Installing the fabric and sideband cables
Prerequisites
NOTE:
In a sled which has been configured with mixed CPUs – a fabric processor installed in the CPU2 socket and a
non-fabric processor installed in the CPU1 socket, you must connect the external Omnipath link cables to Port 2 on the
OCP carrier card.
NOTE: The procedure to install the carrier card is similar to installing an OCP card.
NOTE: Route the fabric cable for CPU2 under the heat sink of CPU1.
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
Steps
1. Align the notches on the fabric connector with the guide pins on the processor base plate.
2. Push the connector toward the processor, until the connector is engaged with the edge connector on the processor.
3. Push the locking bar down to secure the fabric connector in place.
4. Insert the side band cable into the respective connector, and press down to lock the connector.
