Fig. 4−34 Parallel Expansion Module AG/P
In addition to central expansion, the AG/P Parallel Expansion Module
adds length to the peripheral bus, using drivers and short cables. It per
mits the use of a larger number of expansion units.
It is possible to use up to 3 AG/Ps in the basic unit. This will always require
a marginal analysis as to power consumption and address range.
Two female connectors on the front panel of each module permit the con
nection of two central expansions. For this purpose, the AG/P is installed
in the basic unit in the place of the AG/Z Central Expansion Module. The
AG/P is connected to an AG/Z Central Expansion Module of the expan
sion station (3 expansion units max.) through standard interconnection
cables.
