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 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 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 are connecting your server to an uninterruptible power supply, see the documentation that is included
with your uninterruptible power supply. You might need additional hardware.
Notes:
1. Any other application that uses a system port requires a system port adapter to be installed into a PCI slot.
2. The attachment of high availability cluster multiprocessing IBM (HACMP) cables to a system port on the back of
the server is not supported.
Connecting the power cords
__ You should route the power cords through the retention rings or under the retention brackets that are provided
to prevent the power cords from becoming unplugged unexpectedly.
__ If your server is equipped with a retention ring, route the power cord through the ring before you plug it
into the back of the server, as shown here:
