Correct - with G1 or G2s the I/O controller isn't necessary. With a NPE-G1 or 2 the I/O controller needs to be removed otherwise its console ports are the ones used by default. "The console and auxiliary ports on the NPE-G1 are disabled by Cisco IOS when an I/O controller is present; the console and auxiliary ports on the I/O controller are active." [0] > correctly).
