Local, RIO and DIO Configuration

Overview

Valid Quantum configurations can be equipped with a combination of:

Quantum CPUs
Power supplies
I/O interfaces
Expert modules
I/O modules

Local, RIO, and DIO Configuration Table

The following table provides valid Quantum configurations, including racks and modules.

If Configuration Type Is	Rack Types (Typical) Are	Required Modules Are	Optional Modules Are	Modules Not Permitted Are
Local	6, 10, 16 slots	Power Supply CPU	RIO Head, I/O, NO•*	RIO Drop, DIO Drop
RIO**	6, 10, 16 slots	Power Supply RIO Drop	I/O	CPU, RIO Head, DIO Drop NO•*
DIO	2, 3, 4, 6 slots	DIO Drop	Power Supply, I/O	CPU, RIO Head, NO•*
* NOM, NOA, and NOE ** Remote I/O is typically used for large (number of modules) drops 6, 10, or 16 slot racks. Distributed I/O is typically used for small drops using 2, 3, 4, or 6 slot racks.

NOTE: Every Quantum module requires power from the rack (except power supply and DIO modules). For a valid configuration, add up the required rack current (in mA) for every module, and verify that this number is less than the available power in the selected power supply.
