System Backplane
The system backplane board contains the following components:
Two crossbar chips (XBC)
Clock generation logic
Preset generation logic
Power regulators
Two local bus adapter (LBA) chips that create internal PCI buses for communicating with
the core I/O card.
The backplane also contains connectors for attaching the cell boards, PCI-X backplane, MP core
I/O cards SCSI cables, bulk power, chassis fans, front panel display, intrusion switches, and
external system bus adapters (SBA) link connectors.
