<div><p>Make sure that you have an available communications port for your
|

Operations Console configuration. </p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><div class="p">For the configuration wizard to configure Operations Console successfully,
|
||
|
|
you need to verify that you have an available communications port. You will
|
||
|
|
need a connector for a communications interface such as a serial port. Operations
|
||
|
|
Console supports serial COM ports 1-9 and LPT port 1. One COM port is required
|
||
|
|
for system console support and one LPT port is required for remote control
|
||
|
|
panel support. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Operations Console does not use any embedded serial
|
||
|
|
ports located on the servers.</div>

</div>
|

<div class="section"><p>To check that you have an available communication port, check
|
||
|
|
the documentation for your PC or with the PC manufacturer to verify you have
|
||
|
|
the necessary communications port or ports. When you configure Operations
|
||
|
|
Console, the wizard will search for a port for the console. </p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The use of a Universal Serial Bus (USB) to serial port adapter
|
||
|
|
support has been added to Operations Console. The adapter will be placed
|
||
|
|
at the PC end of the console serial cable and connect to the PC's USB port.
|
||
|
|
When installing the USB adapter follow the manufacturer's instructions, the
|
||
|
|
operating system will assign a serial port to that adapter, COM 4, for example.
|
||
|
|
This adapter will be used exclusively for the console. As above, Operations
|
||
|
|
Console supports serial COM ports 1-9.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Any adapter should work but IBM<sup>®</sup> can
|
||
|
|
not guarantee every adapter to work correctly in every PC environment. Should
|
||
|
|
a failure occur, you can contact the manufacturer of the adapter, the manufacturer
|
||
|
|
of the PC, your hardware service provider, or you can try another adapter.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Restrictions on use</h4><p>The adapter must plug directly
|
||
|
|
into a USB connector on the PC. Neither the use of a USB hub to share connections
|
||
|
|
nor the use of USB extension cables is supported, however these devices may
|
||
|
|
function correctly in some situations.</p>
