US 2004/0064628 A1 · IMPROVED BACKPLANE WITH AN ACCELERATED GRAPHIC PORT IN INDUSTRIAL COMPUTER

Abstract

An improved backplane with an accelerated graphic port (AGP) in industrial computer for electrically connecting a CPU interface card therein. The backplane has at least a first type bus expansion slot, a second type bus expansion slot, a bus bridge device, and an AGP slot mounted thereon. The bus bridge device is designed as converting different-type bus signals between the first type bus expansion slot and the second type bus expansion slot when the first type bus expansion slot receives the CPU interface card therein. By way of the design of mounting the AGP slot and the bus bridge device on the backplane, the volume of CPU interface card can be reduced and therefore does not occupy the demanded space of other adjacent interface cards, and converts a variety of signals from the backplane.

Dependent claims

A backplane applied joined with a CPU interface card to constitute a computer system, the backplane comprising:

a first type bus expansion slot providing a first type bus signal and electrically receiving the CPU interface card to facilitate communications between the CPU interface card and the backplane;
a second type bus providing a second type bus signal;
and
a bus bridge device positioned on the backplane, electrically connected with the first type bus expansion slot to convert the first type bus signal into the second type bus signal thereby allowing communication in different-type bus signals between the CPU interface card and the second type bus.
