See the following section and the User's Guide for more information. Cabling the server To share one monitor, keyboard, and pointing device (such as a mouse) among multiple servers, connect the servers using Cable Chain Technology (C2T). In addition, you can create an Advanced System Management (ASM) interconnect network of connected servers by installing one or more Remote Supervisor Adapters. The following sections describe how to cable a C2T chain and an ASM interconnect network. Cabling a C2T chain Use C2T interconnect cables to connect the servers into a chain. The following illustration shows a C2T interconnect cable. 28 IBM xSeries 335 Type 8676: Option Installation Guide
