You can connect a maximum of four port modules per port bus as shown in Figure 2.5.
Figure 2.5: SST-64P PCI Adapter with Four Port Modules Connected using HBCs
Using EBCs
You can place port modules farther than the supplied 4-foot (1.2m) HBC allows by replacing the
HBC with an EBC. As shown in Figure 2.6, a group of four port modules are located 100 feet
(30.5m) from the host computer using an EBC. EBCs may be used when the host computer is
located away from the wiring closet where all the peripheral cables are. When you attach port
modules to an EBC (not an HBC), it is mandatory to supply power to the port modules using the
optional power supply PS-4. For more information, see
Power Options
on page 10.
