Passive And Active Backplane Brochure - Chassis Plans

Chassis Plans backplanes support PCI Express™, PCI-X, PCI and ISA option cards and come in a variety of form factors and slot patterns. We have standard backplanes that are SHB Express™ (PICMG® 1.3) compatible to support PCI Express™ and PICMG 1.0 backplanes that support PCI/ISA architectures. PCI-X option cards are supported on Chassis Plans’ SHB Express and select PICMG 1.0 backplanes. All Chassis Plans’ backplanes are engineered to ensure that controlled impedance conditions exist regardless of the application's option card loading requirements. Demanding system applications require backplanes that perform and we meet that challenge with reliable designs and dependable product delivery from our quality-driven U. S. manufacturing plant. .

Chassis Plans’ single board computer design expertise extends to custom-engineered backplane solutions. Our latest custom backplanes support PCI Express and fabric networks based on InfiniBand and StarGen. Advanced Switching is an example of the constant evolution of system architectures. Our standard and custom products will continue to evolve to meet the needs of advanced system designs. Shown below is a representative sampling of our backplanes. On the back cover is a chart listing our standard backplanes. Contact us to discuss a backplane solution that best meets your system design requirements.

SBC OR SHB (SYSTEM HOST BOARD) SLOT:

SHB EXPRESS™ - SERVER-CLASS BACKPLANES:

POWER CONNECTORS:

Accepts a PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG®) 1.0 or 1.3 compliant processor.

Server-class backplanes are designed to maximize the number of high-bandwidth PCI Express links between the System Host Board and the SHB Express backplane. Typically, server class backplanes use these high-bandwidth links to electrically support a combination of x8 and x4 PCI Express option card slots or devices. The letter "X" in the Chassis Plans model name indicates a server-class backplane: BPX3/14.

Various connector options are available to bring power to the backplanes: • Standard ATX and EPS connectors • Terminal blocks • .156 MTA connectors • Extended-current connectors

PCI EXPRESS™ SLOTS: Provides mechanical support for x16, x8, x4 and x1 PCIe option cards. Graphics or Server class PCI Express link support.

PCI-X BUS SLOTS: Supports 64-bit PCI-X option cards at bus frequencies of 133MHz, 100MHz or 66MHz.

PCI LOCAL BUS SLOTS: The PCI backplanes support 32-bit/33MHz, 64-bit/33MHz or 64-bit/66MHz option cards.

ISA SLOTS: Supports standard ISA Bus option cards.

PCI/ISA BACKPLANES: Supports 32-bit and/or 64-bit PCI Local Bus slots that enable either 66MHz or 33MHz option cards. The 64-bit/66MHz PCI Local Bus requires +3.3V power for proper operation. ISA bus support is also available.

SHB EXPRESS™ - GRAPHICS-CLASS BACKPLANES: Graphics-class backplanes typically provide one x16 and either one x4 or four x1 PCI Express links between the System Host Board and the SHB Express backplane. Graphics-class backplanes use these links to electrically support a x16 and either one x4 or four x1PCI Express cards or devices. Chassis Plans backplane model names with a "G" indicate a graphics-class backplane: BPG4.

PCI-X/PCI BACKPLANE: Provides 64-bit PCI-X Local Bus slots that support 133MHz,100MHZ or 66MHZ PCI-X option cards. The PCI-X Bus requires +3.3V power for proper operation. PCI bus support is also available.

EXTENDED-CURRENT CONNECTORS: These optional connectors provide a typical current capacity of 120 Amps on the +5V input lines. This feature is available on selected models; some backplanes support higher current ratings. Contact Chassis Plans for additional information.

+12V AUXILIARY POWER CONNECTOR: On most Chassis Plans backplanes the connector accepts either a 4-pin or 8-pin +12V power supply connection. Using an SHB Express backplane eliminates the need for +12V connectors on the system host board.
