EXP-BP4 Subplane

Figure E-3. EXP-BP4 Subplane

The EXP-BP4 subplane is used to couple an
EPC-8A processor module, two TXM
modules, and an EXP-MX Mass Storage
module.

The EXP-BP4 is a T-shaped board with four
connectors on the front side and three on the
rear.

After jumpering the backplane, plug the
subplane into the VMEbus backplane such
that the P2 connector on the back of the
4-row DIN is pressed into the J2 connector
of the left-most VMEbus slot that the
EPC-8A subsystem will occupy.

The EXM slot numbers are shown in the
drawing.

Insert EPC-8A in
these two slots
