With each design, a conditional routing can be made on the PCB to determine the best package and pin-out. Rules allow designers to define such parameters as leaving corner pins unused, keeping differential pairs together, how to distribute power and ground, how to handle data and address busses, etc.

The flexibility of the VPX board architecture (VITA 46), although a strength of the high-speed replacement for the venerable VME bus, also led to tremendous variation between different VPX module signal types and proprietary pin-outs. As a result, it became apparent, as system designers began to implement new system designs in the early days of the adoption of VPX, that a high percentage of these new VPX applications required custom backplane connectivity for interoperability between specific modules.

HP would not say if it is using the new Opteron HE or Opteron EE low-power variants of the chip in the blades, but the odds favor it, particularly since the regular Opteron chips and the HE and EE variants have the same pin-outs as the regular (and hotter) Opterons.
