Overview
Scanner I/O Image
Concepts
The scanner’s I/O image consists of RIO logical racks and I/O groups.
A full RIO logical rack consists of eight input image and eight output
image words. (A word consists of 16 bits of data.) Each word within
an RIO logical rack is assigned an I/O group number from 0 to 7.
You assign devices on the RIO link a portion of the scanner’s image.
Devices can occupy a quarter logical rack (2 input and output words),
half logical rack (4 I/O words), three-quarter logical rack (6 I/O
words), or full logical rack. You may configure devices to start at any
even I/O group number within an RIO logical rack. More than one
physical device’s (adapter) I/O information can reside in a single
logical rack. Also, by crossing logical rack boundaries, a device can
consist of more than one logical rack.
