System Bus Options
The system bus interconnects the CPUs, memory modules, and
the optional PCI expansion I/O module. It is the hardware
structure through which data processed by the microprocessor is
transferred throughout the system.
Figure 3–2 shows the location of the system bus and system bus
options. To access the system bus options, remove the system
cover. Refer to Figure 2–5 and the accompanying text before
removing the cover. Be sure to reattach the four cover screws
before attempting to power up the system again.
Caution
Do not remove the cover when the system is running. If
you do, the system will power down and you may lose
data.
