Gently push the cable’s connector into the receptacle, and then use the screws to pull the connector in tight. The connector must be tight to ensure a good ground contact.

If you are setting up redundant interconnects, all Memory Channel adapters in a system must have the same jumper setting, either VH0 or VH1.

5.5.2.2 Installing MC2 Cables in Virtual Hub Mode Using Optical Converters

If you are using optical converters in an MC2 configuration, install an optical converter module (CCMFB) when you install the CCMAB Memory Channel PCI adapter in each system in the virtual hub configuration. You should also connect the CCMAB Memory Channel adapter to the optical converter with a BN39B-01 cable. When you install the CCMFB optical converter module in the second system, you connect the two systems with the BN34R fiber optics cable (see Section 5.3).

5.5.2.3 Connecting MC2 Link Cables in Standard Hub Mode (No Fiber Optics)

If there are more than two systems in a cluster, use a Memory Channel standard hub configuration. Connect a BN39B-04 (4-meter) or BN39B-10 (10-meter) link cable between the Memory Channel adapter and a linecard in the CCMHB hub, starting at the lowest numbered slot in the hub.

If you are setting up redundant interconnects, the following restrictions apply:

Each adapter installed in a system must be connected to a different hub.

Each Memory Channel adapter in a system must be connected to linecards that are installed in the same slot position in each hub. For example, if you connect one adapter to a linecard installed in slot 0/opto in one hub, you must connect the other adapter in that system to a linecard installed in slot 0/opto of the second hub.

_____________________ Note _____________________

You cannot install a CCMLB linecard in slot opto only.

5.5.2.4 Connecting MC2 Cables in Standard Hub Mode Using Optical Converters

If you are using optical converters in an MC2 configuration, install an optical converter module (CCMFB), with attached BN34R fiber optics cable, when you install the CCMAB Memory Channel PCI adapter in each system in the standard hub configuration. You should also connect the CCMAB Memory Channel adapter to the optical converter with a BN39B-01 cable.
