III.1.C. BACKPLANE OF POWER SUPPLIES–BPL200-
SPS
Definition:
The SPS200 and SPS248 power supply modules are connected to the BPL200-SPS
backplane.
The BPL200-SPS cards in the main rack and in the auxiliary racks are almost the same
except a slight difference. The BPL200-SPS backplane end of the cable, which provides
connection between the BPL200-SPS backplane and BPL200-MAIN in the main rack, has
been fixed to the backplane. On the other hand, that end has not been fixed to the backplane
in the auxiliary rack; it is rather connected to the card by a connector.
The figure below shows the connectors on BPL200-SPS and their explanations.
1 Inter-rack SPS Connector 5 Special connector for inter-rack cabling
2 Inter-rack SPS Connector 6 SPS200 Connector
3 BPL200 Backplane Connector 7 Alarm Connector
4 SPS248 Connector
BPL200-SPS has been mounted between the upper and lower back parts in the metal rack.
The connectors on BPL200-SPS completely correspond to the module slots in order to
facilitate plugging of the SPS200 and SPS248 modules.
Dimensions of the BPL200-SPS backplane are 12 cm x 9 cm and it weighs 0.1 kg.
