Ethernet port, which provides system management functions over the LAN.
Advanced Systems Management (ASM) RS-485 interconnect port to facilitate
advanced systems management connections to other servers.
For detailed instructions on cabling ASM interconnect networks, refer to the
redbook Implementing Systems Management Solutions using IBM Director,
SG24-6188.
Note
: The x450 does not include the necessary dongle to connect the
Remote Supervisor Adapter to an ASM interconnect bus using the RS-485
port on the adapter. Consequently, you will need the Advanced System
Management Interconnect Cable Kit (part number 03K9309) for connection to
an ASM interconnect network.
3.2.2 Remote Expansion Enclosure
The RXE-100 can be connected to the x450 to provide an additional six or 12
PCI-X slots to the server. Only one RXE-100 can be connected to the x450,
although this can be with either one or two data cables.
The RXE-100 has six 133 MHz 64-bit PCI-X slots as standard and can accept
adapters with speeds ranging from 33 MHz to 133 MHz. With the optional six-slot
expansion kit (part number 31P5998) installed, the RXE-100 has 12 slots. Each
set of six adapter slots is divided into three buses of two slots each, as shown in
Figure 3-6 on page 52.
Note:
As described in “Connecting the RXE-100” on page 53, when
connecting the RXE-100 to an x450 configuration using only one cable, the
RXE-100 can have six or 12 PCI-X slots.
