PLATFORM DESCRIPTION

The CSX6000 is a high density, modular, central-site communications platform. It utilizes a built in CPU with 90 MHz Pentium processing.

The CSX6000 is a rack-mountable platform. The front panel has the activity indicators for power- on and disk activity, an air-intake grill, and a peripheral access door, which may be latched or locked closed. The diskette drive, control buttons, and an LCD display are located behind the access door. On the back of the chassis, the rear panel has mountings for a RS-232 serial port, and connectors for a keyboard and monitor.

The CPU is located in the center of the chassis in the one ISA + PCI slot (labelled slot 1 in the back panel illustration). There are nine additional ISA slots for adapters to the right of the CPU board. However, because of power and cooling restrictions, we limit the number of usable adapter slots to seven (one for a LAN adapter, and up to six for WAN adapters).
