16 CHAPTER 1: PRODUCT OVERVIEW Role and function The MBUS system is powered by 5 V from the MBUS on the fabric. The 5 V power on the two fabrics are redundant to each other. Each MBUS module is attached to the MBUS, which contains two control lines: MBUS0 and MBUS1. Each card has an independent MBUS module, those on the fabrics are primary MBUS modules, and those on application modules are secondary MBUS modules. When the fabrics operate in redundancy mode, the MBUS module on the active fabr
