hmmm,....

Usually I get by with my trusted old IBM 3113 Terminal and a serial cable.

Have you read the "Installation Guide" or the "Servcie Guide" at the IBM site?

Installation Guide:

Service Guide:
http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en\_US/infocenter/base/hardware_docs/pdf/380599.pdf

And there is a Redbook covering the p610: "p610 Technical Introduction and Overview":

I Hope this helps.
