  There's no active components on the "backplane". OK there mayu be a few
LEDs of something to show presense of power but no vital components vital
to the system. The S-100 backplanes are a good example. The CPU, system
memory, video circuits, I/O ports etc are all on plug in cards.


>> provide power from PSU?

  Usually but not always.

   Both CPUs (and bus drivers, clocks, etc) will try to drive the buss
simultanously and one of them will lose in a spectacular way!
