Page 269: Glossary
The I/O assembly contains I/O cards such as network cards. There are two styles of I/O assemblies: PCI and CompactPCI. There are four I/O assemblies in the Sun Fire 6800 system and two I/O assemblies in the Sun Fire 4810/4800/ 3800 systems. The Sun Fire 3800 system, which has two I/O assemblies, supports only the CompactPCI I/O assembly.
Page 270 I/O assemblies together. In the Sun Fire 4800 and Sun Fire 4810 systems, you need only one Repeater board. However, in the Sun Fire 6800 system, the Repeater boards work in pairs. In the Sun Fire 3800 system, the equivalent of two Repeater boards is integrated into the active centerplane.
