The combination of a CPU card and a backplane is more or less equivalent with a mainboard. The main advantages of the application of a backplane solution are the many different designs as well as the wide range of slots. Our backplanes are perfectly adapted for our CPU cards and fit the designs PICMG 1.3 and PICMG 1.0 as well as our half size designs PICOe (PCI+PCIe x4), PCISA and ISA. You have the choice between models with minimum 3 and up to 20 slots.
