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, you can restore the configuration and resume normal operation more quickly. See the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter User's Guide, on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for details. Task 1. Connect the Ethernet and management port cables. See "Cabling the Ethernet LAN port and management port." Task 2. Perform the initial configuration to enable remote access to the Remote Supervisor Adapter. So that you can: v Configure the Ethernet port v Configure the management (COM) port v Set up the point-to-point protocol See "Enabling remote access to the adapter" on page 48. Task 3. Configure the remote-control password to enable the ASM Web interface remote control features. See "Configuring the remote control password" on page 55. Task 4. Install the ASM device drivers. See "Installing Advanced System Management device drivers" on page 53. For service, assistance, or additional information on the World Wide Web, see Appendix A, "Getting help and technical assistance," on page 299. Cabling the Ethernet LAN port and management 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. Select 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 56 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 42 before you connect the cables. Then, return to these instructions to start the cabling procedures. Table 2.
