1378.0. "PEswitch 900TX - IMPORTANT Configuration info !" by NAC::ALLEN () Tue Sep 06 1994 09:08

    NOTE: there is NO front panel FDDI connection on the PEswitch 900TX -
    until FDDI TREE connections are supported in the DEChub backplane, it is
    necessary to bring FDDI INTO the DEChub backplane via a DECbridge 900MX/ 
    DECswitch 900EF or a DECconcentrator 900MX and OUT of the DEChub 
    backplane via a DECbridge 900MX or a DECconcentrator 900MX if a 
    connection to an external FDDI network is desired - in other words, TWO 
    DECbridge or DECconcentrator modules are needed for external connections 
    to a dual ring.  
    
    When there is firmware support for FDDI TREES in the DEChub back-plane 
    in the future, only ONE DECswitch 900EF or DECconcentrator will be
    required for tree configurations)
    
    NOTE: Careful evaluation of the power requirements of the modules in
    a full DEChub configuration should be done when using one or more
    DECswitch 900EFs since these devices consume more power than an average
    module
