Install
and
Configure
an
8-Port
Asynchronous
Adapter
To
install
and
configure
an
8-port
asynchronous
adapter,
refer
to
the
IBM
Hardware
Management
Console
for
pSeries
Installation
and
Operations
Guide
.
To
connect
the
cables
from
the
processor
subsystem
to
the
8-port
asynchronous
adapter,
use
the
following
procedure.
Connect
the
Processor
Subsystem
to
the
8-Port
Asynchronous
Adapter
At
least
one
8-port
asynchronous
adapter
is
required.
Up
to
two
8-port
asynchronous
adapters
can
be
installed.
The
D-shell
connector
on
the
rear
of
the
adapter
attaches
to
the
8-port
expansion
cable.
The
cable
is
approximately
0.9
m
(3
ft.),
and
on
the
other
end,
has
a
slim
box
(21.6
cm
(8-1/2
in.)
x
7.6
cm
(3
in.)
x
3.8
cm
(1-1/2
in.))
with
8
separate
serial
port
connectors
on
it.
The
cable
is
labeled
ISA
8-Port
Cable
.
Serial
cables
can
be
connected
from
any
of
the
ports
on
the
8-port
expansion
cable
to
the
HMC
ports
on
the
managed
systems.
If
you
are
using
a
second,
redundant
HMC,
connect
cables
from
all
of
the
processor
subsystem’s
HMC1
ports
to
the
8-port
cable
on
one
HMC,
and
connect
all
the
processor
subsystem’s
HMC2
ports
to
the
8-port
cable
on
the
other
HMC.

Processor
Subsystem
Cabling
The
following
illustration
shows
cabling
for
both
the
8-port
asynchronous
adapter
and
128-port
asynchronous
adapter
to
the
HMC
and
the
processor
subsystems.
The
top
portion
of
the
illustration
shows
the
8-port
adapter
and
the
RS422
cable
to
support
up
to
four
system
frames.
For
smaller
system
configurations,
the
8-port
asynchronous
adapter
can
be
used
for
RS232
connections.
The
bottom
portion
of
the
illustration
shows
the
128-port
adapter
and
the
RS232
cables
to
support
up
to
64
processor
subsystems.
