Four-node configuration A four-node configuration requires five 3.0 m (9.8-foot) ScaleXpander cables, one 3.3 m (10.8-foot) ScaleXpander cable, four scalability cable-management arms, four scalability keys, and four System x3950 M2 bezels. The Scalabilty Cable Option kit contains one of the 3.0 m (9.8-foot) ScaleXpander cables and the 3.3 m (10.8-foot) ScaleXpander cable. If you have System x3950 M2 servers, the Scalabilty Cable Option kit contains all the parts that you need to configure a 4-node system. If you have System x3850 M2 servers, you must purchase four ScaleXpander Option Kits (to obtain the additional four 3.0 m cables, scalability cable-management arms, scalability keys, and the System x3950 bezels) in addition to the Scalability Cable Option kit. To cable a four-node configuration for up to a 16-socket operation, complete the following steps: 1. Label each end of each ScaleXpander cable according to where it will be connected to each server.
