Removing HMC connection data
Display and remove disconnected HMC data.
By default, HMC connection data expires on the managed system after 14 days of disconnection from the HMC. If you want to perform a task that requires all HMCs to be disconnected from the managed system, you can remove the HMC connection data prior to the 14-day period.
To disconnect an HMC, your authority level must be an authorized service provider.
To disconnect an HMC, do the following steps:
On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log In.
In the navigation area, expand System Configuration.
Select Hardware Management Consoles.
Select the desired HMC.
Click Remove connection.

I have removed the HMC still nothing appears on the display or any power in the keyboard or mouse when I power on through ASMI.
Any other way to check the Console configuration ?

Update: After Service Processor Reset
Can't access ASMI login page although I can ping HMC port 1 and HMC port 2
So,
1. Removed HMC connection through ASMI
Rebooted the machine, console did not appear
2. Reset the Service Processor through ASMI
Rebooted the machine, console did not appear, neither can access ASMI ( although can ping it )
3. Since I can't access ASMI now , I thought of resetting the through PIN HOLE METHOD. Inserted PIN and hold for 5 seconds , till i saw on the panel dots moving.
Reset the system using the pin-hole button on the front-panel (with no network cables connected).
Still no resolution
4. Did a hard reset :
The Flexible Service Processor {FSP} is built into the System Backplane on a model 550. You can remove the Power Supplies very easily and there is a very very small inconspicuous switch that is covered with a opaque brownish plastic the trick is to carefully peel back the plastic and expose the toggle/rocker switch if you don't do this you will not be able to see clearly and will run the risk of breaking the switch and that is not a good option when attempting to toggle it's position. I have seen it done . This method is free but takes a small amount of effort but faily easy.
Once the switch is toggled to the opposite position on the box everything will be reset to factory settings.
After this reset the IP for ASMI have been resetted to default. But still can't access ASMI through browser.
any solutions ?
