Cables and connectors

Compute nodes connect to each other with 1G Ethernet cables.

The compute nodes connect to the Primary Storage Shelf with SAS-3 cables.

The Primary Storage Shelf connects to Expansion Storage Shelf I/O modules with SAS-3 cables.

Expansion Storage Shelves connect to each other with SAS-3 cables.

The power connector that attaches to a storage shelf has a right-angled form factor.

A security tie assures continued connection between the power cable and the storage shelf.
