<h1 class="topictitle1">Console device</h1>
<div><p>Make sure that your console device is configured to support the
default code page of the primary language you are going to install. </p>
<p>If the console device supports the code page of the new primary language,
panels, messages, and online help will display properly after you change the
primary language. For example, you cannot have a 5555 configured as the console
device unless the primary language is a DBCS language.</p>
<p>You must change the console device to one that supports the code page of
the new primary language before doing the IPL that activates the new primary
language. Make sure that autoconfig is on before doing this IPL.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle"> Scenario: Console configured as a single-byte device</h4><p>Your
system has a primary language of English Uppercase DBCS (feature 2938). You
decide to change the primary language to Japanese DBCS (feature 2962).</p>
<p>The
existing console device on your system is configured as a single-byte-only
English device using a code page of 00037. While a single-byte English device
supports the installation of all other single-byte national language versions,
it does not support the installation of double-byte national language versions.
You must change the console device to one that supports the Japanese DBCS
code page before doing the activation IPL.</p>
<p>If you do not change the
console device to one that supports the Japanese DBCS code page, the IPL cannot
complete.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Scenario: Console configured with an F-type keyboard</h4><p>Assume
that your system has a primary language of English (feature 2924) and you
decide to change your primary language to Czech, Farsi, Hungarian, Russian,
Polish, Slovakian, or Thai. Also assume that your system console has an F
type keyboard (a relatively old keyboard type).</p>
<p>While F type keyboards
are supported for many national language versions, they are not supported
for Czech, Farsi, Hungarian, Russian, Polish, Slovakian, or Thai. You must
change the system console to a device that does not have an F type keyboard.</p>
<p>If
you do not change the console device and keyboard, an error results
because there is no keyboard mapping table supported for the F type keyboard
in your new primary language (Czech, Farsi, Hungarian, Russian, Polish, Slovakian,
or Thai). The IPL that occurs when changing the primary language cannot complete.</p>
