Page 29: Pin And Socket Connectors
Model 6476 User Guide 3 • System Architecture Pin and socket connectors The connection between boards and backplane is through a two-piece, 2 mm connector. Backplanes use male (pin) connectors and plug-in boards use female (socket) connectors. This pin and socket connector offers greater reliability, particularly when subject to shock, vibration, or temperature variations. -
Page 30: J1/P1 & J2/P2 Connectors
The CompactPCI bus spans the J1/P1 & J2/P2 connectors, with 32-bit PCI implemented on J1/P1 and full 64-bit PCI implemented on J2/P2 on the Model 6476 Midplane. J1/P1 is always devoted to 32-bit PCI in CompactPCI systems, however, use of J2/P2 for 64-bit PCI can be optional. For instance, in a 3U system, J2/ P2 may be defined for user I/O, or sub-buses like the CT H.110 bus. - Page 31 Model 6476 User Guide 3 • System Architecture 8 6U slots—horizontal orientation Alarm module slot Power connector (for Power Entry Module DC or AC) Fabric Slot Geographic Address (FSGA) DIP switch S3 J2 (VIO) J3 (+5v) J1 (+3.3v) Shelf Geographic...
