How to read this profile
V51 records position count and pitch only; it does not publish PCIe A/B-side logical assignments, card-outline keying dimensions or motherboard routing.

Recorded variant and source limits
- The card-edge form does not by itself establish PCIe generation, active lanes, bifurcation, electrical compliance, power budget or motherboard behavior.
- Pitch and position count do not constitute a fabrication drawing, slot-compliance gauge or board-layout approval.
- Beckhoff CB1061 PCIe x4 slot: §3.4.6/§3.4.7 numbered A/B contacts. Table header erroneously says x1 within x4 section; explicit x4 section and A1-A32/B1-B32 continuation govern.
- PICMG design-guide x4 reference slot: Source schematic contact identities A1-A32 / B1-B32. The two columns are schematic symbol sides, not a verified mating-face or solder-side view.
Pins & wiring
Pinout
Choose the exact wiring. Pin numbers follow its stated view; a schematic does not establish physical positions. Check your exact device before wiring.
What the status labels mean
- Confirmed
- Recorded research passes agree within this variant; this is not independent human review or hardware validation.
- Single source
- Only one underlying document, or one pass, supports this assignment.
- Device-specific
- Supported for the named equipment or wiring only. Check your device’s manual.
- Unverified
- Missing or conflicting evidence. Do not wire from this row.
- Not connected
- The source explicitly says NC, no contact or no pin for this wiring.
Unknowns stay unknown.
- The card-edge form does not by itself establish PCIe generation, active lanes, bifurcation, electrical compliance, power budget or motherboard behavior.
- Pitch and position count do not constitute a fabrication drawing, slot-compliance gauge or board-layout approval.
