Cell Interconnect and Multiple Cell Systems

A cell can be connected together with up to three other cells to create a multiple-cell system. > shows a system made up of two cells (eight processor sockets). The two cells are connected together with two interconnect cables. > shows a system made up of four cells (16 processor sockets). Systems with four cells require six interconnect cables. Systems with three cells are also possible.
