Chapter 3. Configuring the server

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 42.
Connecting the ASM Interconnect module to the xSeries 360: The ASM
Interconnect module connects the Remote Supervisor Adapter to the ASM
interconnect network. This module comes with the server. 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.

This port is on the edge of the Remote Supervisor Adapter that is accessible from
the rear of the server and is labeled RS485.
