Supply voltage range
The following ranges are defined by the VME64 specification ANSI/VITA 1-
1994 for VME64 and ANSI/VITA 1.1-1997 for VME64 Extensions. The
voltages have to be measured at the backplane.

Supply
Voltage and tolerance
+5 V
5.0 V +0.250 V / -0.125 V
+5 V STDBY
5.0 V +0.250 V / -0.125 V
+3.3 V
3.3 V +0.150 V / -0.050 V
+12 V
12.0 V +0.60 V / -0.36 V
GPIO 0...7
This general purpose I/O pins can be used as inputs, with following signal
levels:

voltage
low
-0.5 V ... +0.8 V
high
+2.0 V ... +3.45 V
When used as outputs, the following signal levels are supplied:

-0.4 V at 6 mA sinking

Isolation
The Isolation of the Ethernet outputs whether front or rear is limited to 500 V
peak against GND and any other supply voltage.
By itself the onboard digital ground GND and the front panel/chassis frame
ground FGND are isolated on the VR11 with a layout distance of more than 0.3
mm in all PCB layers. However, most standard devices (keyboard, mouse, and
monitor) except Ethernet will connect FGND and GND directly in the device.
Also standard racks (our starter cage too) connect both grounds at the power
supply for safety reasons.
