Compute Expansion Rack Components

Oracle Private Cloud Appliance with compute expansion provides a scalable platform to expand system compute capacity.

The compute nodes are delivered in an expansion rack containing power distribution units (PDUs) and networking components to integrate the additional physical resources with the base rack. A compute expansion rack contains a minumum of 3 factory-installed compute nodes. More nodes can be installed after initial deployment, but must be added in sets of 3. Up to two expansion racks can be connected to a base rack.

For information about connecting a compute expansion rack to the base rack, refer to Optional Compute Expansion Rack in the "Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Installation Guide".
