An entire I/O drawercan be cabled to a single processor subsystem when the two halves of the I/O drawer are daisy-chainedtogether. Each half of an I/O drawer can also be cabled to a different processor subsystem.It is recommended that an Ethernet network be connected to the system. Each HMC can connect to eachpartition running on a processor subsystem to enable implementation of the service functions that areavailable. The Ethernet network is used for Service Focal Point (see the IBM Hardware ManagementConsole for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide for detailed information).4444444482I/O DrawerI/O DrawerI/O DrawerI/O DrawerProcessorSubsystemProcessorSubsystemProcessorSubsystemProcessorSubsystemI/O Drawer123EIA unitsfor eachdrawer456776ProcessorSubsystem= Minimum configuration itemsAppendix D. pSeries 655 Description and Overview 129
