This topic discusses HSL loop and SPCN network installation.
The Integrated xSeries® Adapter has connections for HSL, SPCN, and the xSeries service processor. The iSeries™ must be turned off before you cable up the Integrated xSeries Adapter installed in the xSeries. The i5 server can concurrently attach IXAs while the server is turned on.
HSL and SPCN configuration and connection are beyond the scope of this document, so refer to the following publications:

After the Integrated xSeries Adapter is installed, verify that it is operational by using the Work with Communications Resources command (WRKHDWRSC *CMN). Check to see that the 2689 resources are present and operational.
If you have multiple Integrated xSeries Adapters, use the same procedures as described in Verifying Integrated xSeries Server is operational to correlate a resource name (LINxx) with a physical Integrated xSeries Adapter. Note that the Frame ID can be determined by removing the lid of the xSeries and reading the number on the LED located on one side of the Integrated xSeries Adapter (The frame ID is no longer used on i5 servers.). The LED displays the Frame ID in decimal, which you need to compare with the Frame ID next to the LINxx resource and press Enter.
