Chapter 9: Meridian Link/CCR interface cabling 219

Input/output cables

The Application Module has two types of I/O cable. These include

¥internal cables that connect circuit cards to disk and tape drives within the Application Module

¥external cables that connect the Application Module to the Meridian 1, the system console, and application terminals (if applicable)

Internal I/O cables

Internal cables interconnect components that are not connected through the VME bus backplane. Table 77 lists the Application Module internal cables. Figure 58 shows the internal cabling scheme.
