The HMC1 port is for the ASMI, and not for the Operations console. Since we
don't know which type of 520 it is (Power 5 or Power 6) can't tell you which
port. If POWER5 use T5, if it's a Power6 use the bottom Ethernet of the four
Ethernet ports on the HEA.
I am concerned when I read your post that you said, "My BP Already installed
the OS". Well if that is the case, he/she had a console, so why aren't you
using that? You can't install the LIC and the OS without a console, unless
it came preloaded. If it came preloaded, then you are going to have to
allow this to find the console, and hope that the machine was ordered with
the correct console specified. If not, no worries, look up how to do a
65+21 and set the port.
I posted something on this last month, so it must be in the ML archives.

I'm installing a new 520. This is the first machine that I have installed
that didn't have a twinax console. The BP has already installed the OS,
so I think I just need to configure a console using Operations Console.
Am I correct that I just need to install Ops Console on any windows
machine?

I'm supposed to connect an ethernet cable to HMC1 and point my web browser
to
http://169.254.2.147. I have done so, but the web page just times out.
I see a note about waiting 2 - 5 minutes for the service processor to
reach standby, but I have been waiting much longer than that. Any
suggestions?

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
