The RH11 controller consists of a dedicated 9-slot backplane in which the RH11 modules are seated.

Notes  (see RH11 backplane image).

1. UNIBUS A IN.

may be either M920 (connection from adjacent device) or BC11A cable (connection from other box or non-adjacent device).

2. UNIBUS B IN and OUT.

may be M9300 (termination at beginning or end of UNIBUS B) or BC11A cable (connection to other BUS B devices).

3. UNIBUS A OUT.

may be either M920 (connection from adjacent device), M930 (termination at end of UNIBUS A) or BC11A cable (connection to next box or non-adjacent device).

4. G727 Bus Grant Continuity (slot 7-8-9).

The Grant modules must be inserted at position D in all three slots. Basically, the slots 7-8-9, positions C thu F are Small Peripheral Controller (SPC) slots. However I have a bulletin that says that the SPC slots may not contain any controllers because of the power drain via the backplane. Since they are SPC slots they require a G727 in position D.

The RH11/TE16 subsystem has the following diagnostics:

 
The (x) represents the revision level.

Loading or toggling in this data enables the PDP to boot from the TE16 tape.

    How to load a bootstrap program and start the execution.

The start address is 001000.
