Follow the instructions for cabling a C2T chain. 2. Connect an ASM interconnect module (which comes with the Remote Supervisor Adapter) to the RS-485 connector on the Remote Supervisor Adapter in the first server. If the network contains more than 23 servers, do the same on the 24th server. 3. Connect an ASM link cable (which comes with the Remote Supervisor Adapter) from the ASM interconnect module to the ISM connector in the first computer. Insert a terminator into the second connector on the ASM interconnect module. If the network contains more than 23 servers, do the same on the 24th server. Updating the server configuration When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal option or an external SCSI device, you might see a message telling you that the configuration has changed. The Configuration/Setup Utility program automatically starts so that you can save the new configuration information. See "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 9 for more information. Some options have device drivers that you need to install. See the documentation that comes with the option for information about installing any required device drivers. 64 xSeries 335 Type 8676, Type 8830: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

Complete
the
following
steps
to
cable
an
ASM
interconnect
network:
1.
Follow
the
instructions
for
cabling
a
C2T
chain.
2.
Connect
an
ASM
interconnect
module
(which
comes
with
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter)
to
the
RS-485
connector
on
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
in
the
first
server.
If
the
network
contains
more
than
23
servers,
do
the
same
on
the
24th
server.
3.
Connect
an
ASM
link
cable
(which
comes
with
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter)
from
the
ASM
interconnect
module
to
the
ISM
connector
in
the
first
computer.
Insert
a
terminator
into
the
second
connector
on
the
ASM
interconnect
module.
If
the
network
contains
more
than
23
servers,
do
the
same
on
the
24th
server.
Updating
the
server
configuration
When
you
start
the
server
for
the
first
time
after
you
add
or
remove
an
internal
option
or
an
external
SCSI
device,
you
might
see
a
message
telling
you
that
the
configuration
has
changed.
The
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
automatically
starts
so
that
you
can
save
the
new
configuration
information.
See
“Using
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program”
on
page
9
for
more
information.
Some
options
have
device
drivers
that
you
need
to
install.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
option
for
information
about
installing
any
required
device
drivers.
