SMP processor cable

The SMP processor cable connects two, three, or four four-way nodes to become a single server for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) services.

This pliable cable attaches directly to the system processor cards at the front of the server nodes and behind the front covers. SMP processor cables are available for 8-way, 12-way, and 16-way configurations.

This feature is typically installed by your service provider during initial server setup or model upgrade. However, you might need to remove and replace this cable to add or remove memory or processors.

Note: If you are servicing only one node, you do not need to remove the entire cable from all of the nodes. The flexible cable allows you to pull a single node connection away from the node for full access.
