xSeries 440:User’s Guide
Cabling for the ASM interconnect network:
Depending upon the servers
you have, you might need additional ASM Interconnect modules or Category 5 or
Category 3 Ethernet cables. The following table lists some IBM Netfinity and IBM
xSeries products, and indicates whether you need to use an ASM Interconnect
module to set up the ASM interconnect network.
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 440: The ASM Interconnect module connects the Remote Supervisor
Adapter to the ASM interconnect network. This module must be purchased separately.
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.
