is delivered to the site, a floor plan and cable routing plan must be completed. For more
information, see the Site Preparation Guide.
Table 2-2 provides an example of the components used in a cluster of 243 application nodes and
13 utility nodes. The application nodes are 2U in height and the control node and utility nodes
are 4U in height. In this configuration, the control node does not have a link to the interconnect.
A total of 19 racks is required to hold all the components.
