Connecting the ASM Interconnect module to the xSeries 445: The ASM
Interconnect module connects the Remote Supervisor Adapter to the ASM
interconnect network. This module must be purchased separately. To connect the
ASM interconnect module to the Remote Supervisor Adapter, complete the following
steps.
Attention: To avoid damage to the Ethernet connector, do not plug the ASM
interconnect module 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 on the edge of the Remote Supervisor Adapter that is accessible
from the rear of the server and is labeled RS485.
