■ Link card
If PCI cards mounted in all the IOUs are not sufficient in number, this card serves
as a card for connecting an external I/O expansion unit that is used for mounting
additional PCI cards.
The PHP function enables active maintenance of link cards.
A filler panel may be mounted in a PCICS.
FIGURE 13-1 indicates the PCI slot locations in an IOU cabinet. For information on the
