3.
The deep-plug design of the scalability cables will help to prevent the cables from
becoming disconnected from the port since the connection is actually in the center of
the system, not at the rear of the system like previous System x scalable systems.
4.
Due to the deep-plug nature of the scalability cables, the lengths are actually longer
than previous systems but the actual amount of slack outside the system and the
CMA is slightly less than the slack in the xSeries 460/System x3950 system.
5.
Thinner gauge cable was chosen for this generation of the scalability cables, and a
thinner gauge still will be introduced later in 2008. This reduces the stiffness of the
cables and will help the cables route more easily.
6.
It is recommended to wrap the cable strap around the scalability cables first to secure
them within the brackets, then wrap the strap around the CMA.
