Attention:
To avoid damage to the Ethernet connector on the Remote Supervisor
Adapter, do not connect the ASM Interconnect module to the Ethernet port.
1. Connect one end of a Category 3 or Category 5 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
port on the Remote Supervisor Adapter. Connect the other end of the Ethernet
cable to the network.
2. Check the Ethernet LEDs to ensure that the network connection is working. The
following illustration shows the location of the LEDs.

If you want to use the management port connection, continue with "Cabling the
management (COM) port" on page 35; 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 36, select the interface method that
you want to use to perform remote management; then, perform the indicated
configuration procedure.
Note: For detailed information about using the ASM Web interface and the
text-based user interface, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter User's Guide
on the Documentation CD.
