The other three connectors connect to the monitor, keyboard, and pointing device. You can share one monitor, keyboard, and pointing device (such as a mouse) among up to 42 servers using C2T interconnect cables. You can connect up to 23 servers together to create an Advanced System Management (ASM) interconnect network (ASM bus). The bus requires that at least one of the servers has an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter installed. You can create additional ASM buses, each consisting of up to 23 servers if at least one server in each bus has an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter installed. For more details about connecting the server to a C2T chain, creating an Advanced System Management (ASM) interconnect network, and sharing a monitor, keyboard, and pointing device between multiple servers, see the section about cabling the server in the Option Installation Guide.
