4.2 System Drawer Architecture
The system drawer houses a QBB consisting of a backplane that
supports four CPU modules, four memory modules, two power modules
and two I/O riser modules. These modules are identical to those used in
the box systems. The global port is part of the backplane. In a two-
drawer system, the drawers are linked by a distribution board.
