RXE Expansion Port cabling for one server with two SMP Expansion Modules: If your server has two SMP Expansion Modules 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 44. RXE Expansion cable with protective cover 2. Using an RXE Expansion cable, connect one end of the cable to RXE Expansion Port B on the server. RXE Expansion Port B xSeries 445 RXE-100 RXE Expansion Port A Figure 45. RXE Expansion port cabling a server with two SMP Expansion Modules 3. Connect the opposite end of the cable to an RXE Expansion Port on the RXE-100 enclosure. Notes: 1. When two SMP Expansion Modules are installed, both of the RXE Expansion ports are active. 2. To increase reliability, connect a second cable from RXE Expansion Port A on the server to RXE Expansion Port B on the enclosure. This will create a redundant data path if either of the two cables fail. Chapter 2. Installing options 43

RXE
Expansion
Port
cabling
for
one
server
with
two
SMP
Expansion
Modules:
If
your
server
has
two
SMP
Expansion
Modules
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.
2.
Using
an
RXE
Expansion
cable,
connect
one
end
of
the
cable
to
RXE
Expansion
Port
B
on
the
server.
3.
Connect
the
opposite
end
of
the
cable
to
an
RXE
Expansion
Port
on
the
RXE-100
enclosure.
Notes:
1.
When
two
SMP
Expansion
Modules
are
installed,
both
of
the
RXE
Expansion
ports
are
active.
2.
To
increase
reliability,
connect
a
second
cable
from
RXE
Expansion
Port
A
on
the
server
to
RXE
Expansion
Port
B
on
the
enclosure.
This
will
create
a
redundant
data
path
if
either
of
the
two
cables
fail.
