xSeries 232	yes

xSeries 240	yes

xSeries 330	The ASM interconnect module is required to link
	the Remote Supervisor Adapter to the
	microprocessor in the server. Use the RS-485
	ports to create the ASM interconnect network.

xSeries 342	yes

xSeries 350	no

xSeries 360	yes

xSeries 440	yes

xSeries 445	yes (Not required for models that come with a
	Remote Supervisor II-EXA installed)

For the servers that do not need an ASM Interconnect module, a module is still needed to connect the Remote Supervisor Adapter in the gateway server to the integrated ASM processor. After you make that connection, you can connect the servers together using their ASM interconnect ports. For additional information, see “ASM interconnect network configuration examples” on page 68.

Connecting the ASM Interconnect module to the xSeries 445: The ASM Interconnect module connects the Remote Supervisor Adapter to the ASM interconnect network. This module must be purchased separately. To connect the ASM interconnect module to the Remote Supervisor Adapter, complete the following steps.

Attention: To avoid damage to the Ethernet connector, do not plug the ASM interconnect module into the Remote Supervisor Adapter Ethernet port.

1.Connect the ASM Interconnect module 1 to the Remote Supervisor Adapter ASM interconnect (peer-to-peer) port 2 as shown in the following illustration. This port is on the edge of the Remote Supervisor Adapter that is accessible from the rear of the server and is labeled RS485.
