v Power LED - This green LED goes on and stays on when you plug in the server. If you want to use the management port connection, continue with "Cabling the management (COM) port" on page 48; otherwise, go to "Configuring the adapter." Cabling the management (COM) port: To cable the management (COM) port, connect a modem or null modem cable to the management port on the Remote Supervisor Adapter. Continue with "Configuring the adapter." Configuring the adapter: This section describes how to enable remote access to the Remote Supervisor Adapter and install ASM device drivers. These procedures assume that you have an operational keyboard and pointing device attached to the server. Enabling remote access to the adapter: The Remote Supervisor Adapter requires configuration to enable remote access through either the Ethernet port or the management port. From Table 3, select the interface method that you want to use to perform remote management; then, perform the indicated configuration procedure. Note: For detailed information about using the ASM Web interface and the text-based user interface, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter User's Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD. Table 3. Configuration tasks to enable remote access to the Remote Supervisor Adapter User interface to Remote Connection to Remote Supervisor Adapter Supervisor Adapter For the configuration procedure, see: ASM Web interface using HTTP Text-based user interface using the Telnet protocol LAN using the Ethernet port "Configuring the Ethernet settings for Web-based remote access" Text-based user interface using a modem or a null modem ASM Web interface using point-to-point protocol (PPP) Management (COM) port "Configuring the management port for text-based remote access" on page 50 and "Setting up point-to-point protocol" on page 52 Text-based user interface using the Telnet protocol over PPP Configuring the Ethernet settings for Web-based remote access: If you have an accessible, active, and configured dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server on the network, the hostname, IP address, gateway address, subnet mask, and DNS server IP address are set automatically. You do not need to perform further configuration tasks to enable the Ethernet connection because the default value for the DHCP Setting field is Enabled. If you need to configure the management port, go to "Configuring the management port for text-based remote access" on page 50; otherwise, go to "Installing Advanced System Management device drivers" on page 53. 48 xSeries 445 Type 8870: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

LED
-
This
green
LED
goes

and
stays
on
when
you
plug
in
the
server.
If
you
want
to
use
the
management
port
connection,
continue
with
“Cabling
the
management
(COM)
port”
on
page
48;
otherwise,
go
to
“Configuring

Cabling
the

(COM)
port:
To
cable
the
management
(COM)
port,
connect
a

cable
to
the
management
port
on
the
Remote

Configuring
the
adapter:
This
section
describes
how
to
enable
remote
access
to
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
and
install
ASM
device
drivers.
These
procedures
assume
that
you
have
an
operational
keyboard
and
pointing
device
attached
to
the
server.
Enabling
remote
access
to
the
adapter:
The
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
requires
configuration
to
enable
remote
access
through
either
the
Ethernet
port
or
the
management
port.
From
Table
3,
select
the
interface
method
that
you
want
to
use
to
perform
remote
management;
then,
perform
the
indicated
configuration
procedure.
Note:
For
detailed
information
about
using
the
ASM
Web
interface
and
the
text-based
user
interface,
