Processor Communication Channel Addressing
(Original Document)
At a Glance
Following are examples of the different types of addressing for a processor’s communication channels.
The examples are based on a Premium type processor.
The modules have a topological address that is a function of the module’s position in the rack.
Depending on the desired configuration, there may be either a single or double power supply, which occupies 1 or 2 slots in the rack respectively. As a result, the first slot the processor uses is either 0 or 1.
With a Single Power Supply
The power supply occupies one slot. The processor’s communication channels can then have the following addresses:
With a Double Power Supply
The power supply occupies two slots. The processor’s communication channels can then have the following addresses:
