1.1 Basics of PRIMEQUEST
The system interconnect is a bus with the crossbar function, which sends and receives
addresses and data between SBs or between an SB and IO_Unit. Two types of boards
compose the system interconnect: the Xbar address interconnect (XAI) for the address
bus, and the Xbar data interconnect (XDI) for the data bus. The XAI and XDI are
duplicated to increase the reliability of each bus.
The MMB is connected to each component in the cabinet and manages hardware as a
whole. The MMB is also duplicated to increase its reliability.
The GSWB, an optional product, is a switching board used to construct a business
LAN. One GSWB has eight 1000Base-T ports.
The GSWB also can be duplicated to increase its reliability.
