Operations Console hardware requirements
For correct Operations Console configurations, verify that you have satisfied the server, adapter, cable, and PC requirements.
Important: Systems running the IBM® i operating system start counting
logical partitions with the number 1 (even if it is the only logical
partition) instead of a 0. For the console to connect correctly, your
client configuration must match the logical partition number. This
is important if you rely on the BOOTP process to configure the server
with its network data.
