FAQ

Q: What is the difference between 204-040-100-011, 012 and 013?
A: 204-040-100-011 = ABE040 basic rack; 012 = ABE040 variant; 013 = ABE042 enhanced rack with extra slots and better cooling, not fully pin-to-pin compatible.

Q: Can ABE042 run VM600 IOC4T / XMV16 cards?
A: Yes, all standard VM600 signal and CPU cards are compatible, but the backplane bus definition is different from ABE040, cannot mix racks.

Q: Does it include power supply and I/O boards?
A: No, 204-040-100-013 is only the empty rack + backplane; RPS6U power and monitoring cards are sold separately.
