It also contains the switching power supply, which generates +3.3 Vdc and +2.5 Vdc from +5 Vdc, hot-swap circuits, and battery backup unit (BBU) circuits. • Ethernet (optional): The ethernet circuit board provides an ethernet interface to the controller, and connections for debug and out-of-band service to the host and device PCI busses.

host and device fibre channel input/output processors (IOPs).
I/O:
The I/O circuit board provides the interface to the disk
drive enclosure (device) and host as well as general support
functions. It also contains the switching power supply, which
generates +3.3 Vdc and +2.5 Vdc from +5 Vdc, hot-swap
circuits, and battery backup unit (BBU) circuits.
Ethernet
(optional): The ethernet circuit board provides an
ethernet interface to the controller, and connections for debug
and out-of-band service to the host and device PCI busses.
The RAID Controller requires a minimum of two circuit
boards: the controller and I/O. The controller and I/O
circuit boards are connected using two 38-pin
controlled impedance connectors. The controller, I/O,
and ethernet circuit boards are assembled into a stack
with the controller and ethernet boards mounted to a
controller cover plate and the I/O board mounted to
the controller board. When the ethernet circuit board
is used, it is mounted to the controller circuit board.
Figure 4-1 shows the three circuit boards in their
relative positions.
