What are Groups?
The key to flexibility in Cubix Systems is the backplane. It is installed in the bottom of the system, and determines how many plug-in computers can be installed.
Backplanes are divided into "groups". Each group consists of a configuration of PCB slots (similar to ISA or PCI bus connectors on a motherboard). One slot in each group is dedicated for a plug-in computer. Additional slots are available for third party boards such as internal modem, fax boards, or additional LAN adapters.
Each group on the backplane is an individual computer system. It is electronically independent of all other groups, and can be powered on or off, or reset independently with controls on the front panel of the Density System.
The Density System backplanes can hold up to 4 dual SMP or 8 single processor Pentium computers, or combinations of both plug-in computers. There are three backplane configurations available.
4X DP Backplane
Configured with 4 groups. Supports up to 4
independent DP Series (dual-SMP) plug-in computers.
Each group contains:
8X SP Backplane
Configured with 8 groups. Supports up to 8 independent SP Series plug-in computers.
Each group contains:
2X DP + 4X SP Backplane
Configured with 6 groups. Supports any combination of up to 4 independent SP Series and 2 DP Series (dual-SMP) plug-in computers.
Group 1-4 contains:
