The following tables help you understand port-to-port cabling sequence between the components in a
multiple rack IBM PurePower System.
Note:
To locate and identify the hardware components, types of ports, and port numbers in an IBM
PurePower System, see Identifying hardware components in an IBM PurePower System.
