xSeries 455 Planning and Installation Guide
1.7.1 RXE-100 connectivity
RXE-100s may be attached to x455 systems. They can be connected using
either optional 3.5m Scalability Port Cables or optional 8m RXE Cables. The
RXE cable length allows placement of RXE-100s in a rack adjacent to the rack
containing the x455 system.
Conceptually, two-node and four-node configurations with RXE-100s are
depicted in Figure 1-13 on page 25 and Figure 1-14 on page 25. These also
show the cable requirements.
