Twinax in the CEC was an option on our 520 that we got 2 or so years ago - I guess it's not anymore, as you indicate. But all I remember is, my boss wanted twinax and I talked him out of it, going with Ops Console - don't remember what Techline said about it, so I might be off the trolley here, too. ;-)

No - the model 520 can't have a Twinax Card placed in it's CEC (no IOP
support in CEC).

So you need to place the Twinax Card plus IOP in a Expansion Unit.
However, you can't configure the System to use the Twinax Card in the
Expansion Unit as a console without having a HMC.

As such, using a Twinax console is 100% pointless on the new machines
- but not impossible. That was my point.
