  • 2-x4 PCIe I/O Card Slots
  • 2-64-bit/133MHz PCI-X Slots
  • 14-64-bit/100MHz PCI-X Slots
 

The BPX3/14 PCI Express Backplane

The BPX3/14 PCI Express backplane provides electrical connections for a single or dual-processor single board computer, one IOB33 PCIe link expansion module, two PCI Express and fourteen PCI-X/PCI plug-in I/O cards.  The backplane design places the SBC slot near the center of the backplane to enable more efficient air flow in a rackmount enclosure.

Some of the single board computer’s PCI Express links drive the PCIe card slots directly while other links enable the dual-channel PCIe-to-PCI-X bridge chips to interface the PCI-X/PCI slots into the system.  The sixteen option card slots support standard PCIe, PCI-X and PCI plug-in I/O cards typically used in communication platforms.

Key features of the BPX3/14 PCI Express backplane include:

  • Supports one PICMG 1.3 combo or server-class SBC
  • SBC slot located near the center of the backplane improves chassis air flow
  • Supports two PCI Express and fourteen PCI-X/PCI cards
    • 1 –  x4 PCI Express electrical / x16 mech. connector
    • 1 –  x1/x4 PCI Express electrical# /  x8 mech. connector From IOB33 module on the SBC — link width is SBC dependent
    • 2 – 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X
    • 12 – 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X
  • Four, dual-channel PCIe-to-PCI-X bridge chips
  • Long-life backplane with 7+ years of availability enhances system design stability
The BPX3/14 PCI Express backplane is designed, manufactured and supported in the USA.  This 20-slot PCI Express backplane is supported by a 5-year warranty.
