5.1.4 Connecting via the ASM interconnect In addition to the Ethernet interface, the ASM interconnect is often used to manage the Remote Supervisor Adapter when you have other service processors in other xSeries servers. To connect the Remote Supervisor Adapter in the x450 to an ASM interconnect bus, you will need: Advanced System Management Interconnect Cable Kit, part 03L9309 Standard Cat5 Ethernet cable (not crossover) Follow the instructions that ship with the cable kit, or review the redbook Implementing Systems Management Solutions using IBM Director, SG24-6188. Once you have connected the x450 Remote Supervisor Adapter to other service processors including another Remote Supervisor Adapter, do the following: 1. From your Web browser, connect to the other Remote Supervisor Adapter (for example, one in an x440). 2. Select Access Remote ASM from the main menu (Figure 5-2 on page 121). 3. A list of the other service processors connected on the ASM interconnect bus will be displayed. Tip: It can take up to about a minute (the online help says 45 seconds) before a new service processor connected to the interconnect bus appears on this page. Figure 5-4 Connecting remotely to the Remote Supervisor Adapter in the x450 4. Next to the x450, (host name 450rsa in our example), click login. If you click the IP address in that row, it connects to the adapter via its Ethernet port. 124 IBM ^ xSeries 450 Planning and Installation Guide
