Installing a Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine
Install an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine in the Remote Supervisor
Adapter II SlimLine connector on the system board. See the illustration in
“System-board optional-device connectors” on page 6 for the location of the
connector. After the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed, the
systems-management port on the rear of the server is active.
Because of mechanical interference, when the Remote Supervisor Adapter II
SlimLine is installed in the server, you cannot install an adapter in expansion slot 1.
Notes:
1. When you start the server for the first time after you install a Remote Supervisor
Adapter II SlimLine, the startup process will take several minutes longer than a
typical startup.
2. Earlier versions of the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine might not work in
this server. See http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ for
information about the supported Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine.

1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 7.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cord and
all external cables. Remove the cover.
3. Grasp the riser-card assembly at the rear edge and lift to remove it from the
server. Place the riser-card assembly on a flat, static-protective surface.
4. Put the protective plastic cover that came with the adapter on the Remote
Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine.
5. Turn the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine so that the keys on the
connector align correctly with the connector on the system board.
6. At a downward angle, insert the free end of the adapter under the tab on the
mounting bracket, aligning the holes in the adapter with the posts on the
mounting bracket. Rotate the rear of the adapter into the rear mounting bracket,
aligning the holes in the adapter with the posts on the rear mounting bracket.
