Procedure
1. If you want to directly attach your HMC to the managed system, connect Ethernet Connector 1 on
the HMC to the HMC1 port on the managed system. See Figure 12.
Figure 12. Attaching the HMC to the managed system
2. To learn how to connect an HMC to a private network so that it can manage more than one managed
system, see HMC network connections(http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/
p9hai/p9hai_netconhmc.htm).
Notes:
v You can also have multiple systems that are attached to a switch that is then connected to the
HMC. For instructions, see HMC network connections(http://www.ibm.com/support/
knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9hai/p9hai_netconhmc.htm).
v If you are using a switch, ensure that the speed in the switch is set to Autodetection. If the server
is directly attached to the HMC, ensure the Ethernet adapter speed on the HMC is set to
Autodetection. For information about how to set media speeds, see Setting the media
speed(http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9hai/
p9hai_lanmediaspeed_enh.htm).
3. If you are connecting a second HMC to your managed server, connect it to the Ethernet port that is
labeled HMC2 on the managed server.
4. Continue with "Cabling the server and connecting expansion units" on page 18.
Cabling the server and accessing Operations Console:
You can use Operations Console to manage a server that is running the IBM i operating system whether
you have logical partitions or not. However, you must first use a different console to create the logical
partitions.
