1.0  Overview
-------------

     This package contains support software for IBM Remote Supervisor 
     Adapter II (RSA II) hardware on xSeries servers.



2.0  Change History
-------------------

     2.1  IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II Windows Server Software 
          version 5.25 to 5.26
     
          Added support for future IBM xSeries eServers.


     2.2  IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II Windows Server Software 
          version 5.24 to 5.25
     
          Added support for future IBM xSeries eServers.


     2.3  IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II Windows Server Software 
          version 5.23 to 5.24
     
          Fixed the installation software to display the correct messages 
          when installing on systems with an incorrectly configured RSA II.


     2.4  IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II Windows Server Software 
          version 1.01 to 5.23
     
          Changed the README.TXT version number to match the internal version 
          of the system management device driver so that all verbal, written
          and software references that identify the driver version will be 
          consistent.


     2.5  IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II Windows Server Software 
          version 1.00 to 1.01
     
          Added support for future IBM xSeries eServers.
          

     2.6  IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II Windows Server Software 
          initial version. 

          NOTE:  The previous version of RSA2 Windows Server Software
                 was included in the IBM Advanced System Management 
                 Windows Device Driver Diskette version 2.23.  That 
                 package will no longer support for RSA II from version 
                 2.24 onward.  
       


3.0  RSA II support software installation and removal instructions 
--------------------------------------------------------------
     
     Before installing the RSA II software, make sure the mini USB cable is
     connected between the RSA II and a USB port on the xSeries server.  Also
     make sure the RSA II is configured for "Other OS".  If either of these
     steps are not performed then the RSA II software installation may fail.
     Refer to the RSA II Installation Guide and RSA II User's Guide for
     additional information. 
     
     To install RSA II software under Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003:

          * Execute the RSA II installation program.
          * Follow the directions that appear on the screen.
