Plug and Play

Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) system architecture has a
design feature termed Plug and Play. This feature automatically
detects, identifies and configures the currently installed devices
each time the system is booted. Therefore, whenever an adapter
card is installed (or removed) in a PCI system, the card is recog-
nized and configured immediately upon restart.

Connector Panels

IBM Serial I/O Connector Panels (CP) provide sixteen RS-232
interfaces. There are two types of CPs available from IBM as shown in
Figure 2. The CP-16 DB has sixteen male DTE connectors (Figure 3).
The CP-16 RJ has sixteen 10-wire female RJ-45 connectors (Figure 4).
