This eliminates cabling between the controller and I/O board.
Slots 5 and 6 on PCI Bus 2 are shared with an embedded dual-channel SCSI controller (SCSI
ports 2 and 3).
Slots 3 and 4 on PCI Bus 1 are shared with the Standard Peripheral Board.
The aggregate peak data transfer rate across the three PCI buses is 532 MB/s.
Because of the
high bandwidth of the three PCI buses, PCI bus load balancing is not required.
The system interlocks provide a closed-loop checking mechanism for verifying proper component
mating and cabling interconnects between critical server components.
Three LEDs on the I/O
board can be used to isolate improperly mated components.
To protect critical components, the
server will not power up if the interlock is broken.
