Cabling the CEC Drawer, Primary I/O Drawer, and Secondary I/O Drawer
The minimum system consists of two drawers. The CEC drawer contains the system
processors, memory and supporting hardware. The primary I/O drawer contains PCI
adapters, operator panel, disk drives, and media drives. The Model H80 and Models
6H0 and 6H1 must have one primary I/O drawer, which contains the service processor
for the system. The system supports up to two I/O drawers in various rack
configurations.
There are two steps to connecting the CEC drawer to the I/O drawers.
1. Connect the cables that only connect the CEC drawer and the primary I/O drawer,
such as the JTAG and the V/S COMM cable.
2. Connecting the cables that connect the CEC drawer and all the I/O drawers in
loops, such as the RIO cables and the SPCN cables.
All power cables connect to the PDU. If a second PDU is specified along with
secondary drawer power supplies for all drawers,the secondary power supplies connect
to the secondary PDU.
