	P10	Ground	2nd mate
	P11	Reserved	The pin corresponding to P11 in the backplane
			receptacle connector is also reserved
			The corresponding pin to be mated with P11 in
			the power cable receptacle connector shall
			always be grounded
	P12	Ground	1st mate.
	P13	V12	12V power, pre-charge, 2nd mate

Notes:

1.All pins are in a single row, with a 1.27 mm (0.050”) pitch.

2.The comments on the mating sequence apply to the case of backplane blindmate connector only. In this case, the mating sequences are:

•the ground pins P4 and P12.

•the pre-charge power pints and the other ground pins.

•the signal pins and the rest of the power pins.
