Re: Fwd: Configure a 270 - system bus count

Thanks Glenn!

Does a 270 #2253 have two "tower enclosures" because it has
two processors?  Or does it have more?  I have never looked
inside a 270 and the Systems Handbook doesn't clear it up for me.

Does a #7104 System Unit Expansion include one "tower enclosure"
or does it have more than one?
