RXE cabling

The cabling to an RXE100 Expansion Enclosure should be as follows:
Primary Port A to Secondary Port A
Primary Port B to RXE100 Side A
Secondary Port B to RXE100 Side B
These connections can be verified with the following display (from the diagnostic
program main menu, select "Hardware Info" and "Summit Chips"). The primary
display in the following example begins with "Memory":
In line number 12, Port A is shown as "Ready", but the "Connected_to" is unknown.
In line number 10, Port B is shown as "Connected_to" RXE100 Side A, Port A.
In line number 16, Port 1 is the internal port connecting to Side B, and it is
"Ready".
