Cable everything, but don't plug in your System i just yet.System i.

Connect the first Network Port of the HMC to your management LAN.
Power on the HMC.
You'll be greeted with HMC v7 Setup Wizard. Configure the first
network Port as an open network, and the second network port as a
private port. For the exact TCP/IP configuration of the first network
port, you'll have to get this info from whoever deals with your
network stuff. For the second, private network, configure your HMC to
act as a DHCP server, and choose an unused IP range (check that with
your network guy).
After a few more clicks, setting up IBM connection, configuring login
credentials, timezones, etc. pp. You'll be on the main HMC menu.
Now plug the power into you System i. Wait a few minutes, and your
System i should appear automatically in the HMC. If it does not, let
the HMC Scan for a System - it should find it.
At that point, you might need to configure the console of the (only)
partition. Just enter the partition profile, and set the HMC as a
console. After that, start the server and then the partition. Done.
I'm not experienced with the HMC as other people on this list -
especially Rob Dekko knows alot about this stuff, maybe he has more
insights into this topic.
