Page 12: Power Options
Expansion Modules may draw power from the host computer through the 4-foot (1.2m) Host Cable. Host power is available to the Expansion Modules only when the 4-foot (1.2m) Host Cable is installed and Expansion Modules are mated directly together. IBM Serial I/O 128P Expandable Subsystem Hardware Installation Manual... - Page 13 The Expansion Modules attached to the Expansion Bus (not host bus) Cables must be externally powered using a separate power supply. If an EBC is installed, this optional power supply is purchased separately and must be connected to the first (left most) module on the Expansion Bus (see Figure 1-8).
- Page 14 Cluster Multiplexers draw power from a Power Adapter supplied in the Multiplexer Set, which plugs directly into any convenient wall outlet (see Figure 1-10). Figure 1-10.

EBC Port Assignments IBM Serial I/O 128P Expandable Subsystem Hardware Installation Manual... - Page 23 Before connecting an EBC to the right side female connector on an Expansion Module, two studs (contained in each Module hardware accessory packet) for securing the Cable jackscrews must be attached to the Module connector. Insert the two studs into the holes as shown in Figure 3-5.
- Page 24 When distances between Expansion Modules exceed 200 feet (61m) or when the peripheral devices are located in a different building, a Multiplexer Set should be used. Refer to the Serial I/O Multiplexer Installation section (Chapter 4) for this information. IBM Serial I/O 128P Expandable Subsystem Hardware Installation Manual...
