Note: Confirm that the system is in standby mode. The green power status indicator on the front
control panel is flashing, and the dc out indicator lights on the power supplies are flashing. If
none of the indicators are flashing, check the power cord connections.
3. Wait for the green light on the control panel to start flashing.
4. Ensure that your ASCII terminal is set to the following general attributes.
These attributes are the default settings for the diagnostic programs. Be sure that your terminal is set
according to these attributes before proceeding to the next step.

Cabling the server to the HMC
The Hardware Management Console (HMC) controls managed systems, including the management of
logical partitions, the creation of a virtual environment, and the use of capacity on demand. Using service
applications, the HMC can also communicate with managed systems to detect, consolidate, and forward
information to IBM service for analysis.
Before you begin
If you have not installed and configured your HMC, do so now. For instructions, see Installation and
configuration tasks (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9hai/
p9hai_taskflow.htm).
To manage POWER9 processor-based systems, the HMC must be at version 9 release 9.2.0, or later. To
view the HMC version and release, complete the following steps:
1. In the navigation area, click Updates.
2. In the work area, view and record the information that appears in the HMC Code Level section,
including the HMC version, release, Service Pack, build level, and base versions.
To cable the server to the HMC, complete the following steps:
