Wow! Cool! Looks like you have a W9042 Extender Board
which is
specifically described as part of the FP11-A Option in my KK11-A tech
manual and by association, one is also part of the KK11-A cache option.
The manual mentions: "The W9042 Extender board Assy. is stored in the
backplane and used for some maintenance operations."
Great...
When you have to use an extender board to troubleshoot
the adjacent M8265
in a cache-option-only system, the W9042 plugs into the top connector on
the M8268 Cache module and then the over-the-top connector plugs the two
together. If troubleshooting the M8268, then the W9042 is plugged into
the top conn of the 8265 and the o-t-t conn board connects both together.
Neat!
Aha... that was the missing piece... having one of the boards on an
extender... it all makes sense now...
Same for troubleshooting the systems with both cache
and FP11 options
except two W9042s are used.
I actually seem to remember another one somewhere in my collection,
I'll have to check someday to see if it is...
I've got an extra set of them too plus a cache. No
spare FP11 tho. Notice
how heavy that FP11 is? Sure is a lot of 'stone' in all those AMD 2901s!
Yep... :-)
