E-Link Cable | HP Integrity Superdome and 9000 Superdome sx2000

cable connects the cells to a remote PCI-X chassis. Because both the e-Link and the external e-Link use the same cable material as the legacy REO cable, cable routing and management of these cables in sx2000 system remain unchanged relative to Superdome. The external e-Link cable requires a bend radius no smaller than two inches. The e-Link cable requires a bend radius no smaller than four inches. Figure 1-13illustrates an e-Link cable.

Figure 1-13 e-Link Cable

During system installation, two internal e-Link or two external e-Link cables are needed for each cell board and I/O backplane. Twelve m-Link cables are needed for each dual-cabinet configuration.
