The Internal Back Plane
The back plane of the series 8000 rack system is typically hand wired at the factory. Channels
configured as blanks are normally left unconfigured because it is not always specified as to
what will be in a slot in the future. In designing the series 8000 modules some standards have
been adhered to accommodate expansion. The diagram in figure 12 details physical pin
locations for the standard Eurocard connector. Table 2 gives the electrical standards used for
designing compatible modules. Figure 15 is a template used for special wiring to the back
plane. See the section on Adding Additional Modules for information concerning expansion.
When connecting other 3rd party equipment to the Series 8000 you must take care to avoid
drawing to much power from the supply and/or adding additional noise to the output from the
system (especially with digital cards such as A/D, D/A, or CPU).
