Maximum Cable Connections
|
|
|
|
SPs
|
Four cables required.
-
Two category 5, or better, serial cables.
-
Two category 6, or better, network cables.
|
These cables provide serial and network connections to the two
redundant SPs. All four SP cables are required.
|
|
PDU power cords (rackmounted servers only)
|
Six required.
|
Factory-installed servers require six PDU power cords (three from
each PDU) to operate.
|
|
Server power cords
|
-
SPARC M8-8 servers:
6
-
SPARC M7-8 servers:
6
-
SPARC M7-16 server:
16
|
All server power cords must be connected from the rack PDUs to the
AC inputs.
Note -
For stand-alone SPARC M8-8 and SPARC M7-8 servers, connect the
six server power cords to your rack or facility power
sources.
|
|
PCIe expansion slots
|
Maximum number of cables varies by configuration.
|
The number and type of required cables depends on the installed
PCIe cards.
|
|
Note -
To ensure the redundant operation of the power supplies on a stand-alone SPARC
M8-8 or SPARC M7-8 server, connect the server power cords to alternate power
sources. For example, connect server power cords from AC inputs labeled AC0, AC2,
and AC4 to one power source and from AC inputs labeled AC1, AC3, AC5 to another
power source. See
Stand-Alone Server Power Cord Requirements for more information.
