7.3.2 The K1 Header Block
The TMB12 has a slightly modified default pipeline (connecting the
TRAM slots in a chain using links 1 and 2). This is designed to allow
users to construct complex topologies, whilst maintaining
compatibility with the TRAM standard.
The default pipeline is split into four sub-pipelines by the K1 header
block. By default this header is jumpered such that the four sub-
pipelines are connected together into one long pipeline.
The default pipeline is split at locations: 3-4, 7-8 and 11-12. Also
taken to K1 are two links from the P2 edge connector and one link
from the electronic switches. Figure 63 illustrates this along with the
default connections.
K1 is a 20 pin header block organized 10 by 2 pins. Small jumpers
are used to set the configuration.
