Installing an Expander Cabinet
This chapter explains how to install one or more expander cabinets for the
system. An expander cabinet provides room for I/O adapters and addi-
tional storage for the system. The system can have a maximum of two ex-
pander cabinets.
The expander cabinet is designed for PCI I/O shelves and BA350
StorageWorks shelves. At the bottom of the cabinet there is room for two
power supplies (one is optional) and a CCL panel. Above this area there
are eight shelf slots for PCI I/O shelves and BA350 StorageWorks shelves.
The maximum number of PCI I/O shelves in an expander cabinet is four.
The maximum number of PCI I/O shelves for an entire system is eleven.
