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.
