The backplane provides high-current selection capability (designated as V(I/O)) for conn ecting
V(I/O) to either the +5V or +3.3V power supply. V(I/O) must be connected either to the +5V or
the +3.3V input power. Selection is accomplished by installation of an M3 bolt in either one or
the other of the two holes provided for this purpose. The following figure illustrates how a
selection of +5V V(I/O) is achieved.

It is the responsibility of the system integrator to ensure that the required signalling voltage is
implemented and that the backplane P1 connector coding corresponds to the implemented
signalling voltage.
Warning!
Using both 3.3V and 5V boards within the same system may result in
damage to your equipment. Please note that the presence of only one
5V board determines a 5V signalling environment. The default setting
is 5V.
4.2P1 Connector Coding for V(I/O)
The CompactPCI Specification foresees coding of the P1 connector to correspond to the signalling environment of the PCI bus. For this reason, only boards with universal or the corresponding coding can be physically inserted into the backplane. The factory default setting for
V(I/O) is +5V and male, 1567 code, brilliant blue coding keys are used.
Warning!
Using boards with an inadequate signalling voltage may result in damage to your equipment. Therefore, when changing the signalling environment from 5V to 3.3V or vice versa, it is mandatory that proper
coding keys are used (refer to chapter 3 of the CPCI Backplane Manual, ID 24229, for details).
The V1 ... V4 output voltages from the power supply unit to the backplane are connected via
power bar elements to the respective supply terminals of the power distribution backpla ne and
the CP3-BP4-PB-RIO backplane. The power bars themselves are specifically designed to fit
the backplane raster and allow additional backplanes to be integrated into a customized
designed system to satisfy almost any application requirements.
5.2System Monitor and Control Connectors JP11 and JP12
This backplane is provided with two connectors for system monitor and control signal interfacing to external devices. Both are 26-contact, male, double pin-row connectors, and have the
same signal pinout configuration. The system management bus (IPMB0), the power supply
monitor and control signals, and push button reset (PRST#) signal are all implemented on
these connectors.

The signal pinout assignment is a function of the power supply actually utilized
with this backplane. Refer to the corresponding power supply documentation for
the applicable signal pinout.
6.Optional System Configurations
6.1Power Supply Options
The design of this backplane allows for several different power supply options:
1. The default configuration of a single compatible pluggable power supply.
2. Addition of compatible pluggable power supplies installed either to the left or right of the
backplane.
Option 1 is the standard configuration which requires the integr ation of a single CP-ADAP-P47PB (3U or 6U) power bar adapter.
Option 2 can be achieved through the use of power bar adapter boards which can be mounted
either to the left or right of the backplane. These boards which accommodate pluggable power
supplies are connected to the backplane terminals through the use of power bars. In addition,
the system monitor and control signals can be extended via JP11 or JP12 to the power supply
adapter boards using appropriate cabling. This configuration allows for additional power supplies to be added which satisfy system requirements such as redundancy, power sharing, or
simply increasing available power.
6.2System Addon Options
The CP3-BP4-PB-RIO backplane is designed to allow the installation of backplane(s) to the left
or right of it in a sub-rack and at the same time maintaining the slot raster. This feature makes
it possible to add (an) additional backplane(s) using appropriate hardware for accommodating
multiple system configurations in one sub-rack.
