The hard disks are factory initialized with a specific
number of sectors...
they are scsi, and you cannot use normal scsi disks there.
Yap. See here for details (and further reading).
https://try-as400.pocnet.net/wiki/Ordinary_Harddisks_on_the_AS/400
the only way to initialize them for an as/400 is with
an ibm tool that has never been released.
Do you have experience with this? Because, you certainly can format a disk in the ?BIOS?
(Dedicated Service Tools) of a machine. And I suppose that doing this is doing the right
thing.
and yes, you can otherwise use the small panel on the
front to ipl it up, and shut it down
I know no safe way to initiate a proper shutdown from the panel. Do you have more
information on that?
You can add more twinax terminals ( the cables are
included ), or connect to
a twinax card in a pc ( isa/pci , depends what you find ) and ibm client
access... or client access on lan.
In any case you need that ( or a ) twinax terminal (emulator card works) for
maintenance/admin duties
I guess it?s included, eventhough not mentioned in the text. And I fully agree, Console is
important to have.
