Collect and inventory the cables you ordered, if any. You should inventory spare cables from the kit and the existing multirack cables. Each Exalogic machine includes a kit of spare parts.
Some spare cables are used for multirack cabling. The following table lists the spare cables available for the switch, and their length.
No additional InfiniBand cables need to be purchased when connecting an Exalogic machine full rack with another Exalogic machine full rack or with an Exadata Database Machine. The 5-meter cables provided in the spares kit with each Exalogic machine can be used for making the connections.
You can use some cables in the spare parts pool for multirack cabling.
Note:
For Exalogic machine full racks, 16 QSFP passive copper cables of length 5 meter, with part number 594-6387-01, are included in the spare kit. These cables are intended for multirack cabling.
