High-Speed Bus Extension
You can extend the high-speed bus by using the Ethernet or Token Ring bus extension. The
Ethernet and Token Ring bus extension is required when your network requirements exceed
four chassis per node.
The standard bus is also extended by grouping three chassis, using the Hypercom Type HB2
cable, and connecting these groups using the Ethernet or Token Ring bus extension. Refer
to CHAPTER 4, Type HB2 for more information about the Hypercom Type HB2 cable. Figure
5-10 illustrates the Ethernet high-speed bus extension.

Note: The TDM bus is also extended via the Type HB2 cable in the IEN 2000 chassis.
