3.2.3 Confirming the Delivered Components of the Expansion Rack
The expansion rack is a dedicated rack necessary for connecting multiple SPARC M12-2S units together via a crossbar box. In the expansion rack, a dedicated receptacle box for supplying power (PDU), a crossbar box, crossbar cables, and XSCF cables are mounted as standard.
There are two types of expansion racks, namely expansion rack 1 and expansion rack 2. Expansion rack 1 is used for up to 8BB, and expansion rack 2 is used from 9BB up to 16BB configuration.
Figure 3-1 is a list of accessories for expansion rack 1 and expansion rack 2. Figure 3-2 is a list of connecting kit components supplied with expansion rack 2.
