English term or phrase:backplane
Definition from Javvin Technologies, Inc.: Backplane is the physical interface module in many network devices such as a route or a switch that connects between an interface processor or card and the data buses and the power distribution buses inside a chassis.
Example sentence(s):
Backplanes are normally used in preference to cables because of their greater reliability. In a cabled system, the cables need to be flexed every time that a card is added to or removed from the system; and this flexing eventually causes mechanical failures. A backplane does not suffer from this problem, so its service life is limited only by the longevity of its connectors. Wikipedia
If an FC-AL backplane filler panel is installed, remove the three Phillips screws securing the filler panel to the backplane and remove the filler panel from the system. Sun Microsystems, Inc.
If you are using a standard AT power supply and want 3.3V on the backplane, you can specify the on-backplane 3.3V power supply option. embedded-pc.microbus.com
Definition: Placa de circuito (por lo general, una placa de ciruito impreso) que conecta varios conectores en paralelo uno con otro, de tal modo que cada pin de un conector esté conectado al mismo pin relativo del resto de conectores, formando un bus de ordenador.
Definition from own experience or research: Placa de circuito (por lo general, una placa de ciruito impreso) que conecta varios conectores en paralelo uno con otro, de tal modo que cada pin de un conector esté conectado al mismo pin relativo del resto de conectores, formando un bus de ordenador.
Example sentence(s):
Para la consecución de la escalabilidad se pensó primero en el empleo de un backplane mejorado, llamado Superbus, pero pronto se observó que no existía ningún bus capaz de realizar lo que se deseaba, se cambió entonces la filosofía de trabajo y la denominación de Superbus a SCI. - Universidad Politécnica de Valencia
