Example Builds: IntelliFlex 2.x System Expansion with Analytics Nodes
IntelliFlex 2.x build graphics show standard configuration blocks on the left side of the image. Columns on the right show allowed positions for systems using a combination of 1U nodes and 2U node/server chassis.Placement of chassis must follow the install build rules without exception to adhere to power constraints for the respective power types.
