Abstract

Abstract A backplane structure is capable of being mounted with two interface cards for being used in an industrial computer. The backplane structure includes a backplane capable of being connected to a mother board of the industrial computer and having a first side, a second side and a height of 1U (1.75″). A first peripheral component interconnection (PCI) port is provided on an upper portion of said first side, an industry standard architecture (ISA) port having a plurality of terminals on two ends thereof is provided on the lower portion of the second side by soldering so as to form a terminal-less region on the first side. In addition, a second peripheral component interconnection (PCI) port is provided on the terminal-less region on the first side.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 159 words
A backplane structure for mounting two interface cards thereon used in an industrial computer, comprising: a backplane capable of being connected to a mother board of the industrial computer and having a height of 1U (1.75″); a first peripheral component interconnection (PCI) port provided on an upper portion of a first side of said backplane; an industry standard architecture (ISA) port having plural terminals on two ends thereof, and elimination of part of said terminals on a central part of said ISA port provided on a lower portion of a second side of said backplane by soldering so as to form a terminal-less region on said first side; and a second peripheral component interconnection (PCI) port provided on said terminal-less region on said first side, and side-by-side separated away from said first PCI port with a special interval defined large enough to simultaneously accommodate two interface cards in said PCI ports without interference under limitation of said 1.75″ backplane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 159 words
A backplane structure for mounting two interface cards thereon used in an industrial computer, comprising: a backplane capable of being connected to a mother board of the industrial computer and having a height of 1U (1.75″); a first peripheral component interconnection (PCI) port provided on an upper portion of a first side of said backplane; an industry standard architecture (ISA) port having plural terminals on two ends thereof, and elimination of part of said terminals on a central part of said ISA port provided on a lower portion of a second side of said backplane by soldering so as to form a terminal-less region on said first side; and a second peripheral component interconnection (PCI) port provided on said terminal-less region on said first side, and side-by-side separated away from said first PCI port with a special interval defined large enough to simultaneously accommodate two interface cards in said PCI ports without interference under limitation of said 1.75″ backplane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
The backplane structure according to claim 1 , wherein said interval is ranged from 0.8 to 1.5 cm and mounted with two interface cards in said PCI ports, simultaneously.
