Advanced System Management ports

There are two kinds of Advanced System Management ports: a Management port
(Serial port A), and RS-485 ports.
Management Port (Serial port A)
This port uses a standard D-shell serial-port connector, labeled A on the rear of the
server/workstation. You can attach a dedicated modem to the D-shell connector on
the rear of the server/workstation to communicate with the integrated Advanced
System Management Processor. For more information see "Serial port" on page 103.
RS-485 ports
The RS-485 ports on the rear of the server/workstation enable you to connect the
Advanced System Management Processors of several rack-mounted
server/workstations so that they can communicate with each other in half-duplex
mode.

Working with cables

The server has two different cabling options: the ASM bus and the Cable Chain
Technology (C2T). The following sections discuss each of these options. While
reading about these options, keep in mind that they are independent of each other.
