Re: resurrection of a 520

 This could end up being a long thread.  :-)

First does it say "HMC=" in the lower left of the display? If so it 
wants an HMC and you'll need to 'zap' the FSP. (Flip both switches)

Second, NO to the T1/T2 ports.

Third you're best off attempting LAN console on that machine. You can 
get instructions for that from the infocenter.

The B2013200 code says: "Load source? I can't find no stinkin load 
source!" So as you suspect the machine currently is almost certainly in 
need of a full reload.

After I retrieved it from the holding area, I discovered someone had helped themselves to 4 of the 8 disk drives. Just to be on the safe side, I removed the tope and a few extra layers to check out the main board. Someone, again, had taken out 5 of the memory sticks and just laid them back inside. At that point, I figured it was a lost cause but figured I would at least try to see how far I could get it to IPL.

I do not have an HMC available to use on the system so I have to resort to attaching a PC to the system using a PC adapter cable that was still with the system. I remembered the way this system was accessed before was through a PC direct attached to the system but that is it.
