v To enable remote server management using a modem, use a Remote Supervisor Adapter II serial connector on the breakout cable that you connect to the ASM connector. v To enable remote server management through a serial interface from a client workstation using a terminal-emulation program or from a hardware terminal server, connect the breakout cable to the ASM connector and make the following connections: - Use a null modem cable to connect your server serial connector to the serial connector labeled COM1 on the breakout cable. - Use a null modem cable to connect the serial connector labeled COM2 on the breakout cable to a terminal server or client serial connector. v To connect the server with another server, use the ASM interconnect connector. See the Remote Supervisor Adapter II documentation on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for more information. Ethernet connector The following illustration shows an Ethernet connector. 8 1 Connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable to this connector. The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Fast Ethernet standards require Category 5 or higher cabling. For more information about the Ethernet controller, see the User's Guide. Universal Serial Bus connector Use a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector to connect a USB device. USB technology transfers data at up to 12 Mb per second (Mbps) with a maximum of 127 devices and a maximum signal distance of 5 meters (16 ft) per segment. Using Plug and Play technology, USB devices are configured automatically. The following illustration shows a USB connector. 12 34 Use a 4-pin cable to connect a device to a USB connector. If you need to connect more USB devices than the server has USB connectors for, use a USB hub to connect additional devices. If you connect a PS/2 (non-USB) keyboard to the keyboard connector, USB ports and devices are disabled during POST. If you connect a USB keyboard that has a mouse port, the keyboard emulates a mouse, and you cannot disable the mouse settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Chapter 4.

v
To enable remote server management through a serial interface from a client
workstation using a terminal-emulation program or from a hardware terminal
server, connect the breakout cable to the ASM connector and make the following
connections:
–
Use a null modem cable to connect your server serial connector to the serial
connector labeled COM1 on the breakout cable.
–
Use a null modem cable to connect the serial connector labeled COM2 on the
breakout cable to a terminal server or client serial connector.
v
To connect the server with another server, use the ASM interconnect connector.
See the Remote Supervisor Adapter II documentation on the IBM
