This section applies to the following DPUs when used as Socket Direct cards in dual-socket servers:
•

The below images are for illustration purposes only.
The hardware installation section uses the terminology of white and black harnesses to differentiate between the two supplied cables. Due to supply chain
variations, some DPUs may be supplied with two black harnesses instead. To clarify the difference between these two harnesses, one black harness was
marked with a "WHITE" label and the other with a "BLACK" label.
The Cabline harness marked with a "WHITE" label should be connected to the connector on the DPU and Auxiliary PCIe card engraved with "White Cable",
while the one marked with a "BLACK" label should be connected to the connector on the DPU and Auxiliary PCIe card engraved with "Black Cable".
The harnesses' minimal bending radius is 10[mm].
