Abstract
The data processing system includes I/O units for transmitting and receiving data, control units for processing the data, and a common bus unit including a common bus. Function cards in each unit are daisy-chained to I/O buses having characteristics to support hot-swapping, and both ends of the I/O buses are terminated with resistors respectively. The units are daisy-chained to the common bus, and both ends of the common bus are terminated with resistors respectively. Drivers/receivers drive each bus to transmit and receive data between the common bus and the I/O buses.
