This could end up being a long thread. :-)

First does it say "HMC=" in the lower left of the display? If so it wants an HMC and you'll need to 'zap' the FSP. (Flip both switches)

Second, NO to the T1/T2 ports.

Third you're best off attempting LAN console on that machine. You can get instructions for that from the infocenter.

The B2013200 code says: "Load source? I can't find no stinkin load source!" So as you suspect the machine currently is almost certainly in need of a full reload.

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.
