Power on
After power is applied to pSeries, front lights are down for 1-2 minutes.
Then, the green light starts flashing, and in 2-3 minutes it gets fixed.

IPL
To boot an OpenPower, p5, i5, or pSeries system from a CD-ROM,
you must specify the install boot device in the System Management Services (SMS) menu.
To enter the System Management Services GUI,
press the [1] key during the boot process when you hear the chime sound.
This brings up a graphical interface similar to
Once in the SMS menu, we see "pSeries Firmware" :
1 - select Language
2 - ? options
3 - view error log
4 - setup remote IPL
5 - SCSI settings
6 - select console
7 - select Boot options -> Select Install or Boot a Device (CD/DVD is IDE !)

if you see

it means you missed the time to push [1] key !
