VITA SYSTEM - KEYING • Injector/Ejector locking handles (IEEE 1101.10) • EMC front panels (IEEE 1101.10) • ESD features (IEEE 1101.10) This specification laid the groundwork for High Availability and Live Insertion (Hot Swap) VME standards, then on to increased bandwidths up to 320MB/sec. All old legacy boards that comply with IEEE-1014-1987 are considered to be VME64 compliant and are identified as VME64 compatible. All these new boards work in conjunction with the old legacy boards providing a smooth upgrade path for system integrators. Thus the VMEbus continues to grow and support diverse...
