If you are connecting an RXE-100 enclosure, go to "16-way configuration" on page 138. If you are not connecting an RXE-100 enclosure, connect all remaining external cables to the server; then, go to "Creating a scalable partition" on page 141 and follow the instructions for creating a scalable partition. RXE Expansion and Management Port cabling The server has two RXE Expansion Ports located on the rear of the server. Use these ports to connect the server to a remote I/O enclosure and to expand the number of PCI-X slots that are available for use by the server. The server has one RXE Management Port located on the back of the server. Use this port to connect the server to the management port of an optional remote I/O enclosure. This port is used to manage the PCI-X slots in a remote I/O enclosure, including slot assignments and managing access. For detailed information about how the server and remote I/O enclosure work together, see the documentation that comes with the remote I/O enclosure.
