Remote Supervisor Adapters; Identifying The Remote Supervisor Adapter - IBM 88701RX User Manual

Remote Supervisor Adapters

This section describes how to identify the Remote Supervisor Adapter by its
features and prerequisites for setup. It also explains how to cable and configure a
Remote Supervisor Adapter or Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA for use on an
Advanced System Management (ASM) network so that you can manage the server
from a remote location. For more detailed information, see the appropriate Remote
Supervisor Adapter User's Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

Identifying the Remote Supervisor Adapter

Your server comes with either a Remote Supervisor Adapter or a Remote
Supervisor Adapter II-EXA installed. Before you can configure and use your Remote
Supervisor Adapter, you must identify which Remote Supervisor Adapter is installed.
The easiest way to identify the Remote Supervisor Adapter installed in your server
is visually.
