A backplane printed circuit board attaches to the rear of the card cage (as viewed
from the rear of the unit) and contains two connectors (J1 and J2) for each board
slot. Figure 3–3 shows a card cage layout with the guide rails and backplane
connectors for two VME option boards. A system supporting more option boards has
a similar layout, but differs in size of cage, backplane, and number of guide rails and
connectors. Appendix A lists the J1 and J2 bus signals.
