RCI is an interface to connect RCI Host  (general name for main units supporting RCI 

and for RCI I/O units).

In this manual, a base cabinet and an I/O unit that support the RCI are referred to as an 

RCI Host and an RCI I/O unit, respectively. Furthermore, RCI Hosts and RCI I/O 

units are generally referred to as RCI device.  

To connect RCI I/O units or to use the RCI asynchronous monitoring functions for an 

FJ cluster, a setup using the RCI setup commands is required in addition to the 

connection with RCI cables.

There are two types of main unit: midrange servers equipped with one RCI and high-

end servers equipped with two RCIs.

I/O units include units equipped with one RCI and units equipped with two RCIs.

The following figures show different RCI connection patterns:
