Look at the section "To connect the Ethernet cable or Operations
Console serial cable" at: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/power6?topic=console-step-1-cabling-operations-your-server

Which says,

If you are using a LAN connection, attach an Ethernet cable from the
PC to the LAN, and another Ethernet cable from the LAN to the top
Ethernet port on the server (labeled T1).

Hmm. And if I'm not going through a switch or other hub, I probably need a crossover cable, right?
