2U cPCI and VME64x rack mount or desktop integrated chassis

The unit is feature-rich, with a choice of embedded 250 Watt AC or DC ATX PSUs or two 3U 8HP 200 Watt pluggable, hot swappable AC or DC units to give redundancy for high availability applications. Thermal management is provided by a filtered, front entry hot swappable three-fan cooling unit that directs air horizontally across both the front and rear boards; the high performance fans enable the latest power-hungry CPU boards to operate to their full potential. EMC performance is good, with effective attenuation provided by conductive gaskets on panel seals, bare or tinned beryllium copper gaskets on the card cage apertures and 3.5mm round, 5mm triangular pitch hole pattern for airflow vents. A removable top cover provides easy access to the inside of the chassis, useful in the testing and development of boards and systems.
