Installing the monitor and keyboard

Learn how to install the monitor and keyboard, which are shipped with the 7042-CR6 HMC, into a rack. This is a customer task.

If an HMC is used to manage a POWER7® processor-based system, the HMC must be at CR3, or later, it must be a rack-mounted HMC model. The IBM eserver 7316-TF3 is a 17 inch, flat-panel, and rack-mounted monitor and keyboard tray. A special keyboard, that is available for a variety of languages, fits inside the front of the keyboard tray. The monitor and keyboard tray occupy 1 Electronics Industries Association (EIA) unit 1 of space in a rack cabinet. You can install a console switch behind the tray to attach more than one server to the flat panel monitor and keyboard.

To install the 7042-CR6 HMC into a rack, complete the following steps:

1. Complete a parts inventory. For instruction, see Completing a parts inventory.
2. Locate the rack-mounting hardware kit and the system rail assemblies that were included with your system unit.
