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: <http://www.kuggie.com/ahra/pix/DSC00027.jpg> Thanks, Kevin
