Subplanes
Subplane Installation
A subplane is a printed-circuit board with connectors on both sides. A subplane provides
several functions. Primarily it acts as the PC/AT bus. Additionally, it provides power from
the VMEbus backplaneVME to the EPC-8A and expansion modules.
Depending on the particular EPC-8A subsystem configuration, a specific subplane may
need installing. Locate the appropriate subsection for the subplane you are using either by
name or by picture. Follow the directions in the appropriate subsection.
EXP-BP1 Subplane
Figure E-1. EXP-BP1 Subplane
This subplane is used in the smallest
configuration, where a single-slot EPC-8A
processor is used by itself.
The EXP-BP1 is a rectangular-shaped board with
two connectors, on each side.
No backplane jumpers are required.
