Notes
A MPC4
Mk2
module must have an IOC4
Mk2
module installed directly behind it in a VM600
Mk2
/VM600 rack.
In a VM600
Mk2
/VM600 system rack (ABE04x), one or two RPS6U rack power supplies can be installed. The rack
can have two RPS6U rack power supplies installed for different reasons: in order to support rack power supply
redundancy or in order to supply power to the modules/cards. Refer to a VM600 machinery protection system
(MPS) hardware manual for further information.
