Re: resurrection of a 520

I am trying to resurrect a power 5 9406 520. This system has been sitting
in the storage area for 3 years. 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.

To my surprise, it powered up to the initial state. I knew the chances of
a good IPL was slim and none, so I changed the panel codes to 01 D M,
installed the Base CD in the drive and pressed the power button. The system
came up part way and stopped with a SRC of B2013200.

I have no idea what IP addresses that are inside the system if any. 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.

Now for the questions:

Can I attach a PC using the T1 or T2 connection port in the back of the
system? What should the code be for that setup using the 65/21 option? What
IP address would I use to access the system?

If I attach a PC using the direct cable attachment to the system, what
should the code be for that setup using the 65/21 option?

I am trying to get to the point where I can finish loading the rest of the
operating system onto the remaining 4 disk drives.
If there is an option that I missed, please feel free to offer any
suggestion that would help.

Thanks I advance for your help.
