Cabling rules:
1.

Connect the ASM breakout cable to the RSA adapter in the RSAII-host.

2.

Using a standard ethernet cable(RJ45), connect one ASM port of RSAII-host's ASM breakout cable to an
ASM port of the first ASM-node.

3.

Using standard ethernet cables(RJ45), connect remaining ASM port of first ASM-node to an ASM port of
the second ASM-node and continue daisy-chaining all remaining ASM-nodes in the same manner. The
total ASM interconnect network may be no longer than 91.4m (300ft).

4.

Using a standard ethernet cable(RJ45), connect the ethernet port of the RSAII-host's RSA adapter to the
customer LAN for ASM management of the ASM network from a remote management console.

5.

An Advanced System Management Interconnect Cable Kit may be required. See the Support by Server
Table for more information.

Note:

RSAII-SlimLine and BMC management do not support a dedicated ASM network.
