According to:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/powersys/v3r1m5/index.jsp?topic=/areci/areci_access_asmi_web.html

I'm supposed to connect an ethernet cable to HMC1 and point my web browser 
to http://169.254.2.147.  I have done so, but the web page just times out. 
I see a note about waiting 2 - 5 minutes for the service processor to 
reach standby, but I have been waiting much longer than that.  Any 
suggestions?

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
