Installation guide

Figure 4–1 shows the options for connecting to a CI. You can use a CIXCD
adapter from the XMI bus or a CIBCA adapter off the optional VAXBI bus.
When you connect to a CI using either adapter, you must set the VAXcluster
node address for the system you are connecting. In addition, when you
connect using a CIXCD, you must set the Quiet Slot DELTA Time to 10 on
all systems (see Section 4.3.2).
Table 4–1 lists the adapters used in connecting to a CI.

The CIBCA resides on the VAXBI bus (see Figure 4–1). The DWMBB adapter con-
nects the VAXBI and XMI buses and is a two-module set. The DWMBB/A is in the XMI card
cage; the DWMBB/B is in the VAXBI card cage.
