Note the type of network connections to be used, and make sure that the correct cabling and hardware will be on site during installation. Although network adapters are ordered and provided with systems, the customer is expected to supply the cabling and external hardware for the following:
- Ethernet adapters (see the cable lengths section in this guide)
- HCA adapters (see the HCA cables section in this guide)
Customers can order BYNET adapter cables from Teradata, or supply their own. Customers who supply their own cables must strictly adhere to the specifications. (See the BYNET V4 fiber optic cables section in this guide.)
All other cables and hardware are supplied during staging. Cabling kits are also available.
