6. Optional System Configurations
6.1 Power Supply Options
The design of this backplane allows for several different power supply options:
1. The default configuration of a single compatible pluggable power supply.
2. Addition of compatible pluggable power supplies installed either to the left or right of the
backplane.
3. Use with an ATX-type power supply
4. Use with any external power sources compliant with the PICMG 2.11, R 1.0, CompactPCI
Power Interface Specification with regards to input voltage requirements.
Option 1 is the standard configuration which is delivered with a 47-contact female Positronic
type power supply connector.
Option 3 requires the installation of an ATX-type, 20-contact, female connector. If required, this
option must be specified when ordering as the board in the standard configuration is not pop-
ulated with this connector.
To satisfy options 2 and 4 provisions have been made on the backplane for adding power ter-
minals as required. Several different types of terminals may be installed. Bolt-type terminals
may be installed in all terminal positions. The square form set of terminal positions allow also
for the use of a variety of press-in terminal types. All terminals must be ordered separately.
Option 2 can be achieved through the use of special power supply adapter boards which can
be mounted either to the left or right of the backplane. These boards which accommodate plug-
gable power supplies are connected to the backplane terminals through the use of strapping
bars. In addition, the system monitor and control signals can be extended via JP11 or JP12 to
the power supply adapter boards using appropriate cabling. This configuration allows for addi-
tional power supplies to be added which satisfy system requirements such as redundancy,
power sharing, or simply increasing available power.
Option 4 allows for directly connecting DC power to the board via the optional terminals
whereby either terminal set may be used as needed.
6.2 System Addon Options
The CP3-BP8-P47-RIO backplane is designed to allow the installation of another backplane to
the right of it in a sub-rack and at the same time maintaining the slot raster. This feature makes
it possible to add additional slots to a single system using appropriate hardware or for accom-
modating two separate systems in one sub-rack.
