There is one block of three high-current terminals (designated as V(I/O)) for connecting 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. 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 backplane segment
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. PEP’s 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).
5.Interfaces
5.1Power
Bolt type terminals are provided for inputting DC power to this backplane. These terminals are
primarily designed for extending the DC power busses, but they can also be used with nonpluggable power supplies for providing primary DC power input. Refer to Figure 2 for termina l
locations.
The backplane can be optionally equipped with two connectors for supplying power for fans
and for connecting a fan speed control device. JP21 (FAN1), is a 3-contact male connector
which supplys +12V for fan operation as well as the possibility to connect to a speed control
device for regulating air flow within the system sub-rack. JP22 (NTC1), is a 2-contact male
connector which provides a separate connection for a speed control device and is designed to
be used in conjunction with JP21.
For fans that have their own speed control or where no control is required, pins 1 and 2 of
JP21 can be used. For external speed control of fans, pins 2 and 3 of JP21 and pins 1 and 2
of JP22 are used. Pin 3 of JP21 and pin 2 of JP22 are connected internally on the board side
to each other.
External air flow regulation can be accomplished using a negative thermal coefficient (NTC)
device connected to JP22.

One 4-pole Molex male connector, JP4, can be optionally equipped on the backplane for the
connection of mass storage devices (drives) to the +5V/+12V power supply of the bus.
5.5System 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 CP6-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.
