B.6 I/O Boards

There are several types of I/O boards.

The SBus I/O board includes two ASICs. Each ASIC provides two SBuses.
Three SBus slots are available on this board for plug-in boards. The remaining
SBus slots are used for onboard devices such as 10/100 Mbit/second twisted-
pair Ethernet, Fast/Wide SCSI, and Fiber Channel interfaces. See Figure B-7.
