A system and method for introducing user-defined (e.g., proprietary) signals into a standard backplane. A front side backplane portion is provided with a set of connector holes that are electrically separated from corresponding connector holes provided on the backplane's rear side portion. Thus, whereas the separated front side connector portion is operable with standard bus signals, the rear side connector portion can support an independent signal pathway to carry one or more user-defined signals.
