7. Connect the console by completing the following steps:
a.
Monitor the console status. After the status changes to
Pending Authorization
, the Service Tools
Sign-On window opens.
Note: The Service Tools Sign-On window might open behind the Operations Console window.
Resize or move the Operations Console window to locate the Service Tools Sign-On window.
b. Sign on to the Service Tools application. To sign on to the Service Tools application, enter 11111111
for the user ID and password.
c. IPL and configure the system.
d.
If your session does not connect, wait for the power-on process to stop on an attention or IPL
failure system reference code (SRC), such as A6005008 or B2xxxx. If the power on stops at
A6005008, leave the server in this state and call your IBM service provider for assistance.
Note: You should configure and start an IBM i TCP interface on a second port (T2, T3, T4) prior to
moving the console. This action ensures there is an alternate method to access the server.
Use the information in step 3b to reset the PC to its original TCP/IP settings.
Note: The PC IP configuration must be reset prior to cabling the PC back to the network, because the
PC is configured with the gateway IP address.
The PC and server console port (T1) can now be recabled to the network.
