4.3 Connecting Cables (for Connections through Crossbar Boxes)
For connections through crossbar boxes, an expansion rack is shipped with the SPARC M10-4S and crossbar boxes mounted. The SPARC M10-4S and crossbar boxes are connected by crossbar cables (optical) and the XSCF units are connected by XSCF cables when the rack is shipped. For configurations up to the 8BB configuration, skip to "4.3.1 Connecting XSCF cables."
The 9BB configuration or larger requires two racks, so the crossbar cables (optical) and XSCF cables that pass between the racks need to be connected. For any subsequent installation expanding to the 9BB configuration or larger, the connections of the existing crossbar cables (optical) need to be changed.
This section describes how to connect the crossbar cables (optical) and XSCF cables that pass between the racks and how to move crossbar cables (optical).
For each configuration, "Appendix B Cable Connection Information on Building Block Configurations" provides a cable connection diagram and a cable list.
