Chassis Signal Mother Board
4600 SERIES MAINFRAME
One of several different possible matrix configurations can be
supplied by jumpering the 4600/8(8x2) Switch Modules and/
or the Chassis Motherboard as shown in Fig. 2. The matrix is
passive and bidirectional, and any input can be routed to any
output without interrupting previously connect I/O paths.
STANDARD MATRIX CONFIGURATIONS
Each Switch Module is assembled with a total of 128 two pole
Type A relays. The module's basic configuration arranges
the relays as eight separate 2x8 two pole matrices. However,
individual 2x8's may be interconnected via built-in jumpers to
furnish many different configurations as required. For example,
jumpering all eight 2x8's creates a 2x64 two pole switch mod-
ule, and installing the maximum of 16 switch modules into
one chassis (with a standard motherboard) results in a 32x64
two pole matrix.
