PICMG 1.0 Backplane PICMG GENERAL DESCRIPTION PICMG Backplanes in this section are Single Board Computers (SBCs) and Single Host Board (SHB) companions that feature expansion slots such as ISA, PCI, PCI-X or PCI Express interface. In addition, the backplane also features several power connectors that draw power from power supply to devices on it. Some LEDs are designed on board to indicate status of each power rail. PICMG 1.0 supports both ISA & PCI, PICMG 1.2 supports dual PCI or PCI-X, and PICMG 1.3 supports PCI Express and PCI expansion. Some bridges or switches can be applied to the backplane to support more devices or different kinds of expansion interfaces. However, PICMG 1.0, 1.2, and 1.3 are not compatible with each other.
