Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 - Physical Layout; Configuration Options; Option 1: Single MX7000 Enclosure

Physical layout
There are multiple congurations of Cloud Foundation on PowerEdge MX7000 chassis that are described in this document. The Cloud
Foundation software addresses the host servers using their IP Address. Deploying compute sleds across multiple PowerEdge MX7000
chassis has no impact on the software as long as the networking is congured properly on the Networking IO modules and the switches to
which the PowerEdge MX7000 chassis connects. The physical layout and resulting cabling is impacted by the number of PowerEdge
MX7000 chassis in use but no other changes are made in the environment.
