EX200 modules and the backplane of the power supplies (the BPL200S-SPS backplane) are
plugged, and it is the card that provides the fundamental communication of the system. On
the backplane, there are 9 card connection slots for EX200 cards and one connection slot for
CPU200S. Besides, there is a connector for the SPS backplane.
The figure below shows structure of the BPL200M backplane and the connectors on it.
