Slim rack-mounted system offered in VME/CPCI and neutral design

8 September 2004 Computer/Embedded Technology

With its innovative 482,6 mm (19") rack-mounted system called slim-box, Rittal picks up on the trend towards smaller and more efficient packaging systems. With the horizontal mounting of all functional components it is possible to integrate on 1, 2, 3 or 4 U the double quantity of computer slides (2, 4, 6 or 8). Two slots per U are available for CPCI or VME boards at the front or at the rear.

Rittal offers three standard versions: the Slim-Box is available as a rack-mounted system without backplane and power supply for individual installation or with backplane and power supply for either VME or for CPCI applications.

Because of the high packaging density of modern electronic and computer systems, much attention has to be given to effective cooling. Here, sophisticated construction of the enclosure and an adequate number of efficient fans help. DC fans are mounted in the left side panel. In addition to the three or four fans mounted as standard there can be up to six respective fans mounted both on the intake as well as on the outlet side.

The enclosure in the CPCI design contains a horizontal 6,5 U 64 bit/33 MHz monolithic CPCI backplane, in the VME design a monolithic VME passive backplane. On request, solutions with customer-specific backplanes are possible.
