Locate and identify the hardware components, cable part numbers, power distribution unit (PDU) part number, and port-to-port cabling sequence in an IBM® PureFlex™ System Express multi chassis configuration.
The following indexed diagrams help you map a hardware
component to its position on the unit and understand port-to-port
cabling sequence between the components in an IBM PureFlex System Express multichassis
configuration. Use these diagrams with the following tables.
Note: To
