Function In addition to central expansion, the AG/P Parallel Expansion Module
adds length to the peripheral bus, using drivers and short cables. It per
mits the use of a larger number of expansion units.
Configuration It is possible to use up to 3 AG/Ps in the basic unit. This will always require
a marginal analysis as to power consumption and address range.
Two female connectors on the front panel of each module permit the con
nection of two central expansions. For this purpose, the AG/P is installed
in the basic unit in the place of the AG/Z Central Expansion Module. The
AG/P is connected to an AG/Z Central Expansion Module of the expan
sion station (3 expansion units max.) through standard interconnection
cables.
