PCITHRU Feature Card

The PCITHRU card (style PCI3-FTH) permits expanded use of a server connected CSBus
by allowing the server to be connected to a channel rack slot (internal or external), thus
enabling connection of additional channels to the same CSBus. See Figure 5–8 for a
representative example. Note the PCITHRU card in the internal CS-4/R3 slot used is to
connect Server A to Domain 0. Slot three is depicted since the default jumper position on
the PCI Bridge Boards shipped from the factory is jumper position 4 which corresponds to
a relative channel slot position of three. Slots 1 and 2 can be used, but require a change to
the jumper position on the PCI Bridge card , see Figure 5–9. Also note in Figure 5–8 that
Server B and Server D are connected to CS-3 in Domain 1 via PCITHRU cards installed in
slots A1 and A2 of the Remote Channel Rack.
