[comp.sys.next] Multi-headed Cubes

radvan (Don Radvan) (11/29/90)

I know this subject was previously beaten to death, so forgive me.

I would like to know exactly how far I can go in multiheading both 
the new and old cubes with '040 boards. 

Is the power supply on the new cube sufficient to power 4 boards and 
4 monitors? 

How about monitorless boards for compute servers?

I had heard that placing a board in a slot is not much more different than
placing a slab on a network (from a software point of view, that is), is
this so?

It appears to be cheaper to do things this way rather than use a cube
and three slabs (I need a cube with the 1.4 GB drive anyhow).


Your cumulative centuries of experience is much appreciated.
