Cabling a model 9111-520 to access the Advanced System
Management Interface (ASMI)
Learn how to access the ASMI, connect external cables and power cords, cable the expansion units, attach
devices, route the cables, and start your server after you install all of your hardware features or replace
parts.
To cable your server:
Before you begin
__ If you have hardware features that are not installed, install them now. For instructions, see Installing features
and replacing parts.
Accessing the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI)
__ If you plan to connect a PC (with a browser) to the server to access the ASMI, see Accessing the ASMI using a
Web browser for instructions.
__ If you plan to use the ASCII terminal to access the ASMI, see Accessing the ASMI using an ASCII terminal for
instructions.
Cabling the expansion units
__ Do you have an expansion unit?
v Yes. See Expansion units for instructions on the following tasks:
– Setting up an expansion unit
– Creating a new RIO/HSL or SPCN loop
– Adding a system or expansion unit into an existing RIO/HSL or SPCN loop
Note: Do not plug the expansion-unit power cord into the power outlet, as directed by the instructions in
Expansion units, until later in this checklist.
v No. Proceed to the next section, Connecting the external cables.
Connecting the external cables
__ If you are using any optional adapters (such as token ring or 8-port EIA-232), connect the cables to the
appropriate adapter connectors in the PCI slots of your machine.
See Adapters, Devices, and Cable Information for Multiple Bus Systems for a description of cables and adapters
that might be installed on your server.
Note: If the cable did not come with your server, you will have to supply it.
Attaching devices by using a system port
__ If you have an IBM System p5 or eServer p5 server and want to access the ASMI when the system is in standby,
attach an ASCII terminal to a system port on the back of the server. For views of the back of each server, see
References.
__ If you have an IBM System p5 or eServer p5 server and want to access the ASMI remotely when the system is in
standby, attach a modem to a system port on the back of the server. For views of the back of each server, see
References.
__ If you have an IBM System p5 or eServer p5 server and you are connecting it to an uninterruptible power
supply, see the documentation that is included with your uninterruptible power supply. You might need
additional hardware.
