single Slammer systems.
Pillar Axiom 600 systems that include any version 1 Bricks or any
version 1 PIMs must use only copper connections.
All new Pillar Axiom 600 systems (shipped after January 31,
2011) have version 2 Bricks and use optical connections.
Pillar Axiom 600 systems are cabled according to the cabling
diagrams in the
Use cables that are appropriate for the type of Brick and other
hardware components on the Pillar Axiom 600 system. For more

Pillar Axiom systems that are upgraded in the field might have a
Brick string configuration that is different from a Pillar Axiom
system built in the factory, especially when systems are upgraded
non-disruptively. However, rules that apply to all systems always
apply to systems upgraded in the field.

Table 14 Cabling principles (system size related issues)
Cabling principle
Pillar Axiom 600 systems with one Slammer have a maximum of
four Brick strings.
Pillar Axiom 600 systems with two or three Slammers have a
maximum of eight Brick strings.
Pillar Axiom 600 systems with four Slammers have a maximum of
16 Brick strings, but may be configured with eight Brick strings.
However, it is recommended that systems using more than 32
Bricks are configured with 16 Brick strings.
