Do you have some internal disk in the CEC? If so, then you might have a chance, but you will be pretty limited with space unless you can add some SAN disk, or perhaps cable up a local SCSI array.

If the CEC has already been used it will remember what it was and perhaps partitions allocated, so you might need to find your way through the Service Processor menus to 'Reset to Factory Settings' or something like that to clear out any definitions of LPARs, devices, HMCs etc.

Don't leap into that though. I've never done it and it would be worth waiting for other opinions to ensure that you don't break something else by doing this. I suppose if you have a hardware support contract, they might be able to verify what the CEC is capable of and guide you through firing up for the 'first time' so you can install.

Another thing to try is to plug a laptop into the port marked HMC1. Set the laptop to be a DHCP server and then open a browser https session to the IP address allocated to the CEC (although I must admit I don't know how to determine this) This will hopefully bring up the ASMI page from where you can explore a bit too.

I must admit that I'm a bit sketchy, because it's not really the sort of thing one does very often, if ever.

I hope that this helps,
Robin

pnmtoddif

pnmtoddif(1)                                                  General Commands Manual                                                 pnmtoddif(1)

Name
       pnmtoddif - Convert a portable anymap to DDIF format

Syntax
       pnmtoddif pnmtoddif [-resolution x y] [pnmfile [ddiffile]]

OPTIONS

       resolution x y The horizontal and vertical resolution of the output image in dots per inch. Defaults to 78 dpi.

       pnmfile        The filename for the image file in pnm format.  If this argument is omitted, input is read from stdin.

       ddiffile       The filename for the image file to be created in DDIF format.  If this argument is omitted, the ddiffile is written to stan-
                      dard output. It can only specified if a pnmfile is also specified.

DESCRIPTION

       pnmtoddif takes a portable anymap from standard input and converts it into a DDIF image file on standard output or the specified DDIF file.

       pbm format (bitmap) data is written as 1 bit DDIF, pgm format data (greyscale) as 8 bit greyscale DDIF, and ppm format data is  written  as
       8,8,8 bit color DDIF. All DDIF image files are written as uncompressed. The data plane organization is interleaved by pixel.

       In  addition  to  the  number of pixels in the width and height dimension, DDIF images also carry information about the size that the image
       should have, that is, the physical space that a pixel occupies. PBMPLUS images do not carry this information, hence it has to be externally
       supplied.  The default of 78 dpi has the beneficial property of not causing a resize on most Digital Equipment Corporation color monitors.
