For the servers that do not need an ASM Interconnect module, a module is still
needed to connect the Remote Supervisor Adapter in the gateway server to the
integrated ASM processor. After you make that connection, you can connect the
servers together using their ASM interconnect ports. For additional information, see
"ASM interconnect network configuration examples" on page 54.
Connecting the ASM Interconnect module to the xSeries 360: The ASM
Interconnect module connects the Remote Supervisor Adapter to the ASM
interconnect network. This module comes with the server. To connect the ASM
interconnect cable to the Remote Supervisor Adapter, complete the following steps.
Attention: To avoid damage to the Ethernet connector, do not plug the ASM
interconnect cable into the Remote Supervisor Adapter Ethernet port.
1. Connect the ASM Interconnect module 1 to the Remote Supervisor Adapter
ASM interconnect (peer-to-peer) port 2 as shown in the following illustration.
This port is labeled RS485 on the rear panel of the server.
2. Connect one or two Ethernet cables of the appropriate type (Category 5 is
recommended) to the other end of the ASM Interconnect module.
3. Continue with "ASM interconnect network configuration examples" on page 54.
