Installing a Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine

An optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine can be installed only in a

dedicated slot on the system board. See “System-board option connectors” on page

is installed, the system-management Ethernet port on the rear of the server is

active.

Note: Earlier versions of the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine might not work

in this server. See http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ for

the supported Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine.
