Cabling for an Altix 350 System
If your system was shipped from SGI
®
with the modules already mounted in a rack and the
NUMAlink cables preinstalled, you should proceed to “Attaching a Serial Terminal to an Altix
350 System” on page 7.
This section describes the NUMAlink cabling for some simple configurations. For instructions to
cable more complex systems, see the SGI Altix 350 User’s Guide.
Figure 1-3 shows a system with a base compute module and a CMPX module.
