Connecting to the host
The data connection between P
ROCESSOR
and O
MNI
B
US
is established with a link interface cable. It connects the
respective link interface card in the P
ROCESSOR
[19-24] ( Figure 3-5 ) with the link interface card in the O
MNI

A12
[9] ( Figure 3-8 ) and in the OmniBus A18 [6] ( Figure 3-11 ) respectively with a round cable.

The cable between host and OmniBus is fragile. It may not last under tension, or being bent
or twisted.
Connecting several OmniBus devices
In the P
ROCESSOR
AGS-3389 there are four PCI slots for link interface cards available. With AGS-3328 five link inter-
face cards can be used. The respective number of O
MNI
B
US
devices can be connected to one P
ROCESSOR
. Each O
MNI-
B
US
is connected in the manner explained above.
Order
The link interface cards are inserted in the PCI slots of the P
ROCESSOR
following the network cards in the slots with
the lower numbers. If more than one O
MNI
B
US
is connected, they are numbered in the sequence of the PCI slots.

The Processor expects the primary graphic adapter in the first OmniBus. Therefore the
OmniBus that is connected to the link interface 1 must be equipped with graphic cards.
