PXI-1006 Backplane Overview

Interoperability with CompactPCI

The PXI-1006 backplane is interoperable with PXI-compatible products

and standard CompactPCI products. This is an important feature, as many

PXI-compatible systems may require components that do not implement

PXI-specific features. For example, you may want to use a standard

CompactPCI network interface card in a PXI chassis.

The signals on the P1 connector of the backplane meet the requirements of

the CompactPCI specification for both the peripheral and system modules.

The PXI-specific signals are located on P2 and are found on only the

signals that are reserved or not used in the CompactPCI 64-bit

specification. Therefore, all modules that meet the requirements of the

CompactPCI 64-bit specification will function in the PXI-1006.

The PXI-1006 has three PCI bus segments linked via two 64-bit PCI-to-PCI

bridges. The PCI bus segment divisions are represented on the front of the

chassis by vertical bars. See Figure 2-1 for the PCI segment divider

locations.

Figures 2-1 and 2-2 show some of the key features and components of the

PXI-1006 chassis. Figure 2-1 shows the front view of the PXI-1006.

Figure 2-2 shows the rear view.
