POWER7 information
Depending on your configuration, there are many different adapters you can use.
If your system is managed by a Hardware Management Console (HMC), use the HMC to designate hardware resources.
Operations Console (LAN) supports the following adapters: 5706 (PCI-x) or PCIe adapters; 5260, 5707, 5767, 5768 , 5899, and the Host Ethernet Adapter.
The PCI Express (PCIe) slots can be filled with the 5767, 5768, 5260 (PCIe2 LP 4-port 1GbE Adapter) or 5899 (PCIe2 4-port 1GbE Adapter). The Peripheral Component Interconnect-X (PCI-X) slots can be filled with the 5706 or 5707 adapters.
The following table contains console-supporting adapter locations when the system is not managed by an HMC.

These systems do not support a remote control panel that is directly attached to the server. However, you can use the virtual control panel connected over LAN for most control panel functions.
