Connecting the cables This section describes how to connect cables to the SMP Expansion Port, system power connectors, RXE Expansion Port, SCSI connector, USB connector, video connector, mouse connector, keyboard connector, Ethernet connector, and RXE Management port for up to 16-way operation. For details about the locations and functions of all of the ports, LEDs, and connectors, see Chapter 3, "Server controls, LEDs, and power," on page 51. Notes: 1. The information in this publication is for single and dual server configurations using up to 16 microprocessors and four SMP Expansion Modules. 2. There are two different SMP Expansion cables used to connect the SMP Expansion Modules. a. 2.5 m (8.2 ft) copper clad (comes in the IBM xSeries 445 Eserver Two-chassis 16-way Scalability Kit) b. 25.4 cm (10 in.) black clad 3. Before connecting RXE or SMP Expansion cables to the server, ensure that the protective cover is removed from the connectors on each end. 4. See the following illustrations to locate the connectors on the back of your server, depending on your model. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
