AIX Install on 9111-520
I have a 9111-520 (p5 520) that I inherited, on which I want to install AIX 5.3 or possibly 6.1.

I've installed AIX many times, on a variety of platforms, but this one isn't working for me. What I can't seem to figure out is how to set it up to boot the CD. I'm assuming there is something I have to do with the front panel - I just installed i5/OS on a similar box, and there's a dance that you have to do with the front panel on those in order to install. I used this page: IBM Systems Information Center but it sort of glossed over the install process.

I have a dumb terminal hooked to it, but I don't get any usable output; just a few random characters when it first starts, then nothing. It doesn't have a video card in it.

Also: does anyone know if a reference for manipulating the machine via the front panel?
