6 Connecting a System Console
This section describes how to connect a primary system console to the installed server
and dedicated service LAN by using Ethernet cables and an Ethernet switch or
Ethernet hub.
The connection instructions in this section work for both OSM and TSM software. For
additional connectivity options to increase performance (reduce response time) for the
OSM Service Connection, see the OSM Migration Guide.
Because these steps involve communication between the primary system console and
the master service processors (MSPs) in the server, you must complete these steps
before you power on and start the system.

provider in the Modular I/O Installation and Configuration Guide.
