enumeration occurs between the three Exadata X9M PCIe slots? Select two
answers.
The quad-port RJ45 10Gb ports are enumerated from top-to-bottom, right-to-left

61. What is the primary reason the X9M racks now use standard-length 3 meter
cables, versus the mixed-length cables on previous platforms?
Higher power draw of X9 servers required more flexibility in PDU group balancing,

Because having extra slack of power cables, in the side-panels and rear of the
cabinet, is attractive.
The extra cable length is required to attach to the neighboring rack.
