Netfinity IBM Service Processor Manager Installation =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I. Introduction II. Known Product Limitations III. Trademarks I. Introduction ================ These diskettes contain all the programs necessary to install the Netfinity Service Processor Manager service on systems running Netfinity Manager (for OS/2, Windows NT, or Windows 95), or Netfinity Services (for OS/2, Windows NT, Windows 95, or NetWare). Service Processor Manager enables you to take advantage of the many features of the IBM PC Server Advanced Systems Management Adapter. II. Known Product Limitations The following are known product limitations which are unlikely to be corrected in the future: Service Processor Manager A) When managing Advanced Systems Management Adapters with early firmware levels using the current Netfinity Manager release, multiple user ID/password combinations can be configured, but you may encounter difficulty connecting to the adapter using user profile entries other than entry number one. The Advanced Systems Management Adapter microcode should be updated to the latest level. B) A communication error may be encountered when updating the service processor's RAM firmware using the Service Processor Manager on Windows NT 4.x or Windows 95 at baud rates higher than 9600. Set the port baud rate to 9600 or less for the serial connection control entry used to connect to the Advanced Systems Management Adapter to avoid a communication error on Windows NT 4.x or Windows 95 when updating the firmware remotely. Using a null modem connection with a Windows 95 system A) When using a null modem connection with a Windows 95 system, you must first stop the connection before disconnecting the null modem cable. Otherwise, you may experience what appears to be a hang in the serial connection. This is due to the serial device driver in Windows 95. You must reboot the system to be able to reuse the serial capability. Power off delay A) Any time you reset the system power the Advanced Systems Management Adapter will reset the power off delay value in the Configuration Settings window. III.
