Approved American National Standard
ANSI/VITA 65-2010
OpenVPX™ System Specification
Abstract
The OpenVPX System Specification was created to bring versatile system architectural
solutions to the VPX market. Based on the extremely flexible VPX family of standards, the
OpenVPX standard uses module mechanical, connectors, thermal, communications protocols,
utility, and power definitions provided by specific VPX standards and then describes a series
of standard profiles that define slots, backplanes, modules, and Standard Development
Chassis.
Approved June 2010

American
National
Standard
Approval of an American National Standard requires verification
by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and
other criteria for approval have been met by the standards
developer.
Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board
of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by
directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement
means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily
unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be
considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their
resolution.
The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary;
their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether
he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing,
marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures
not conforming to the standards.
The American National Standards Institute does not develop
standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of
any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have
the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American
National Standard in the name of the American National Standard
Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the
secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this
standard.
CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be
revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American
National Standards Institute require that action be taken
periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard.
Purchases of American National Standards may receive current
information on all standards by calling or writing the American
National Standards Institute.
