Methods of connection include using QCPort Interconnect Cable, QCPort Backplane,

Long Run, or any combination of the three.

Physical Placement

When planning the connection, care should be taken as to the physically placement of

the devices. Considerations include:

• Grouping IO to utilize the Backplane.

• Grouping devices that only use the QCPort Interconnect cable.

• Changing media as little as possible.

For most applications, it will be possible to require only one change in media.
