2.8.3 7311 Model D20 I/O drawer SPCN cabling

The SPCN is used to control and monitor the status of power and cooling within the I/O
drawer. The SPCN is a loop, the cabling starts from SPCN port 0 on the p5-520 or p5-520Q
system to SPCN port 0 on the first I/O drawer. The loop is closed connecting the SPCN port 1
of the I/O drawer back to the port 1 of the p5-520 or p5-520Q system. If you have more than
one I/O drawer, you continue the loop connecting the following drawer (or drawers) with the
same rule.
Figure shows SPCN cabling examples.
