System Specifications
The basic unit of the GS80 system consists of a single cabinet that contains one
or two drawers (QBBs), power supplies, a PCI box, and a storage shelf.
Additional I/O and storage facilities are accommodated in an expander cabinet
attached to the system unit.
In the GS160/320 line, the basic system is the GS160. It consists of a power
cabinet and system cabinet 1. The power cabinet contains the power supplies,
the I/O components—the PCI boxes and storage shelves—and the OCP
(operator control panel). System cabinets house one or two system boxes. Each
system box has two QBBs that are paired back-to-back and rotated 180

with
reference to each other.
The basic system can be upgraded to contain two system boxes. An upgrade to
three or four system boxes requires the addition of system cabinet 2 (GS320).
