Rules for the Combinations
The following rules apply for expansions from left to right after a CPU or application
module (slots n + 1, n + 2, n + 3 or n + 2, n + 3, n + 4):
1. Up to 3 EXM 478 expansion modules
2. Max. 1 MSM 478 mass storage module
(that is, always after the CPU 486-3, CPU 488-3, FM 456, or EXM 478)
3. Up to 3 ATM 478 AT adapter modules
(that is, always after the CPU 486-3, CPU 488-3, FM 456, EXM 478, or
MSM 478)
In total, a CPU or application module can be expanded with up to three modules.
