As previously stated, when the rack mounted 1U Servers for the SEs and HMCs were introduced, at that time, the physical hardware used was the same for both.
The internal USB attached Smart Card reader for each SE was installed with a smart card as a default for use by firmware for FoD (feature on demand) and Flash Express - this was not for customer use and hence not accessible.

But it is documented is *Support Element* Service Guide. HMC Service Guide shows no SmartCard reader inside. So, it looks like wrong hardware taken for HMC. The PC is configured for SE purposes, not HMC purposes. Note, the differences are really minor and do not harm any feature or operations. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 18.08.2022 o 12:54, Radoslaw Skorupka pisze: > OK, I found it.
