IBM 44T1412 Remote Supervisor Adapter II
This slimline card provides remote management for compatible IBM servers using a USB cabling interface and the Telnet protocol. It adds accelerated graphics capabilities for console redirection and is designed for administrators who need out-of-band access to hardware.
Suits admins needing Telnet remote access via USB
Buyers who require SSH encryption or IPMI support should look elsewhere, as the adapter uses Telnet for its management protocol. It is also unsuitable for systems lacking the specific slimline slot or USB cabling infrastructure this card requires.
USB cabling type defines host connectivity
The card connects to the host system through a USB cabling interface, which dictates installation compatibility. Verify that your server supports this specific connection method before purchase, as other interface types will not work with this module.

Questions about this item
What server slot or connector must my system provide for the 44T1412 to install?
The card is a slimline form-factor module; it fits the dedicated Remote Supervisor Adapter slot found on supported IBM xSeries and System x servers.
Does the USB cabling on the 44T1412 let me keep using an older KVM switch that only has PS/2 ports?
The adapter’s cabling type is USB, so a PS/2-only KVM would need a USB-to-PS/2 converter or a KVM that accepts USB console connections.
After fitting the 44T1412, how can I confirm remote management is active?
Open a Telnet session to the adapter’s IP address; a login prompt from the Remote Supervisor Adapter II firmware shows the card is operating.
