of cord. Do not use extension cords. If extra power cords are needed, contact IBM
Support.
Use high-quality Category 5e or 5 (CAT5e, CAT5) copper cables.
Use Intel based enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) transceivers only. Both
short reach (SFP+ SR) and long reach (SFP+ LR) optics are supported. Optical fiber cable
specifications depend on the SFP+ module used. For more detail, refer to Intel
documentation on Modules and Cables.
Any SFP+ passive or active direct attach copper cable compliant with the SFF-8431 v4.1
