The
PCI/ISA passive backplane standard moves all of the components
normally located on a motherboard to a single plug-in card.
A PCI/ISA CPU (central processing unit) card has two edge
connectors on it - one for the PCI bus and one for the ISA
bus. The "motherboard" is replaced with a simple
"passive backplane" that has only connectors for
the bus to plug in to. The PCI/ISA backplane is simple and
robust, supporting a high MTBF.
Diversified
Technology's PCI/ISA based solutions are more maintainable
than a conventional motherboard system and have a much lower
mean time to repair (MTTR). They are easily upgradeable and
provide configuration control for longer product lifetimes.
