The XBU has a normal mode and a degraded mode. In normal mode, all eight sets
operate; and in degraded mode in which a failure has occurred, the four sets
containing the failed set are disconnected, and operation continues with the
remaining four normal sets. If an XB fails, the system is shut down to disconnect
the four sets including the failed XB, and it is then automatically recovered.

A dedicated LSI chip is used for the crossbar switch (XB).
