systems that are not managed by an HMC. Additional hardware support is not required because
the Thin Console connects to the server directly by using one of the HMC ports and is configured
in i5/OS as the HMC using all virtual resources. This console device is not supported on an
Ethernet network even if the server is already connected. A cable must connect this device
directly to the HMC port (either HMC1 or HMC2) on the server, and no other console device can
be attached to the remaining HMC port.
