Overview
The IEI PX-14S5 is a robust industrial-grade PICMG 1.0 backplane designed for high-slot-count PCI and ISA expansion in legacy and embedded systems. This 14-slot board is engineered for reliable operation in harsh industrial environments and serves as a central interconnect hub for multi-processor and multi-peripheral configurations in cabinet-mount and rack-mount installations.
Key Features
- 14-slot backplane configuration (7 PCI slots, 6 ISA slots, 2 PICMG 1.0 slots)
- PICMG 1.0 form factor compliance for standard industrial PC architectures
- RoHS compliant for environmental and regulatory compliance
- Support for ATX and AT-class power supplies
- Bridged PCI architecture for multi-card expansion
- Compatible with standard industrial rack chassis (RACK-305G, RACK-360G, RACK-3000G)
