Figure 21. Remote Supervisor Adapter connectors

vExternal power connector: You can connect an optional ac power adapter to this connector.

vError LED: This amber LED is lit when a system management error has occurred.

vASM interconnect port: Connect signal cables for managing expansion module resources to this port.

vEthernet activity LED: When the LED is green there is activity on the Ethernet LAN.

vEthernet link LED: When the LED is green the link is active.

v10/100 Ethernet port: Connect Ethernet signal cables to the Ethernet port.

vManagement port: Connect a serial cable to this port to enable system management through a modem, or connect a null modem cable to enable system management through a workstation or laptop computer.

vPower LED: This green LED comes on and stays lit when you plug in your server.

If you want to use the management port connection, continue with “Cabling the management (COM) port” on page 55; otherwise, go to “Configuring the adapter.”

Cabling the management (COM) port: To cable the management (COM) port, connect a modem or null modem cable to the management port on the Remote Supervisor Adapter.

Continue with Configuring the adapter.

Configuring the adapter: This section describes how to enable remote access to the Remote Supervisor Adapter and install ASM device drivers.

These procedures assume that you have an operational keyboard and pointing device attached to the server.

Enabling remote access to the adapter: The Remote Supervisor Adapter requires configuration to enable remote access through either the Ethernet port or the management port. From Table 3 on page 56, select the interface method that you want to use to perform remote management; then, perform the indicated configuration procedure.
