Cabling a 9111-285 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 workstation:
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.
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
