Chapter 3 Backplane
3.1 General Information
There are two backplanes models that are compatible with the MIC-3043
series. MIC-3043A, MIC-3043C and MIC-3043D support the H.110 CT
bus backplane, the MIC-3811. The MIC-3043B supports a non-CT back-
plane MIC-3812. Both backplanes provide six CompactPCI slots with
one slot dedicated to the CPU board. The MIC-3043 supports front I/O
wiring, providing simplified system cabling. The backplane also provides
several 3-pin connectors to connect a hot-swappable cooling fan module.
The MIC-3043 complies with PICMG 2.1 Hot-Swap Specification, pro-
viding full hot-swapping capability. Users can build a hot-swap system
using hot-swap plug-in boards and software.
