The BPX8093 PCI Express backplane, when paired with a PCIe 3.0 capable single board computer like the BXT7059, delivers PCI Express Gen3 link speeds and expanded I/O card bandwidth to military computing, industrial automation, medical diagnostics, communications or GPU computing applications. This backplane supports one PICMG® 1.3 single board computer and up to ten PCI Express I/O cards and nine of these option card slots are PCI Express 3.0 capable. Each option card slot uses a x16 PCIe mechanical connector to maximize system design flexibility by supporting a wide range of standard PCI Express I/O cards.
