We consider a K-node queueing system sharing a setup server. Each node has a node server, a waiting position, and a service position, and it behaves as an M/G/1/2 type queue except that each job in the waiting position requires a setup by the setup server to move to the service position. The service discipline of the setup server is nonpreemptive work-conserving random selection. The setup times have a common exponential distribution. The main purpose of this paper is to derive the stationary distribution for the K-node system. For each node, we construct a corresponding setup server queue (CSQ). The stationary distribution of the K-node system is given by a product form of the stationary distributions of CSQs. This result enables us to obtain the stationary distribution of a K-node system by analyzing individual CSQs.
