Re: AS/400 Ethernet configuration

[Carl Galgano <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not in the new world.  Besides, putting cards in a machine isn't exactly
rocket science.  As Neil alluded to, the hard part is knowing where to put
the card.  But there are plenty of resource to find out that info.  I have
seen many instances where the CE does not do the work.  Buy some new drives
for a model 400.  The CE may come in and install the physical drives in the
frame, but that is it.  It is up to the user to add them to the ASP or set
up either mirroring/RAID.  Buy used equipment and you are on your own even
more.
