2. Check the Ethernet LEDs to ensure that the network connection is working. The following illustration shows the location of the LEDs. External power Error LED ASM interconnect connector (amber) port Ethernet activity LED (green) Ethernet link LED (green) Power LED (green) Management port 10/100 Ethernet port Figure 21. Remote Supervisor Adapter connectors v External power connector: You can connect an optional ac power adapter to this connector. v Error LED: This amber LED is lit when a system management error has occurred. v ASM interconnect port: Connect signal cables for managing expansion module resources to this port. v Ethernet activity LED: When the LED is green there is activity on the Ethernet LAN. v Ethernet link LED: When the LED is green the link is active. v 10/100 Ethernet port: Connect Ethernet signal cables to the Ethernet port. v Management port: Connect a serial cable to this port to enable system management through a modem, or connect a null modem cable to enable system management through a workstation or laptop computer. v Power LED: This green LED comes on and stays lit when you plug in your server. If you want to use the management port connection, continue with "Cabling the management (COM) port" on page 55; 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 on page 56, select the interface method that you want to use to perform remote management; then, perform the indicated configuration procedure. Chapter 2. Configuring the server 55

Check
the
Ethernet
LEDs
to
ensure
that
the
network
connection
is
working.
The
following
illustration
shows
the
location
of
the
LEDs.
v
External
power
connector:
You
can
connect
an
optional
ac
power
adapter
to
this
connector.
v
Error
LED:
This
amber
LED
is
lit
when
a
system
management
error
has
occurred.
v
ASM
interconnect
port:
Connect
signal
cables
for
managing
expansion
module
resources
to
this
port.
v
Ethernet
activity
LED:
When
the
LED
is
green
there
is
activity
on
the
Ethernet
LAN.
v
Ethernet
link
LED:
When
the
LED
is
green
the
link
is
active.
v
10/100
Ethernet
port:
Connect
Ethernet
signal
cables
to
the
Ethernet
port.
v
Management
port:
Connect
a
serial
cable
to
this
port
to
enable
system
management
through
a
modem,
or
connect
a
null
modem
cable
to
enable
system
management
through
a
workstation
or
laptop
computer.
v
Power
LED:
This
green
LED
comes
on
and
stays
lit
when
you
plug
in
your
server.
If
you
want
to
use
the
management
port
connection,
continue
with
“Cabling
the
management
(COM)
port”
on
page
55;
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
on
page
56,
select
the
interface
method
that
you
want
to
use
to
perform
remote
management;
then,
perform
