The configuration and use of the Remote Supervisor Adapter is discussed in
Chapter 5, “Management” on page 175.
Figure 3-13 Remote Supervisor Adapter connectors
The following RSA connections need to be considered when cabling the x455
(see Figure 3-13):
External power supply connector. This connector allows the RSA to be
connected to its own independent power source. This external power supply
is not included with the x455 and will need to be ordered as an option (order a
ThinkPad® 56W or 72W AC Adapter with a suitable power cord for your
country/region).
If this power supply is not used, the RSA will draw power from the server as
long as the server is connected to a functioning power source.
9-pin serial port, which supports systems management functions through null
modem or modem connections. This port is dedicated and can only be used
for RSA purposes.
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
IBM Redbook Implementing Systems Management Solutions using IBM
Director, SG24-6188.
Note: The x455 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.
