If your server model comes with an operating system, such as Microsoft Windows® 2000 Datacenter Server or VMware ESX server, see the software documentation provided with your software for additional cabling instructions. To effectively manage the cables on this server, keep groups of cables secured together, and do not run cables across the back of the server. Use cable ties to bundle similar cables together. Use hook-and-loop fasteners to secure the cable bundles to the vertical rails of the rack cabinet. Attention: Do not secure cables too tightly. Overtightening can cause internal damage to the cables. SMP Expansion Port cabling Depending upon your configuration, there are either three or six SMP Expansion Ports located on the back of the server. The cabling information in this section is for configurations using up to four SMP Expansion Modules in two servers. Configurations that use only one SMP Expansion Module have three SMP Expansion Ports and do not require any SMP Expansion Port cabling. v If you are installing a server that has only one SMP Expansion Module and you are connecting an RXE-100 enclosure, go to "RXE Expansion Port cabling for one server with one SMP Expansion Module" on page 41. v If you are installing a server that has only one SMP Expansion Module and 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 63 and follow the instructions for creating a scalable partition. v If you are installing a server that has two SMP Expansion Modules, go to "SMP Expansion Port cabling for one server with two SMP Expansion Modules" on page 36. v If you are installing two servers that each have two SMP Expansion Modules, go to "SMP Expansion Port cabling for two servers with four SMP Expansion Modules (16-way)" on page 37.

server,
see
the

instructions.
To

to
secure
the
cable
bundles
to
the

Attention:
Do

SMP
Expansion
Port
cabling
Depending
upon
your
configuration,
there
are
either
three
or
six
SMP
Expansion
Ports
located
on
the
back
of
the
server.
The

this
section
is
for
configurations
using

use
only
one
SMP
Expansion
Module
have
three
SMP
Expansion
Ports
and
do
not
require
any
SMP
Expansion
Port
cabling.
v
If
you
are
installing
a
server
that
has
only
one
SMP
Expansion
Module
and
you
are
connecting
an
RXE-100
enclosure,
go
to
“RXE
Expansion
Port
cabling

SMP
Expansion
Module”

page
41.
v
If
you
are
installing
a
server
that
has
only
one
SMP
Expansion
Module

not
connecting
an
RXE-100
enclosure,
connect
all
remaining
external
cables
to
the
server;
then,
go
to
“Creating
a
scalable
partition”
on
page
63
and
follow
the
instructions
for
creating
a
scalable
partition.
v

you
are
installing
a
server
that
has
two
SMP
Expansion
Modules,
go
to
“SMP

SMP
Expansion
Modules”
on
page
36.
