2227. Servers with standard ASMP and two integrated RS-485 ASMinterconnect ports on the rear of the server chassis, into which anRSA is installedKey Features:Adding an RSA to a server containing an ASMP enables the ASMP to access the additionalcommunication methods available on RSA hardware. The ASMP retains full control of thesystem management role, with the RSA acting as a gateway between system managementand Ethernet.2Requires purchase of optional Remote Supervisor Adapter (P/N 09N7585).xSeries 330 (except 8654 models)Servers:Instructions:1. Connect the RSA in a compatible PCI slot on the planar.2. Connect 20-pin ribbon cable between system planar and RSA.3. Plug the pigtail adapter into the RS-485 port of the RSA.4. Attach one end of the 1ft Cat5 cable (included with the RSA option) to one of the RS-485ports of the pigtail cable.5. Attach the other end of the included 1ft Cat5 cable to one of the RS-485 ports built into thechassis.6. Plug one ASM interconnect cable into the available RS-485 port of the pigtail cable.7. If interconnection to a second ASM interconnect node is required, plug a secondinterconnect cable into the available integrated RS-485 port at the rear of the chassis.Otherwise, the second RS-485 port should be terminated using the suppliedRS-485 terminator.746531To system planar8. Server with ASMP and no standard RS-485 portsKey Features:Enables basic ASM functionality for certain legacy systems.Requires purchase of ASM Interconnect Cable Kit (P/N 03K9309).Servers:xSeries 230, 240, 340Instructions:311. Connect interconnect knockout cable to the ASMP connector on the system planar.2. Create knockout space on rear of system chassis.3. Fix knockout fitting into place.4. Plug single pigtail cable into knockout cable port.5. Attach customer-supplied Cat5 cables (for connection to one or two other ASMinterconnect nodes) to the RS-485 ports of the pigtail adapter. Unused RS-485 ports must beterminated with the supplied RS-485 terminator.542
