Indeed, you do plug the console terminal into the connector labeled "Console
terminal" on the CIM :-).

The other 5 cards you should have are the M7094, M7095, M7096, M7097,
and M7098.

If you turn on the 11/44 without backplane continuity, you'll likely get
a "CP didn't start". With all those empty slots, you don't have backplane
continuity!
