Multiple-Cabinet Server Connections
All cabinets in a multiple-cabinet V2500/V2600 server are tightly
connected using HP’s Coherent Toroidal Interconnect (CTI) technology.
CTI is an extension of the Scalable Coherent Interface standard defined
by the IEEE.
CTI cables connect among the CTI controllers on the various cabinets.
An overview of the CTI connections for a four-cabinet V2500/V2600
server is shown in Figure 11.
