Monitoring the Server
Excluding / Including XSP Cables
For high flexibility, availability and optimum performance, each CSS module is equipped
with two XSP cables for inter-module communication. Each XSP cable routes SPS data and
clock signals. If an XSP cable is faulty, you can logically exclude it to ensure correct server
operation until replaced. Once the fault has been repaired, you can logically include the
excluded XSP cable.
To logically exclude / include an XSP cable:
1. From the PAM Tree pane, click Configuration Tasks → Ring Exclusion to open the Control
pane.
2. Select the XSP cables tab to display XSP configuration.

next power-on or click the Include all XSP cables and Save button at the bottom of the
page to logically include ALL previously excluded XSP cables at the next power-on.
Note:
The legend at the bottom of the Control pane explains different XSP cable states.
In the above figure, no exclusions have been requested / applied.
