1.1 About the MC1 Board

The MC1 board is an MVIP multi-chassis interconnect card which conforms to the MC1 specification and contains an MVIP switch. MC1 boards resident in different PCs are connected by an MC1 bus cable. The MC1 board switches data between the MVIP bus and the MC1 bus allowing MVIP boards in one PC to communicate with MVIP boards in another PC.
Figure 1. An Example MC1 System
The MC1 board resides in an ISA standard bus slot and connects to the MVIP bus via a 40-conductor ribbon cable (MVIP bus cable). MC1 boards are connected together with a SCSI-3 type cable. The two ends of the MC1 bus are terminated with a SCSI-3 terminator.
