vi Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine and Remote Supervisor Adapter II: User’s Guide

Chapter 1. Introduction

This document explains how to use the functions of the IBM®Remote Supervisor

Adapter II SlimLine and the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II when they are

installed in an IBM server. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine and the

Remote Supervisor Adapter II provide the following functions:

vAround-the-clock remote access and system management of your server.

vRemote management independent of the status of the managed server

vRemote control of hardware and operating systems

vWeb-based management with standard Web browsers

Note: Throughout this document, the term Remote Supervisor Adapter II is used to

denote both the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine and the Remote

Supervisor Adapter II, unless otherwise noted.

If firmware and documentation updates are available, you can download them from

the IBM Web site. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II might have features that are

not described in the documentation that comes with the adapter, and the

documentation might be updated occasionally to include information about those

features, or technical updates might be available to provide additional information

that is not included in the adapter documentation. To check for updates, complete

the following steps.

Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. Procedures for locating

firmware and documentation might vary slightly from what is described in this

document.

1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.

2. Under Product support,click System x.

3. Under Popular links,click Software and device drivers for firmware updates,

or click Publications lookup for documentation updates.

Important:

vTo avoid system problems due to firmware differences, do not move aRemote

Supervisor Adapter II from one server type to another server type. For example,

do not move aRemote Supervisor Adapter II from an IBM System x3500 server

to an IBM System x3850 server.

vIf aRemote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed in an xSeries 366 server,

when you turn on the server for the first time after the adapter is installed, the

server might appear to be unresponsive for an unusual length of time (up to 10

minutes). If this happens, when the server completes POST, flash the BIOS and

baseboard management controller (BMC) firmware to the latest available levels.

Then, flash the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine firmware. For more

information, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/ and search for MIGR-59095.
