Conventional PCI Bus
Conventional PCI Bus Compatibility
This board (PCI) can be inserted in a standard PCI slot inside a computer. It is compliant with the PCI Local Bus specification, revision 2.3.
- 64-bit, 66 MHz, 3 V and 5 V signaling
- The PCI edge connector is 64-bit wide. It operates at a maximum of 66 MHz and accepts any signaling system, either 3 V or 5 V.
- These boards can be used in a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slot with any signaling. If the board is installed in a 32-bit slot, the available bandwidth for transfer will be reduced by half.
- These boards can be used in a 33 MHz or 66 MHz PCI slot as well as in a 66 MHz, 100 MHz or 133 MHz PCI-X slot. Installing the board on a 66 MHz or faster bus will restrict the bus to Conventional PCI at 66 MHz for all agents installed on this bus.
Conventional PCI Bus Power Supplies
As per the PCI Local Bus specification, revision 2.3, the following power supplies are mandatory on the motherboard PCI connectors:
- +3.3 V
- +5 V
- +12 V
- -12 V
According to the board specification, only some of these power supplies are required for the board and/or the system and cameras powering. This board (PCI) requires the +3.3V and the +5V power supplies for its operation. It may require the +12V when +12V power is delivered to an external device attached on the System connector.
