Connections needed for the CES - M/T 7017
Each Clustered Enterprise Server M/T 7017 must be attached to the control
workstation via the following two serial cable features:
򐂰 Clustered Server Serial Port to Control Workstation Cable (F/C 3150) - server
SAMI port on left side of the front operator panel.
򐂰 Clustered Server Control Panel to Control Workstation Cable (F/C 3151) -
server S1 serial port on primary I/O drawer.
F/C 3150 and F/C 3151 cables must be ordered with the Clustered Enterprise
Server M/T 7017 (or with the CWS as desired).
Each Clustered Enterprise Server M/T 7017 must be attached to the control
workstation via an Ethernet LAN adapter. This adapter must be recognized by
the clustered server as "en0" and must reside in slot #5 of the server’s primary
I/O drawer.
The supported adapters for this system’s LAN are:
򐂰 For Twisted-pair cable connection:
– 10/100 Ethernet 10BaseTX adapter (F/C 2968)
– 10 MB AUI/RJ-45 Ethernet adapter (F/C 2987)
򐂰 For BNC cable connection
– 10 MB BNC/RJ-45 Ethernet adapter (F/C 2985)
The interconnection between servers in the CES system, can be accomplished
utilizing the IBM RS/6000 SP System Attachment Adapter (F/C 8396) for the SP
Switch connection.
If used, the adapter has to be ordered as a server feature code and it must be
installed in slot #10 of the Clustered Enterprise Server primary I/O drawer; slots
#9 and #11 must remain empty. Slot #9 must be left open to ensure the adapter
has sufficient bandwidth. Slot #11 must be left open to provide clearance for the
switch adapter heat sinks.
The RS/6000 Server Attached Node (F/C 9122), which has to be ordered on the
9076-555 Stand-alone SP Switch, counts the number of RS/6000 Server
Attached Nodes configured on the CES system (up to 16/32 Clustered
Enterprise Servers). Every RS/6000 Server attached node (F/C 9122) selected
generates an RS/6000 Server Frame Attachement (F/C 9123).
Note: The customer must supply all required Ethernet Twisted-pair or BNC
cables.
