Hi *,

a few days ago there was a question about the feature code
of the HMC's 8-Port Async Adapter: it is FC 2943 (see also, e.g.,
redbook "The Complete Patitioning Guide for IBM eServer
pSeries Servers" at ibm.com/redbooks

Regards
Dieter

NB
The cable you need to connect the HMC with your pSeries via the
HMC's native serial port is FC 8120 (6m) or FC 8121 (15m)
The one you need to realize the connection via the async adapter
is FC 3151 (15m) - I never found that FC in pSeries manuals, but
a p/n 31L7196 which is referenced to FC 3151 in
www-900.ibm.com/cn/support/library/rs6000/download/spplanning.pdf
(!!!)
It is priced to approx. 400 Euros ... so try a "third party"
25female-1:1-9male
attachment cable (it works!).
Both, the above mentioned attachment cable and the FC8120/8121
(9female/9male) cable are wired 1:1, not crossover.
