Cabling the Ethernet LAN port and management port
This section describes how to cable the Remote Supervisor Adapter. You can
manage the server remotely through the Remote Supervisor Adapter using one of
the user interfaces and one of the connection methods that are described in
Table 2. Select the interface method you want to use to perform remote
management; then, perform the indicated cabling procedure.
If you plan to set up an ASM interconnect network, before you begin cabling the
server, see “Using the ASM interconnect network” on page 43 for instructions about
cabling the ASM interconnect port and setting up the network. You might want to
review the information in “ASM interconnect network configuration examples” on
page 48 before you connect the cables. Then, return to these instrucitons to start
the cabling procedures.
