RSA II-EXA breakout cable connections: The RSA II-EXA breakout cable is used to provide the following connections:

vASM Interconnect port

To connect the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA to an ASM interconnect network, connect a Category 3 or Category 5 cable to one of the ASM Interconnect ports on the RSA II-EXA breakout cable. For more information, see “Using the ASM interconnect network” on page 63.

vUSB connector

To connect the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA to the USB port on the server for providing remote keyboard, video, and mouse control of the server, plug the USB connector on the RSA II-EXA breakout cable into a USB port on the server.

vManagement ports

To connect the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA to a modem, connect the modem to a management port connector on the RSA II-EXA breakout cable.

Note: Connecting a modem to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA provides dial-out support only.
