PXI-1036/PXI-1036DC Backplane Overview
Interoperability with CompactPCI
Note
The PXI-1036/PXI-1036DC backplane is 32-bit PCI. 64-bit CompactPCI cards will
operate in 32-bit mode in this chassis.
NI PXI-1036/PXI-1036DC User Manual
An optional DC power cable is available from National Instruments to
provide power through the DC input connector on the rear panel of the
chassis.
The DC power cable uses an F30A 500 VDC/600 VAC, 1.5 in. × .41 in.
(10 mm × 38 mm) Midget fast-acting fuse on the positive (+) wire of the
cable. For more information on fuses used, including recommendations for
custom cabling, refer to the
section of Chapter 3, Maintenance.
The PXI-1036/PXI-1036DC backplane is interoperable with 5 V and
universal PXI-compatible products and standard CompactPCI products.
This is an important feature, because some PXI systems may require
components that do not implement PXI-specific features. For example,
you may want to use a standard CompactPCI network interface card in a
PXI chassis.
The signals on the backplane P1 connectors meet the requirements of the
CompactPCI specification for both peripheral and system modules. Refer
to Appendix B, Pinouts, for pinout information.
The PXI-specific signals are on the backplane P2 connectors and are
found only on those signal lines reserved or not used in the CompactPCI
64-bit specification. Therefore, all modules that meet the requirements
of the CompactPCI 64-bit specification will function in the
PXI-1036/PXI-1036DC. Refer to Appendix B, Pinouts, for pinout
information.
The chassis backplane has +5 V V(I/O). Refer to the CompactPCI
Specification PICMG 2.0 R 3.0 for details regarding V(I/O).
