Unified Chassis meaning TX on top
Control Shelf and Rx etc on bottom.
Most chassis' were set-up this way, so please read on - and answer again.
A Unified Chassis is a chassis that _is not_ made up of separate
rack-mounted units. The Non Unified Chassis is exactly what it says it
is. Each of the units (the TX, control shelf, and RX) are separate and
connected together electrically with a 50 conductor ribbon cable. The
Unified Chassis has a Back-Plane Board that is tall enough to 'reach'
the TX and RX compartments, and no ribbon cable exists.
The Unified Chassis is easily identified as having "sloping" covers on
the TX and RX.
Here's a picture of a Unified Chassis:
