8. If you are connecting an RXE-100 enclosure, go to "RXE Expansion Port cabling for a 16-way configuration" on page 46. 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 63 and follow the instructions for creating a scalable partition. RXE Expansion and Management Port cabling There are two RXE Expansion Ports on the rear of the server. Use these ports to connect the server to an RXE-100 enclosure and to expand the number of PCI-X slots that are available for use by the server. There is one RXE Management Port located on the back of the server. You can use this port to connect the server to the management port of an optional RXE-100 enclosure. This port is used to manage the PCI-X slots in an RXE-100 enclosure, including slot assignments and managing access. For detailed information about how the server and RXE-100 enclosure work together, see the documentation that comes with the RXE-100 enclosure. RXE Expansion Port cabling for one server with one SMP Expansion Module: If your server has one SMP Expansion Module installed, complete the following steps to connect an RXE-100 enclosure: 1. Remove the protective covers from the connectors on the ends of the cables. Protective cover Figure 41. RXE Expansion cable with protective cover 2. Using an RXE Expansion cable, connect one end of the cable to RXE Expansion Port A on the server. Chapter 2. Installing options 41

cabling
for
a
16-way
configuration”
on
page
46.
If
you
are
not
connecting
an
RXE-100
enclosure,
connect
all
remaining
external
cables
to
the
server;
then,
go

RXE
Expansion
and
Management
Port
cabling
There
are
two
RXE
Expansion
Ports
on
the
rear
of
the
server.
Use
these
ports
to
connect
the
server
to
an
RXE-100
enclosure
and
to
expand
the
number
of
PCI-X
slots
that
are
available
for
use
by
the
server.
There
is
