2.6.2 E-Keying
The AXP640 supports the shelf management infrastructure with a process called E-Keying.
E-Keying replaces the mechanical connector keying method used in earlier backplane designs.
E-Keying prevents damage to blades, prevents misoperation, and verifies fabric compatibility.
E-Keying entries are present as FRU information in the shelf FRU and all blades present in the
shelf. The E-Keying entries describe the Base Interface, Fabric Interface, Update Channel
Interface as implemented by the shelf and blades. E-keying allows blades that support different
PICMG 3 standards to be used in the same shelf.
