- Each cabinet contains:
- One or more 4-node cliques, one or more 2-node cliques, or a combination of 4-node and 2-node cliques. The number of nodes and cliques in a cabinet may be limited by the type of power used (A, B, C, or D).
- Two server management switches
- BYNET switches, if required by the configuration

In a multi-system configuration, the first processing/storage cabinet may optionally contain the following:- A second or third 2800 or 2850 system (either a 4-node or 2-node single-clique system) in addition to the primary system.
- One or two 680 systems (with one processing node and one disk array each).
- A combination of one additional 2800 or 2850 system (either a 4-node or 2-node single-clique system) and one or two 680 systems.
The number and location of optional components in a cabinet depends on the type of power used (A, B, C, or D), the location of 4-node and 2-node cliques, and the location of other optional components. Refer to the Cabinet Builds section of this guide for limitations.
- Platform Framework Cabinet (PFC)
A Platform Framework Cabinet can be used to hold additional components if there is insufficient space in the system cabinet, or if components, such as an ECS, need to be located in a different location. The PFC can also be used to support system configurations that require a dedicated Service Workstation (SWS) server and/or Viewpoint server.
For more information, see the Teradata Platform Framework Cabinet Model 12 Product and Site Preparation Guide, B035-5388 for the PFC cabinet delivered with your system. Teradata product and site preparation documentation can be accessed at: http://www.info.teradata.com.
The Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance 2850 platform is made up of one or more processing/storage cabinets, depending on the system configuration:
