Genius Redundancy
(PACSystems™ RX7i and Series 90™-70.) A redundant Genius system contains
duplicate components that are controlled in a way that keeps the Genius system
operating properly even if one of the duplicate components fails or is taken out of
service. Redundant Genius systems can be used in combination with Series 90™-
70 redundant CPU systems.
You can configure five types of redundant Genius systems:
Genius Dual Bus Redundancy (Paired GBC Internal)
Genius Dual Bus Redundancy (Paired GBC External)
Genius Dual GBC Redundancy (Paired GBC Internal)
Genius Dual GBC Redundancy (Paired GBC External)
Genius Dual Bus & Dual GBC Redundancy
CPU Redundancy Over Genius
(Series 90™-70 only.) A CPU Redundancy Over Genius system contains duplicate
components that are controlled in a way that keeps the system operating properly
if one of the duplicate components fails or is taken out of service.
Five types of CPU Redundancy Over Genius systems can be built upon the various
types of redundant Genius systems combined with the basic CPU Redundancy
schemes.
