OpenPower 720 Technical Overview and Introduction
Netbay LCM Switch (FC 4202). When connecting to a OpenPower 720, FC 4269 provides
connection to the POWER5 USB ports. Only the PS/2 keyboard is supported when attaching
the 7316-TF3 to the LCM Switch.
The following should be considered when selecting the LCM Switch:
򐂰 The KCO cable (FC 4268) is used with systems with PS/2 style keyboard, display, and
mouse ports
򐂰 The USB cable (FC 4269) is used with systems with USB keyboard or mouse ports.
򐂰 The switch offers four ports for server connections. Each port in the switch can connect a
maximum of 16 systems
– One KCO cable (FC 4268) or USB cable (FC 4269) is required for every four systems
supported on the switch
– A maximum of 16 KCO cables or USB cables per port may be used with the Netbay
LCM Switch (FC 4202) to connect up to 64 servers
Hardware Management Console 7310 Model CR3
The 7310 Model CR3 Hardware Management Console (HMC) is a 1U, 19-inch
rack-mountable drawer supported in the 7014 Model T00 and T42 racks. The 7310 Model
CR3 provides one serial port, two integrated Ethernet ports, and two additional PCI slots. The
HMC 7310 Model CR2 has USB ports to connect USB keyboard and mouse devices.
1.5.6 OEM rack
The OpenPower 720 can be installed in a suitable OEM rack, provided that the rack conforms
to the EIA-310-D standard. This standard is published by the Electrical Industries Alliance,
and a summary of this standard is available in the publication Site and Hardware Planning
Information, SA38-0508.
The key points mentioned in this standard are as follows:
򐂰
Any rack used must be capable of supporting 15.9 kg (35 pounds) per EIA unit
(44.5 mm [1.75 inches] of rack height).
򐂰 To ensure proper rail alignment, the rack must have mounting flanges that are at least
494 mm (19.45 inches) across the width of the rack and 719 mm (28.3 inches) between
the front and rear rack flanges.
򐂰 It might be necessary to supply additional hardware, such as fasteners, for use in some
manufacturer’s racks.
Note: A server microcode update may be required on installed systems for boot-time SMS
menu support of the USB keyboards. The update may also be required for the LCM switch
on the 7316-TF3 console (FC 4202). Microcode updates are located at the URL below.

We recommend that you have the 7316-TF3 installed between EIA 20 to 25 of the rack for
ease of use. The 7316-TF3 or any other graphics monitor requires a POWER GXT135P
graphics accelerator (FC 2849) to be installed in the server, or other graphic accelerator, if
supported.
Note: The HMC serial ports can be used for external modem attachment if the Service
Agent call-home function is implemented, and the Ethernet ports are used to communicate
to the service processor in OpenPower 720 systems. An Ethernet cable (FC 7801 or 7802)
is required to attach the HMC to the OpenPower 720 system it controls.
