and the
HP-HSC I/O Bus Converter
together serve the same function as the upper
bus converter on 990/992/890, 991/995/T500, and 996/T520 Systems. The HP-PB I/O Bus
Converter is attached to the
HP-HSC I/O Bus Converter.

manual, system-specific configurations will be noted where applicable (for example, as 99x
