Tech Specs

Model Number

HDB8259

Form Factor

HDEC Series large format backplane supports one dual-processor HDEC Series SHB and up to fourteen PCI Express option cards. All card slots are designed for the Gen3 PCIe electrical interface and are equipped with x16 PCIe mechanical connectors and I2C isolation. Five of the HDB8259 backplane slots connected directly to the processors on the HEP8225 system host board. Four of these slots feature PCI Express x16 PCIe electrical interfaces and the other direct-connect slot has a Gen3 PCIe x8 interface. The backplane’s five remaining slots are driven by the SHB with a x8 electrical interface dynamically routed to each of the five slots via a 20-port PCIe Gen3 switch.

Mechanical

Board dimensions: 16.4″/416mm x 12.9″/328mm
The nominal backplane thickness is 0.080”; however, the backplane mounting holes are recessed 0.018” on the bottom to provide an effective PCB thickness of 0.062” for use in the chassis design process.

Size

16.4″/416mm x 12.9″/328mm

Configuration

Four x16 PCI Express, ten x8 (all x16 mechanical) slots, and all card slots are PCIe Gen3 capable.

Note 1:  The x16 and one x8 slot are driven with native PCIe 3.0 links direct from the two processors on a compatible, dual-processor HDEC Series system host board such as Trenton’s HEP8225.

Note 2:  Backplane slots PCIe2, PCIe4, PCIe6 and PCIe8 are each driven with a dedicated x16 PCIe Gen3 link from one of the SHB’s processors.

Note 3:  Backplane slot PCIe1 is driven with a dedicated x8 PCIe Gen3 link from one of the SHB’s processors.

Note 4: The x16 PCIe interface card slots are placed in alternate backplane slot locations in order to physically and thermally accommodate double-wide PCIe plug-in cards such as the Telsa class of GPUs from NVIDIA.

Note 5: The remaining PCIe x8 electrical slots are connected to the board’s processors via an 80-lane/20 port PCIe 3.0 switch.

Card Slots

4 – x16 PCI Express 3.0/2.0/1.1 electrical / x16 mech. connectors
