b.Connect one end of an SMP Expansion cable to port 2 on node 1; then, route the cable through the node 1 cable-management arm. Use a 2.9-m (9.5-foot) SMP Expansion cable for this connection.

c.Connect one end of an SMP Expansion cable to port 3 on node 1; then, route the cable through the node 1 cable-management arm. Use a 2.3-m (7.6-foot) SMP Expansion cable for this connection.

4.Connect the SMP Expansion cables to node 2:

a.Connect one end of an SMP Expansion cable to port 1 on node 2; then, route the cable through the node 2 cable-management arm. Use a 2.3-m (7.6-foot) SMP Expansion cable for this connection.

b.Connect one end of an SMP Expansion cable to port 2 on node 2; then, route the cable through the node 2 cable-management arm. Use a 2.9-m (9.5-foot) SMP Expansion cable for this connection.

c.Locate the SMP Expansion cable that is connected to port 3 on node 1; then, connect the opposite end of the cable to port 3 of node 2. Next, route the cable through the node 2 cable-management arm.

5.Connect the SMP Expansion cables to node 3:

a.Locate the SMP Expansion cable that is connected to port 1 on node 2; then, connect the opposite end of the cable to port 1 of node 3. Next, route the cable through the node 3 cable-management arm.

b.Connect one end of an SMP Expansion cable to port 2 on node 3; then, route the cable through the node 3 cable-management arm. Use a 2.9-m (9.5-foot) SMP Expansion cable for this connection.

c.Connect one end of an SMP Expansion cable to port 3 on node 3; then, route the cable through the node 3 cable-management arm. Use a 2.3-m (7.6-foot) SMP Expansion cable for this connection.

6.Connect the SMP Expansion cables to node 4:

a.Locate the SMP Expansion cable that is connected to port 1 on node 1; then, connect the opposite end of the cable to port 1 of node 4. Next, route the cable through the node 4 cable-management arm.

b.Connect one end of an SMP Expansion cable to port 2 on node 4; then, route the cable through the node 4 cable-management arm. Use a 2.9-m (9.5-foot) SMP Expansion cable for this connection.

c.Locate the SMP Expansion cable that is connected to port 3 on node 3; then, connect the opposite end of the cable to port 3 of node 4. Next, route the cable through the node 4 cable-management arm.

7.Connect the SMP Expansion cables to node 5:

a.Connect one end of an SMP Expansion cable to port 1 on node 5; then, route the cable through the node 5 cable-management arm. Use a 2.3-m (7.6-foot) SMP Expansion cable for this connection.

b.Locate the SMP Expansion cable that is connected to port 2 on node 1; then, connect the opposite end of the cable to port 2 of node 5. Next, route the cable through the node 5 cable-management arm.

c.Connect one end of an SMP Expansion cable to port 3 on node 5; then, route the cable through the node 5 cable-management arm. Use a 2.3-m (7.6-foot) SMP Expansion cable for this connection.

8.Connect the SMP Expansion cables to node 6:

a.Connect one end of an SMP Expansion cable to port 1 on node 6; then, route the cable through the node 6 cable-management arm. Use a 2.3-m (7.6-foot) SMP Expansion cable for this connection.
