Option Board Configurations
This section provides information on option board configurations. The
module unit has 8 external openings that can accommodate option boards.
One of these openings is reserved for the SBC, the remainder can be used by
a mixture of cPCI options (refer to Figure 22). Consult the manuals for the
SBC for any additional requirements concerning power, adequate airflow
provision, and any other matters. You can install various combinations of
cPCI option boards onto the Force Computers ModuSys Product Family
backplane (1). Installation of the SBC can only be made in the SBC
connectors (B) located on the backplane (refer to Chapter 2).
Note:
•
The blanking panels of the enclosure have a series of gaskets that
must connect with the gaskets of options cards. Take care when
inserting the option cards so that they connect with these gaskets. If
the option cards do not make proper contact with the gaskets,
unacceptable electromagnetic interference may be caused. Care must
also be taken when removing or installing the option cards.
