Ordering server cables

To order your server cables, follow these steps:

1. Check out General Cabling Considerations.
2. Figure out how much cable you need by consulting the site plan you drew.
3. Click types of cable to view specifications and part numbers.
   • Twinaxial cables (workstations, remote workstation controllers, host servers)
   • Operations Console Cables
4. Write down the type and quantity of cables you need in the Workstation Information Form 3B.
5. Using the information you entered in the form, order your cables. Make sure you specify:
   • Type of cable (for instance, twinaxial)
   • Lengths and quantity of cable (as in, ten 1.8 m (6 ft) cables, and so on)
   • Type of covering if applicable (like vinyl- or Teflon-covered twinaxial cables)

   Remember to order any necessary cable accessories, such as adapters and T connectors.

   Note: If you are ordering cables from IBM®, you must specify part numbers and, in some cases, length or feature number. Verify the cable part tables (twinaxial cables and iSeries® Access Console cables).
