1.3 Module Descriptions

The PowerStorm 1000 graphics subsystems are made up of several different types of
modules. These modules are described in the following sections.

1.3.1 Workstation Interface Board (WIB_P1)

The Workstation Interface Board is a single-slot PCI board that is keyed for a universal
PCI slot and is installed in the AlphaStation system. It provides the interface between the
AlphaStation system and the graphics subsystem through an Hbus cable that connects to
the Graphics Interface Module in the graphics subsystem deskside chassis. All three
PowerStorm 1000 graphics subsystem configurations require a Workstation Interface
Board. The Workstation Interface Board bulkhead has one Hbus connector for connecting
the Hbus cable. Figure 1-2 shows the Workstation Interface Board.
