Installing Additional Megaplex Boards - Equinox Systems MEGAPLEX Hardware Reference Manual

Installing Additional MEGAPLEX Boards

Additional MEGAPLEX host controller boards may be installed in a
computer. And, MEGAPLEX subsystems may be freely intermixed
with Equinox MEGAPORT products. (MEGAPLEX/2 subsystems
may be freely intermixed with MEGAPORT/2 and MEGAPLEX/RS
subsystems may be freely intermixed with MEGAPORT/RS.)
For Micro Channel (MEGAPLEX/2 [/RS] and MEGAPORT/2 [/RS])
boards, simply install the additional boards in empty slots in the
computer. There is no interconnect cable for Micro Channel boards.
Keep the following in mind when installing additional MEGAPLEX
host controller boards:
MEGAPLEX board #1 is always the board which is installed
in the slot closest to the power supply. When facing the
front of the computer, subsequent MEGAPLEX boards are
installed to the left of previously installed MEGAPLEX
boards (next to the non-component side of the installed
board).
Be sure MEGAPLEX board #1 is installed according to the
directions outlined in the previous paragraph under the
heading Installing a Single MEGAPLEX Board.
