-over cable is not needed.
