Termination is provided for connection of a second DRd rack when installed in a cross-
bussed application. This termination point is labeled "Dual Racks" on the right I/O board.
An interconnect cable is provided which connects rack 1, which is the rack with the ACP
installed, to rack 2, which is the secondary rack in the cross-bussed rack system. This cable
is labeled at both ends, one end indicating rack 1 and the other end indicating rack 2. You
must have installed this cable to the correct rack for proper operation.
This interconnection of racks allows full control of both DRd racks from only one
Architectural Control Processor (ACP). This may only be used in a cross-bussed rack
application.
