Cable routing in a multi-switch frame (F/C 2030/1)
Figure 2-9 on page 2-12 and Figure 2-10 on page 2-12 show back views of the RS/6000 SP multi-switch
frame with frame extension, showing the horizontal and vertical paths of cable routing from
connector-to-connector. The depths has been amplified on the drawing.
Note: W1 consists of vertical raceways V1-V4.
W5 consists of vertical raceways V5-V8.
