 PCI-X/PCI PARALLEL BUS SLOTS
Three PCI-X slots (SLTA1, SLTB1 and SLTB2) on the BPX6719
are connected to the SHB via a x4 PCI Express link (B0) via a PCI
Express-to-PCI-X bridge chip. The bridge chip supports SLTA1
with a 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X interface and SLTB1 and SLTB2 with
a 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X interface. These slots support PCI-X and
universal PCI option cards, (i.e. 5V/3.3V combo or 3.3V only).
The bridge chip will throttle-down the bus interface speed to
match any card that has a speed capability less than the
supported bus interface speed of a specific PCI-X backplane slot.
OPTIONAL USB 2.0 INTERFACES
The SHB Express specification defines optional I/O routings from
the SHB to the backplane. Trenton’s BPX6719 takes advantage
of this new specification feature by providing two USB 2.0
headers capable of providing up to four USB 2.0 backplane ports.
OPTIONAL ETHERNET INTERFACE
Trenton’s BPX6719 backplane supports the optional Ethernet
routing feature of the SHB Express (PICMG 1.3) specification.
One 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 connector is available for
use on the backplane. The SHB OPTIONAL BACKPLANE I/O
SUPPORT TABLE explains the backplane I/O capabilities
supported by Trenton’s PICMG 1.3 System Host Boards.
POWER CONNECTORS
The standard BPX6719 backplane is available with a low-profile
right-angle power connector suitable for use with either an ATX or
EPS power supply. An optional BPX6719 is available with
straight-in or vertical power connectors. Using straight-in power
connectors may interfere with a full-length option card placed in
the SLTB1 slot.
POWER INDICATORS
Surface-mount LEDs provide a convenient visual check for +5V,
-5V, +5V AUX,+12V, -12V and +3.3V power connection and
status. CAUTION: Never install or remove the SHB or any option
card from the BPX6719 backplane if the +5V AUX LED is
GREEN. If the system appears to be off and the+5V AUX LED is
GREEN, you need to remove or turn off the incoming power to the
system power supply.
AUXILIARY POWER CONNECTOR
The +12V power connector on the BPX6719 provides for routing
auxiliary power to the SHB’s edge connectors. This new
capability of PICMG 1.3 compliant SHBs and backplanes
eliminates the need for auxiliary power connections on the system
host board.
PRINTED CIRCUIT LAYERS
The backplane is a six-layer, .062” thick board with three separate
signal layers: +5V/+12V, +3.3V and ground. Multi-layer backplane
construction provides excellent noise immunity.
CONNECTING POWER
A new approach is required to connect system power due to the
combination of new power supply technologies and the soft-
power control signals available via the Advanced Configuration
and Power Interface (ACPI). ACPI signals are now supported by
PICMG 1.3 SHBs and backplanes. Auxiliary power connectors
located on the PICMG 1.3 backplanes now deliver all of the
power directly to the edge connectors of the SHB.
Auxiliary power connectors on the backplane are provided to help
improve system Mean Time To Repair (MTTR). All power can be
delivered to the SHB via the board’s edge connectors. Trenton’s
PICMG 1.3 SHBs and backplane SHB edge connector slots have
ample power pins available to meet the power demands of high-
performance dual-processor SHBs. The ATX/EPS and +12V
power connectors on the BPX6719 backplane also have an
ample number of power pins available to meet these demands.
The system designer needs to be aware of the potential power
demands of the entire system, including the particular SHB, to
ensure that both the power supply and the power connectors in
the cable harness can safely deliver the necessary power to drive
the entire system.
Specific implementations of ACPI signals, ATX/EPS power supply
type and the operating system software will determine the
specific connection method for the power supply. For example,
the use of the Power Good (PWRGD), Power Supply On
(PSON#), Five-Volt Standby (5VSB) and the Power Button
(PWRBT#) ACPI or soft power control signals require the
following connection method:

ACPI signal usage is optional and may be turned off using the
SHB’s BIOS and/or signal jumpers. Specific power connections
and BIOS parameters will differ depending on unique system
design requirements. Refer to the Appendix B (Power
Connection) and Advanced Setup BIOS sections found in the
Technical Reference Manual for your specific Trenton system
host board for more information.
