#2843/#9943 PCI IOP
The #2843/#9943 is an PCI I/O processor with 64 MB of memory that drives PCI IOA
adapters on Models 820, 830, 840, SB2, and SB3, on the #5075 PCI Expansion Tower when
attached to the Model 820, the #5074 PCI Expansion Tower, and the #5079 1.8m I/O Tower.
Up to five feature #2843 PCI IOPs may be added to the Model 820 System Unit. The #5075,
when attached to a Model 820, can contain or support up to three feature #2843 PCI IOPs.
On Models 830, 840, SB2, and SB3, a PCI IOP is not embedded on the backplane, but a
#9943 PCI IOP is included as “base” with the system. Up to four feature #2843 PCI IOPs may
be added in the system unit of Models 830 and 840. Up to two feature #2843 PCI IOPs may
be added in the system unit of Models SB2 and SB3. On the #5074 PCI Expansion Tower, a
PCI IOP is not embedded but a #9943 PCI IOP is included as “base”. Up to six feature #2843
PCI IOPs may be added to a #5074.
On the #5079 1.8M I/O Tower, a PCI IOP is not embedded but two #9943 PCI IOPs are
included as “base”. Up to 12 feature #2843 PCI IOPs may be added to the #5079.
Note: #9943 may only be on initial system orders or on MES orders add #5074 or #5079
towers to an installed system. The maximum number of #9943s installed on a system is one
in the system unit plus one in each #5074 plus two in each #5079.
The following IOAs are supported (driven) by the embedded PCI IOP (Model 820) and the
#2843/#9943 PCI IOP:
• #2743 - PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet IOA
• #2744 - PCI 100 Mbps Token Ring IOA
• #2763 - PCI RAID Disk Unit Controller 2 Port (Model 820 only)
