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.
Notes:
1. For the IBM System p5 or eServer p5 servers, 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:
