<li>If your PC has power management capabilities, it could turn the PC off.
The PC may reset the communications port when power management is started,
which would end any connections already established. Certain types of power
management on the PC and in the operating system may cause system reference
code (SRC) <samp class="codeph">0000DDDD</samp> to appear in the iSeries control panel or remote control
panel. This SRC data should clear when PC activity resumes.</li>

to your iSeries model. IBM<sup>®</sup> supports
a local console on a network (LAN) only on Models 270 and 8xx. Table 2 shows
the supported cards for LAN connectivity. Table 3 shows the correct location
for the LAN card. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Supported cards and locations are only for non-partitioned
