Cabling and configuring the Remote Supervisor Adapter
Complete the following tasks to cable and configure the Remote Supervisor
Adapter.
Note: After you initially configure the adapter, use the Web-based interface to
create a backup copy of the configuration. If you need to replace the adapter
in the future, this enables you to restore the configuration and resume
normal operation more quickly. See the Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s
Guide for the
Eserver
xSeries 440, on the IBM Documentation CD for
details.
Task 1. Connect the Ethernet and serial port cables. See “Cabling the
Ethernet LAN port and serial port.”
Task 2. Perform the initial configuration to enable remote access to the
Remote Supervisor Adapter. See “Enabling remote access to the
adapter” on page 34. This enables you to:
1. Configure the Ethernet port
2. Configure the serial (COM) port
3. Set up the point-to-point protocol
Task 3. Configure the remote control password to enable the ASM Web
interface remote control features. See “Configuring the remote
control password” on page 40.
Task 4. Install the ASM device drivers. See “Installing Advanced System
Management device drivers” on page 39.
Cabling the Ethernet LAN port and serial port
This section describes how to cable the Remote Supervisor Adapter. You can
manage the server remotely through the Remote Supervisor Adapter using one of
the user interfaces and one of the connection methods that are described in
Table 2. Choose the interface method you want to use to perform remote
management; then, perform the indicated cabling procedure.
If you plan to set up an ASM interconnect network, before you begin cabling the
server, see “Using the ASM interconnect network” on page 41 for instructions about
cabling the ASM interconnect port and setting up the network. You might want to
review the information in “ASM interconnect network configuration examples” on
page 45 before you connect the cables. Then, return here to start the cabling
procedures.
