Both bus segments are connected to each other by a bridge circuit which includes at least one CPU adapter card. The invention is characterized by two bridge members each of which has an I/O unit and a CPU unit which are fixedly connected to each other. They are insertable in the bus segments with the I/O units inserted in one bus segment and the CPU units inserted in the other bus segment.
