66 IBM Power 770 and 780 Technical Overview and Introduction
Similarly, the Flexible Service Processor (FSP) flex cables must be installed in the correct
order (Figure 2-17), as follows:
1. Install a second node flex cable from node 1 to node 2.
2. Add a third node flex cable from node 1 and node 2 to node 3.
3. Add a fourth node flex cable from node 1 and node 2 to node 4.

The design of the Power 770 and Power 780 is optimized for use in an IBM 7014-T00 or
7014-T42 rack. Both the front cover and the external processor fabric cables occupy space on
the front left and right side of an IBM 7014 rack. Racks that are not from IBM might not offer
the same room. When a Power 770 or Power 780 is configured with two or more system
enclosures in a 7014-T42 or 7014-B42 rack, the CEC enclosures must be located in EIA 36 or
below to allow space for the flex cables.
