To build a Rack PC, we start with a Backplane. The Backplane for a CV-series
PC is illustrated below.
The Backplane has two functions: it provides physical support for the Units that
are mounted to it and it provides the connectors and electrical pathways neces-
sary for connecting the Units.
The first device we will mount to the Backplane is a Power Supply Unit. The Pow-
er Supply Unit fits into the rightmost slot on the Backplane and provides electric-
ity at the voltage required by the other Units in the PC. It can also be used to
power devices other than the PC if necessary and it enough current is available.
The CPU is mounted next to the Power Supply Unit. The CPU fits into the posi-
tion directly to the left of the Power Supply Unit.
