Do you mean the CEC drawer vs. the I/O drawer?
Hell no! Those have entirely different functions (which should be quite
obvious).

He he, well, maybe you should learn a little more about it before you
start to play around with it?
After all, we're talking about a ~$50,000 piece of equipment here.

Well, for that error, check the correct cableing for the RIOs.
Otherwise, this will require a chenge of some failing parts. Refere to
the maintenance manual and get IBM support. How did u get this machine
anyway wihtout IBM support?

Nope, if it's preloaded, then there should be a null password for the
root user, i.e. just entering root should let you in without asking for
a password.
Does it ever ask for the root password?
If not, but just gives you the login prompt again something else is
wrong (probably a serial cable problem - do you use an IBM provided
console/serial cable?).
If you want to re-install, which I personally always do with a new
system anyway to get exactly what I want on the box, you need to enter
the firmware menu by pressing '1' on the console after the beep, select
'install from' and then the select CDROM drive. However, if you're not
familiar with AIX you might be better off with keeping the pre-installed
AIX. At least for starters.
Having said that, this box is CE setup which means that an IBM service
tech is supposed to go on-site and set up the hardware for you.
