Triplex 8-Processor System
Triplex 8-Processor System
This triplex configuration has a maximum of eight logical processors with one IOAM
enclosure, and ten Fibre Channel disk modules (four Fibre Channel disk modules in a
typical system):
In this configuration, the tenth Fibre Channel disk module can occupy the 3U space in
place of the combined 2U console and 1U available space. An external PC is then
required for the console.
