Overview
8
Chassis with
Segmented
Backplane
In a 7-slot segmented backplane chassis, you can install up to six
TurboStack hubs (i.e., one Master and five manageable modules). The
seventh slot is available for a switch.
The 7-slot TurboStack department concentrator chassis incorporates a
factory-installed
segmented
backplane, shown inFigure 4.
In a department concentrator configuration with segmented backplane,
the Master unit provides management for each lower-level module (except
the switch in Slot 7) through the management bus. The flow of data
between (to/from) each port on an installed hub module and the network
backbone is governed by the switch module in the bottom chassis slot. (As
shown in Figure 4, the backplane receptacle for the switch module is offset
from the other backplane receptacles.)
