Local I/O riser module

Local primary CPU

Local testing

Memory directory module

The I/O riser module that is on the QBB backplane.

The CPU chosen to be the primary CPU in a QBB.

Testing confined to the QBB on which the CPU doing the testing resides.

See Directory module.

OCP

Operator control panel; used by the operator to control

 

the system. It has a keyswitch, display screen,

 

indicators, and buttons. The keyswitch is used to power

 

the system up or down or to secure it from remote

 

access. The screen displays messages during booting.

 

Indicators show system state. The buttons reset or halt

 

the system.

Partition

A subset of a system’s CPUs, memory, and I/O that

 

runs its own copy (instance) of an operating system.

 

See also Hard partition, Soft partition.

PBM

PCI backplane manager; monitors and manages the

 

environment and components in the PCI box in which it

 

resides.

PCI backplane

See PBM.

manager

 

PCI expansion box

A PCI box without a standard I/O module, console

 

ports, and storage devices.

PCI master box

A PCI box containing a standard I/O module plus

 

console ports and storage devices.

PCI box

An enclosure that provides 14 PCI slots (four PCI

 

buses, two four-slot buses and two three-slot buses). A

 

master PCI box contains a standard I/O module with

 

the system control manager microprocessor, console

 

ports, storage devices, and logic for the control panel.

 

For redundancy, a secondary PCI master box also has

 

these capabilities. PCI expansion boxes do not have the

 

standard I/O module, console ports, storage devices,

 

and control panel logic.
