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 1 on page 29. Choose 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 38 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
42 before you connect the cables. Then, return here to start the cabling procedures.
