Cabling rules:
1. Connect the ASM breakout cable to the RSA adapter in the RSAII-host.
2. Using a standard ethernet cable(RJ45), connect one ASM port of RSAII-host's ASM breakout cable to an
ASM port of the first ASM-node.
3. Using standard ethernet cables(RJ45), connect remaining ASM port of first ASM-node to an ASM port of
the second ASM-node and continue daisy-chaining all remaining ASM-nodes in the same manner. The
total ASM interconnect network may be no longer than 91.4m (300ft).
4. Using a standard ethernet cable(RJ45), connect the ethernet port of the RSAII-host's RSA adapter to the
customer LAN for ASM management of the ASM network from a remote management console.
5. An Advanced System Management Interconnect Cable Kit may be required. See the Support by Server
Table for more information.
