About Carrier Cards and Carrier Boards

Carrier cards and carrier boards have slots for other modules. Intelligent carrier devices have a local processor. Non-intelligent carrier devices, or slaves, connect the modules via a bus bridge to a larger host bus. Carrier cards and carrier boards are available in a variety of clock speeds and bus widths. The clock speed is the speed at which the microprocessor executes instructions. The bus width describes the number of bits that the bus can transmit at one time in parallel.
