The following sections describe these connectors.
If you have an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter (system-management adapter)
installed in PCI-X slot 1, the adapter has an Ethernet connector, a serial connector,
and an Advanced System Management (ASM) Interconnect connector. See the
documentation that comes with the Remote Supervisor Adapter for more information
about the ASM Interconnect network.
C2T connectors
Use the C2T (IN) and C2T (OUT) connectors to connect the server to other servers
in an ASM interconnect network or C2T chain. See “Cabling the server” on page 28
for information about ASM interconnect networks and C2T chaining.
C2T breakout cable connectors
These connectors are on the C2T breakout cable, which you use to connect a
monitor, keyboard, and pointing device to a server in a C2T chain. See “Cabling the
server” on page 28 for information about C2T chaining.
