To ensure signal integrity, a multiple-row system should be connected to a signal
reference grid. See Requirements for Grounding on page 7-12.

Example Enclosure Arrangements: Tetra 8 Topology
This figure shows a recommended arrangement of system enclosures for the
maximum configuration of the Tetra 8 topology. Smaller Tetra 8 configurations can also
use this arrangement.
This arrangement minimizes the number of times ServerNet cables cross over each
other.
Note. The arrangement of system enclosures does not change the requirements for how they
are cabled together. ServerNet cables must always be connected according to the
requirements of the topology you have chosen. Required cable connections for the different
topologies are described in Section 5, ServerNet Cabling
.
