XPAC/XPAB Autosensing Computer Interface Card
XPAC
Autosensing CPU
Interface Card
An XPAC card provides the interface from the xP Chassis to a single computer. Each
XPAC can be jumpered to handle a type of computer including: PC, SUN, MAC, SGI, HP,
RS-6000. The cable specific for the computer is connect to the 44-pin plug on the rear of
the XPAC and provides video, keyboard and mouse interfaces, minimally. Some cables
also provide serial and multimedia cables. One XPAC or XPAB (see below) is required per
computer attached to an Autoboot Commander 4XP. One set of cables is also required
per XPAC.
XPAB
Deluxe Autosensing CPU Interface Card
With Reboot Port
An XPAB card provides the interface from the xP Chassis to a computer. As with the XPAC
Card, the XPAB can be configured, through jumpers, to handle a specific type of
computer. The XPAB, unlike the XPAC provides the ability to flash upgrade the chips on
the board when a firmware upgrade occurs. The XPAB also provides a single Reboot Port
for connecting an RB-3 Power Module (see below) for controlling power to the attached
system.
Autoboot Commander 4XP
XPRB/RB3 Power Control
Maximum configuration functionality features consolidate and centralization of systems. A
key component of the centralization is Power Control of attached servers through the
keyboard. This supports both local power control as well as remote power control when
using KeyView. To hold costs to a minimum with a maximum of features, the XPRB
Boards are configured with XPACs instead of the more per-port-expensive XPAB boards.
A single XPRB board can support up to six (6) RB-3 Power Control units, each associated
with a specific 4XP channel. The Console Administrator can merely toggle into command
mode and type "REBOOT" to physically turn off power of the attached server instead of
having to be physically in front of a system. An RJ-11 cable runs from the XPRB Board to
the RB3 Module; Wall Power is run to the RB-3 module and from the RB-3 to an attached
computer or any device.
