One set of connectors can be used for a x8 connection when cabled to a single
DXH510, or for two x4 connections when each connector in the set is cabled to a
different DXH510 adapter card. Two sets of two connectors allow for connection to up
to four DXH510 adapter cards in this manner.
Each DXH510 card has one pair of connectors, as shown in Figure 2–1 on Page 9. Both
connectors are used for a x8 connection, or a single connector may be used for a x4
connection.
Table 2–3 shows how the DXH510 card(s) are cabled to the DSE4XM for
configurations of one to four servers.
‡
Only required if a x8 connection is desired. May be left unconnected if a x4 connection only is needed.
The single server dual x8 configuration is similar to the two server configuration,
however in this case both DXH510:1 and DXH510:2 adapters reside in the same server.
Attach the cable(s) to the required connectors for your configuration as specified by
Table 2–3.
