Cabling the 9080-M9S system

Use this information to cable the 9080-M9S system.

When you cable the 9080-M9S system with more than one system node in the configuration, you must connect the system nodes to each other, and you must connect each system node to the system control unit.

The following diagrams help you to understand port-to-port cabling between components. Use these diagrams with the tables that follow. To avoid connection issues, use the specified length of cable for each connection. If you identify a cabling problem, use the Exchange FRU procedure on the Hardware Management Console to remove and replace cables.

Note: In the following information, SC1 indicates the system control unit, and ND1 through ND4 indicate system node 1 through system node 4.
Select the cables and system configuration that you are servicing:
