Tetrahedral Topology
The disadvantage of the tetrahedral topology is an increase in the number of cabling
paths. Four enclosures in a tetrahedral topology require six instead of a minimal three
paths for an inline topology.
Note. The figures in this section are symbolic; they do not represent the actual wiring or
enclosure placement for a server.
