<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connection device which can start up devices, in a relatively short time. <P>SOLUTION: The connection device receives a plurality of circuit boards 2, and determines a different start-up delay time for each circuit board, depending on the number of received circuit boards 2. Then, it outputs a signal associated with the determined start-up delay time to the corresponding circuit board 2, so that each circuit board 2 is so controlled as to start up after standing by, by the start-up delay time which has been output to the circuit board. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
