v If your system has four power supplies, plug E1 and E2 to PDU A and E3 and E4 to PDU
B
.
Note: Confirm that the system is in standby mode. The green power status indicator on the
front control panel is flashing, and the dc out indicator lights on the power supplies are
flashing. If none of the indicators are flashing, check the power cord connections.
3. Wait for the green light on the control panel to start flashing.
4. Ensure that your ASCII terminal is set to the following general attributes.
These attributes are the default settings for the diagnostic programs. Be sure that your terminal is set
according to these attributes before proceeding to the next step.

Description
Line speed 19,200 19,200 19,200 Uses the 19,200 (bits per second) line
speed to communicate with the system
unit.
Word length (bits) 8 8 8 Selects 8 bits as a data word length
(byte).
Parity No No No Does not add a parity bit and is used
together with the word length attribute
to form the 8–bit data word (byte).
Stop bit 1 1 1 Places a bit after a data word (byte).
5. Press a key on the ASCII terminal to allow the service processor to confirm the presence of the ASCII
terminal.
6. When the login display appears for the ASMI, enter admin for the user ID and password.
7. Change the default password when you are prompted.
8. Press Enter until the server information appears. You have completed the setup for an ASCII terminal,
and have started the ASMI.
9. Continue with “Completing the server setup without using an HMC” on page 20.
Cabling the server to the HMC:
The Hardware Management Console (HMC) controls managed systems, including the management of
logical partitions, the creation of a virtual environment, and the use of capacity on demand. Using service
applications, the HMC can also communicate with managed systems to detect, consolidate, and forward
information to IBM service for analysis.
If you have not installed and configured your HMC, do so now. For instructions, see Installation and
configuration scenarios (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8hai/
basichmcinstallationandconfigurationtaskflow.htm).
To manage POWER8 processor-based servers, the HMC must be at version 8 release 8.4.0 or later. To
view the HMC version and release, complete the following steps:
1. In the navigation area, click Updates.
2. In the work area, view and record the information that appears in the HMC Code Level section,
including the HMC version, release, Service Pack, build level, and base versions.
To cable the server to the HMC, complete the following steps:
1. If you want to directly attach your HMC to the managed system, connect Ethernet Connector 1 on
the HMC to the HMC1 port on the managed system. See Figure 17 on page 14.
