• Internal ASM interconnect knockout cable, making the ASM connection on the
Netfinity 5000/5500 system board available externally through a knockout on
the server’s casing for use in the RS-485 network.
• ASM interconnect dual pigtail cable, connects both the ASM processor
integrated on the Netfinity 5000/5500 system board (via the knockout cable)
and the ASM PCI adapter (RJ-11 connector) into the ASM interconnect bus.
The cable has two RJ-45 sockets for connection to other servers on the ASM
interconnect bus.
• Dual port cable, for serial connectivity. This cable provides two 9-pin RS-232C
ports for modem connections dedicated to access the adapter for dialing in or
sending out alerts. One of the ports, labeled Modem, can be shared between
the adapter and the operating system and the other, labeled COM_AUX, is
available only to the adapter.
• External 56-watt AC adapter (ThinkPad-style) and power cord. This power
supply ensures the ASM PCI adapter has power even when the server does
not. We recommend you connect the AC adapter to a UPS for improved
availability. The AC adapter can also be ordered separately by ordering part
number 83H6739.
• Advanced System Management CD-ROM, for upgrading and configuring the
ASM devices.
• Netfinity Manager Version 5.20.4 CD-ROM includes updated designs for the
ASM PCI adapter and ASM processor.
The Netfinity 7000 M10 and 8500R have the ASM PCI adapter installed as
standard. Also included with the server is the dual-ported serial cable. The
interconnect cable and knockout cables are included in the interconnect cable kit
as explained in 2.6.1.4, “Interconnect cable option” on page 46. An AC adapter
can be purchased separately by ordering the ThinkPad 56W AC Adapter
(83H6739).
2.6.1.3 Token-ring option
The ASM PCI adapter has a 10/100 Ethernet port integrated on the card so that
the adapter can be directly connected to your LAN for remote access and alert
transmission.
If you use a token-ring network, you can purchase the Netfinity Advanced System
Management Token-Ring Connection, part 36L9654.
