To time-synchronize two SmartNICs, they must be connected via a time synchronization cable. The connection between the SmartNICs can be made externally by using the connectors on the I/O brackets.
Connect the relevant time synchronization cable to the relevant external time synchronization connector (see Time Synchronization Connector Specifications) on the front plate of the SmartNIC.
