Configuring the adapter:
This section describes the following:
• Enabling remote access to the Remote Supervisor Adapter
• Installing 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 serial
port. From Table 2, choose the interface method that you want to use to perform
remote management; then, perform the indicated configuration procedure.
Note: For detailed information about using the ASM Web interface and the text-
based user interface, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide on the
IBM Documentation CD.
