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
(http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/
pseries/en_US/infocenter/base/hardware_docs/pdf/380516.pdf)
for a description of cables and adapters that
might be installed on your workstation.
Note: If the cable did not come with your workstation, you will have to supply it.
Attaching devices using the system ports
__ 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 are connecting it to an uninterruptible power supply,
refer to 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 in a PCI slot.
2. The attachment of high availability cluster multiprocessing IBM (HACMP) cables to the system ports on the back
of the server is not supported.
Connecting the power cords
__ Power cords should be routed through the retention rings or under the retention brackets that are provided to
prevent the power cords from becoming unplugged unexpectedly.
__ If your workstation is equipped with a retention ring, route the power cord through the ring before you
plug it into the back of the workstation. See the following figure as an example:
