4.3 : Electrical specifications
The VP3500 requires VPX +12V and +5V in order to operate plus VPX +3.3V_AUX or VPX_BAT to
power the on-board microcontroller. VPX power rails +12V_AUX, -12V_AUX, +5V and +3.3V_AUX are
routed to the PMC/XMC slots. All other power supplies are generated on the card. The following table
does not include power required for PMC/XMC or MiniPCIe add-in cards.
