for
any
updated
PC
requirements.
2.
If
your
PC
has
power
management
capabilities,
it
can
turn
the
PC
off.
The
PC
might
reset
the
communications
port
when
power
management
is
started,
which
can
end
any
connections
already
established.
Certain
types
of
power
management
on
the
PC
and
in
the
operating
system
might
cause
system
reference
code
(SRC)
0000DDDD
to
appear
in
the
System
i
control
panel
or
remote
control
panel.
This
SRC
data
should
be
cleared
when
PC
activity
resumes.
Important:
IBM
System
i5
and
eServer
i5
models
start
counting
logical
partitions
with
the
number
1
(even
if
it
is
the
only
partition)
instead
of
a
0.
iSeries
270
and
8xx
models
start
counting
logical
partitions
with
the
number
0.
For
the
console
to
connect
properly,
your
logical
partitions
must
also
begin
numbering
at
1
instead
of
0.
This
is
especially
true
if
you
rely
on
the
BOOTP
process
to
configure
the
system
with
its
network
data.
If
you
want
to
use
an
Operations
Console
local
console
on
a
network
(LAN),
you
need
to
install
the
LAN
adapter
for
Operations
Console
according
to
your
model.
IBM
supports
a
local
console
on
a
network
(LAN)
only
on
models
270
and
8xx.
Table
2
shows
the
supported
cards
for
LAN
connectivity.
Table
3
shows
the
correct
location
for
the
LAN
card.
Note:
Supported
cards
and
locations
are
only
for
nonpartitioned
systems
or
primary
partitions.
For
logical
partitions
in
an
LPAR
environment,
any
Operations
Console-supported
adapter
can
be
used.
Important:
In
case
an
emergency
arises
where
your
LAN
connection
fails,
you
need
to
configure
an
Operations
Console
local
console
directly
attached
to
the
system.
For
instructions,
see
the
Planning
considerations
for
your
backup
console
topic.
Table
3
shows
the
correct
location
for
the
directly
cabled
console.
