Verifying scalability and RXE cabling This section describes the procedure to verify scalability and RXE cabling on a 16-way configuration. Begin the procedure by viewing the connections in each 8-way system: From the diagnostic program main menu, select 1. Hardware Info 2. Summit Chips A screen similar to the following is shown: This_______ Connectd_to Ext Is Has Port Trans Recei Error no Chip_._Port Chip_._Port Int Ready Cable Speed Error Error Count Scalability: 01 Scalab_1.P1 Ext yes yes 1600 MHz no no 00 02 Scalab_1.P2 Ext yes yes 1600 MHz no no 00 03 Scalab_1.P3 Scalab_2.P3 Ext yes yes 1600 MHz no no 00 04 Scalab_2.P1 Ext yes yes 1600 MHz no no 00 05 Scalab_2.P2 Ext yes yes 1600 MHz no no 00 06 Scalab_2.P3 Scalab_1.P3 Ext yes yes 1600 MHz no no 00 Memory: 07 Memory_1.P0 PCI-X__1.P0 Int yes yes 1000 MHz no no 00 08 Memory_1.P1 PCI-X__2.P0 Int yes yes 1000 MHz no no 00 09 Memory_2.P0 PCI-X__2.P1 Int yes yes 1000 MHz no no 00 10 Memory_2.PB Ext yes no 250 MHz no no 00 PCI-X: 11 PCI-X__1.P0 Memory_1.P0 Int yes yes 1000 MHz no no 00 12 PCI-X__1.PA Ext yes yes 250 MHz no no 00 13 PCI-X__2.P0 Memory_1.P1 Int yes yes 1000 MHz no no 00 14 PCI-X__2.P1 Memory_2.P0 Int yes yes 1000 MHz no no 00 The information in the columns indicates: 1.
