The machine has two ways to IPL:
1. The traditional LOAD function -- Choose channel-attached device or a remote 
SCSI LUN.  Uses  traditional IPL I/O architecture.
2. Load from Removable Media or Server (LRMS) --  Choose from media-provided 
pick list.  Selected program is loaded into memory and a SYSTEM RESTART is 
performed.

You only use the LOAD FROM REMOVABLE MEDIA OR SERVER (LRMS) function for 
installation,and that's the only time the integrated 3270 is required.   It is 
z/VM that requires the integrated 3270.  As After that, you LOAD the LPAR in 
the traditional manner.

Please note that when using LRMS with an FTP server that the server must be on 
the HMC-SE LAN segment.  That is, the SEs are the machines doing the FTP and 
the SE must be able to reach the FTP server.  Because the HMC will not perform 
routing, the suggested configuration is for your fave FTP server to have an 
interface on it with a VPN into the LAN segment used by the HMC & SEs.
