SERVSWITCH™ AFFINITY
With daisychained 8-User models, if all of your users are connected to just two
chassis, a split bus is one way for all of the users to access all of your CPUs. In this
case, two cables carry video buses toward one set of as many as four users, and two
cables carry video buses toward the other set. (Be careful how you set user-port
numbering in this topology.) Figures 3-10 and 3-11 show the 8-User versions of the
standard and custom split bus. We don’t recommend 16-User split-bus topologies.
