One server with two SMP Expansion Modules
If your server has two SMP Expansion Modules installed complete the following
steps. For information about cabling the RXE Management Ports, see "RXE
Management Port cabling" on page 69.
1. Remove the protective covers from the connectors on the ends of the cables.

Expansion Port B on the server.

3. Connect the opposite end of the cable to an RXE Expansion Port on the remote
I/O enclosure.
Notes:
a. When two SMP Expansion Modules are installed, both of the RXE
Expansion ports are active.
b. To increase reliability connect a second RXE Expansion cable from the
server RXE Expansion Port A to the remote I/O enclosure RXE Expansion
Port B. This will create a redundant data path if either of the two cables fail.
4. Go to "One server" on page 69 in the "RXE Management Port cabling" section
and complete the procedure.
