RE: System i5 first boot

Joe,

It's a replacement for a twinax console for those i5 machines that don't
have a LPAR thus don't need an HMC.

There's been some discussion on this list about them,
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200607/msg00516.html

Basically, a custom Neoware thin client box from IBM.

HTH,

Charles Wilt

Trevor, what's a "thin console"?  And how much do they cost?

Joe

From: Trevor Perry

I just installed two new 520s with thin consoles. I plugged 

them in and

turned them on. Not too difficult.

The most difficult part was setting the IP and system name 

parameters to

suit the customer requirements.

Ease-of-use = 10 out of 10. And I am not a sysadmin, either.
