Re: HMC Question

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Don,
 Exactly.   While there is a big difference between 'Powering on' and 
'Applying power' in this case it's the 'Applying Power' that causes the 
problem.  So i5 System Setup Rule #0   *DO NOT* connect power cords to 
the i5 CEC until your HMC is fully installed and ready.   And Rule #1:  
If at any time you are tempted to apply power to the i5 CEC see rule #0.

ps: Already in my COMMON LPAR pitch!!
