3.3 Performing a Cable Inventory

Collect and inventory the cables you ordered, if any. You should inventory spare
cables from the kit and the existing multirack cables. Each Exalogic machine includes
a kit of spare parts.
Some spare cables are used for multirack cabling. The following table lists the spare
cables available for the switch, and their length.
No additional InfiniBand cables need to be purchased when connecting an Exalogic
machine full rack with another Exalogic machine full rack or with an Exadata Database
Machine. The 5-meter cables provided in the spares kit with each Exalogic machine
can be used for making the connections.
You can use some cables in the spare parts pool for multirack cabling.
