Re: Installing a 520 for the first time

[Jack Kingsley <iseriesflorida@xxxxxxxxx>]

The current HMC is managing a power 5 box, the new power6 is in another
rack, thought the game plan would be to power up the power6 using lan
console then add a managed system via HMC.  Isn't the power6 box pre-shipped
with DST tagged for console type(3) lan console.  I can use port 2300 on the
current power 5 box.
