xFusion · Model-specific cabling

Connect the right
OCP expansion.

Plan FlexIO connections for your FusionServer 2288H V7. Compare cable part numbers, check processor requirements and identify connector conflicts before requesting a quotation.

Plan your connections

01 / Connection planner

From slot to processor.

Start with the hardware installed in your server. Changing the layout, processors or slot modes clears the connector checks so they can be confirmed again.

Installed hardware

Connector availability

Check all existing internal cables. A matching connector alone does not establish NIC compatibility.

  • Confirm: Confirm 8 x 2.5-inch Drive Pass-Through Configuration 1. Other layouts need a separate cabling check.
  • Confirm: Confirm the number of installed processors.
  • Confirm: Choose the intended mode for each FlexIO slot, including any unused slot.

Cable references for this enquiry

No expansion cable is identified for the current selections. Standard x8 connections do not add an expansion cable here; complete installed cabling still needs to be checked.

Part numbers are cable references, not confirmation of separate supply, stock or an approved server configuration.

Nothing is sent automatically. Review the enquiry before sharing it with sales.

02 / Exact cable identification

Same family. Different connections.

Keep the complete suffix when requesting a cable. These xFusion P/N codes are separate from retail component brands and are not interchangeable merely because the connectors look similar.

03 / Before installation

Check the whole server, not just the cable.

01

Processor population

Single-processor OCP placement is limited to FlexIO 1. Expansion choices here are checked for a two-processor configuration; single-processor x16 needs separate confirmation.

02

Shared CPU 2 connector

FlexIO 1 x8 + x8 and FlexIO 2 x16 both use J53. They cannot use that connector at the same time. Check other internal cable assignments too.

03

NIC and system qualification

Provide the exact OCP NIC model and PN, firmware, riser arrangement and cooling configuration. Lane width does not state Ethernet speed or guarantee application performance.

04

Ordering and inspection

Send the server serial number and photographs of the cable labels and connector positions. Confirm cable length, supplied assembly, condition, availability and installation requirements with your quotation.

For FusionServer 2288H V7 with 8 x 2.5-inch Drive Pass-Through Configuration 1 only. Other drive layouts need a separate cabling check.

Confirm the server configuration, exact NIC, firmware, risers and available connectors before ordering.

These are xFusion cable P/N codes. Confirm the supplied assembly, ordering code and whether each cable can be supplied separately.

This checks selected OCP expansion connections only, not the complete server configuration or network performance.
