Re: HSL and SPCN cables

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Guy,

If your system doesn't have any additional towers beyond the system unit 
and this IXA you should be OK, although if this is the case I personally 
would disconnect the cables at the iSeries end instead.

If you do have other towers I would strongly recommend that you cable 
around the IXA to complete the loop. Without the loop completed another 
cable failure or tower failure would drop your system.
