Setting up the Remote Supervisor Adapter

This section describes features, setup requirements, and how to cable and configure the Remote Supervisor Adapter for use on an Advanced System Management (ASM) network so that you can manage the server from a remote location.

Note: The information in this section is intended for use with the Remote Supervisor Adapter, not the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA. For information on setting up and configuring a Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA, go to “Setting up the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA” on page 40.

For more detailed information, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

vOptional, independent power, which enables around-the-clock access to the server, even if the server is powered off

Setup requirements

Before you set up the Remote Supervisor Adapter, you must download to a diskette, the DOS Remote Supervisor Utility program from http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

Complete the following before you set up the Remote Supervisor Adapter:

vInstall the operating system on the server, using ServerGuide and the documentation that comes with the operating system.

vInstall the agent component of UM Server Extensions to use the following Advanced System Management (ASM) Web interface features:

–Shutdown O/S and then Power Off Server

–Shutdown O/S and then Restart Server

UM Server Extensions is on the system-management software CD that comes with the server. For information about installing the agent component, see the documentation that comes with the system-management CD.
