Chapter 1 Getting StartedNI PXI-1031/PXI-1031DC User Manual 1-6 ni.comDC Power Cable (PXI-1031DC Only)An optional DC power cable is available from National Instruments toprovide power through the DC input connector on the rear panel of thechassis.PXI-1031/PXI-1031DC Backplane OverviewInteroperability with CompactPCIThe PXI-1031/PXI-1031DC backplane is interoperable with 5 V anduniversal PXI-compatible products and standard CompactPCI products.This is an important feature, because some PXI systems may requirecomponents that do not implement PXI-specific features. For example,you may want to use a standard CompactPCI network interface card in aPXI chassis.The signals on the backplane P1 connectors meet the requirements of theCompactPCI specification for both peripheral and system modules. Referto Appendix B, Pinouts, for pinout information.The PXI-specific signals are on the backplane P2 connectors and arefound only on those signal lines reserved or not used in the CompactPCI64-bit specification. Therefore, all modules that meet the requirementsof the CompactPCI 64-bit specification will function in thePXI-1031/PXI-1031DC. Refer to Appendix B, Pinouts, for pinoutinformation.The chassis backplane has +5 V V(I/O). Refer to the CompactPCISpecification PICMG 2.0 R 3.0 for details regarding V(I/O).System Controller SlotThe system controller slot is slot 1 of the chassis as defined by the PXIspecification. It has three controller expansion slots for system controllermodules that are wider than one slot. As defined in the PXI specification,these slots allow the controller to expand to the left to prevent the controllerfrom using peripheral slots.
