User Accounts

Two standard user accounts are created on the SMS. The first account user name is root and it uses the standard root password for Superdome SMS stations. This account has administrative access. The second account user name is hduser and it uses the standard hduser password for the Superdome SMS stations. This account has general user permissions.

New Server Cabling

Three new Superdome cables designed for the sx2000 improve data rate and electrical performance:

•an m-Link cable

•two types (lengths) of e-Link cable

•a clock cable

m-Link Cable

The m-Link cable (A9834-2002A) is the primary backplane to second cabinet backplane high speed interconnect. The m-Link cable connects XBCs between system and I/O backplanes. The cable uses 4x10 HMZD connectors with Amphenol Spectra-Strip 26AWG twin-ax cable material. The m-Link cable is designed with one length but it is used in several connecting points. Thus, you must manage excessive cable length carefully. The ideal routing keeps m-Link cables from blocking access of power and XBC modules. Twelve high-speed cables must be routed around the backplane frame with the support of mechanical retentions. The m-Link cable is designed with a more robust dielectric material than the legacy REO cable and can withstand a tighter bend radius. However, HP recommends keeping the minimum bend radius at 2 inches.

e-Link Cable

The e-Link cables (A9834-2000B) are seven feet long cables and the external e-Link cable (A9834-2001A) is 14 feet long. Both use 2-mm HM connectors with Gore 26AWG PTFE twin-ax cable material. The e-Link cable connects the cell to the local I/O chassis, and the external e-Link
