Connect a CAT 3 or CAT 5 Ethernet cable to this port to enable a LAN
connection or TELNET session. The Ethernet port LEDs on the Remote
Supervisor Adapter are described in "Cabling the Ethernet LAN port" on
page 67.
Connect a serial cable to this port to enable system management through a
modem, or connect a null modem cable to enable system management
through a workstation or laptop computer.
Attach an ASM Interconnect module (which comes with the Remote
Supervisor Adapter) to this port to connect the Remote Supervisor Adapter
to the other devices on the ASM Interconnect network.
The green power LED indicates the status of the power connection. The
amber Error LED indicates an error on the Remote Supervisor Adapter.
Connect the power-supply adapter (comes with the Remote Supervisor
Adapter) to this connector. This connection provides power to the Remote
Supervisor Adapter, independent of the server power supply.
This provides backup of the Remote Supervisor Adapter real-time clock,
event log, and configuration settings.
Use the 20-pin ribbon cable to connect between this port and the server
system board.
