Use hook-and-loop fasteners to secure the cable bundles in thecable-management arms.2. When possible, separate data and power cables.3. Do not secure cables too tightly. Overtightening can cause internal damage tothe cables.Configuring static partitionsIn this section you will find the information and instructions needed to create orremove a static partition. In some instances, creating or deleting static partitions arereferred to as merging or unmerging the servers.Notes:1. Before you can create or delete a static partition, the Remote SupervisorAdapters must connect to a network or to each other with an Ethernet crossovercable. This connection is needed so that the Remote Supervisor Adapters cancommunicate and perform the necessary functions for the two servers to mergeor unmerge.2. You must create a static partition on the primary server prior to cabling theservers together.3. Anytime you delete the static partition, you must remove all the interconnectedcables between the servers.4. When two servers are merged together the CD-ROM, diskette drive, keyboard,USB ports, mouse, and video are disabled on the secondary server.12 xSeries 440: 16-way Configuration Supplemental Information
