Servicing External Interconnect Assemblies

In Oracle's SPARC M7-16 server, eight external interconnect assemblies connect the CMIOUs in the top chassis and the CMIOUs in the bottom chassis to the switch units in the switch chassis. One half of an assembly is installed in the switch chassis, and the other half of the assembly is installed in a CMIOU chassis.

For the location of the external interconnect assemblies, see Switch Chassis Front Components (SPARC M7-16).
