bundle similar cables together. Use hook-and-loop fasteners to secure the cable
bundles to the vertical rails of the rack cabinet.
Attention: Do not secure cables too tightly. Overtightening can cause internal
damage to the cables.

SMP Expansion cabling
The cabling information in this section is for multi-node configurations using two or
four servers. A node is one of multiple servers in a configuration interconnected
through the SMP Expansion Ports to share system resources.
Complete the following steps to configure and cable a multi-node configuration:
1. Update the SAL/EFI code and the service processor firmware. To download the
most current level of SAL/EFI code and service processor firmware, go to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/. For more information:
v
Read the release notes included with the SAL/EFI code.
v See the Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries
Documentation CD.
2. Configure the nodes using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See the
User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
3. Cable the configuration using the instructions in this section.
4. Configure the scalable partition. See “Configuring a scalable partition” in the
User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
5. Make sure the service processor on each node is configured and connected to
the network. See the Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide on the IBM
xSeries Documentation CD.
Two-node configuration: A two-node configuration requires the 4-way to 8-way
Scalability Kit option. Complete the following steps to cable a two-node
configuration for up to 8-way operation:
