Packard Bell 5800, ST8000 manual Configuration Modules

Configuration Modules

The DEU is available in two bus configurations which is determined by the configuration module installed.

The Dual-Bus module provides for a split bus design, while the Single-Bus module connects both SCSI buses together that can be used when all drives are required on one SCSI bus.

The Single-Bus module is larger in physical size than the Dual-Bus module and is easily identified by a description silk-screened on the module card. It is located on the backplane printed circuit board and is accessed from the rear door panel.

The configuration modules are installed at location JP1 on the backplane PCB. The connector is keyed and the module will install only one direction. For illustration purposes, the tower system is used to depict the location of the modules.
