The I/O Board

The I/O board is located under cover 1 and is shown in Figure 4-2. The I/O board
contains:

The Remote Management connector, linking the I/O board to the external
connector on the rear panel.

The I/0 Memory slot, which contains cache memory used by the Intel
i960RD I/O processor.

The SE SCSI connector, which services any single-ended SCSI device
installed in the internal (non-hot-swap) trays.

The PCI Board slots, which are eight connectors that accept PCI boards.

The ISA Board slot, which accepts a single ISA board. This slot is shared
with PCI slot 1. Either slot can be occupied, but not both.

The two SCSI connectors, A and B.
