1.3.3 Graphics Interface Module (GIM_RW)
The Graphics Interface Module provides the interface between the Hbus cable from the
AlphaStation system and the rest of the modules in the deskside chassis. All three
PowerStorm 1000 graphics subsystem configurations require a Graphics Interface Module.
The Graphics Interface Module bulkhead has one Hbus connector for connecting the Hbus
cable. The GIM_RW also contains the de-compaction engine. Figure 1-4 shows the
Graphics Interface Module.
