Cabling and configuring the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA Complete the following tasks to cable and configure the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA. 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, you can restore the configuration and resume normal operation more quickly. See the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II User's Guide, on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for details. Task 1. Cable the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA. Task 2. Get the Remote Supervisor Adapter software and firmware. Task 3. Complete the setup of the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA. For service, assistance, or additional information on the World Wide Web, see Appendix A, "Getting help and technical assistance," on page 299. The RSA II-EXA breakout cable: The ASM breakout cable connects the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA to the ASM interconnect network, the server USB port, and an external modem. ASM RS-485 connector USB connector Management connectors Figure 16. RSA II-EXA breakout cable RSA II-EXA breakout cable connections: The RSA II-EXA breakout cable is used to provide the following connections: v ASM Interconnect port To connect the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA to an ASM interconnect network, connect a Category 3 or Category 5 cable to one of the ASM Interconnect ports on the RSA II-EXA breakout cable. For more information, see "Using the ASM interconnect network" on page 56. v USB connector To connect the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA to the USB port on the server for providing remote keyboard, video, and mouse control of the server, plug the USB connector on the RSA II-EXA breakout cable in to a USB port on the server. v Management port To connect the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA to a modem, connect the modem to the management port connector on the RSA II-EXA breakout cable. Note: Connecting a modem to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA provides dial-out support only. Chapter 2. Configuration 35
