Cabling and configuring the Remote Supervisor Adapter Complete the following steps 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. Step 1. Connect the Ethernet and management port cables.

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 55. Step 3. Configure the remote-control password to enable the ASM Web interface remote control features. See "Configuring the remote control password" on page 63. Step 4. Install the ASM device drivers. See "Installing Advanced System Management device drivers" on page 61.
