Enclosure system for embedded CPU boards

23 March 2005 Computer/Embedded Technology

Pandora is an enclosure system designed by Diamond Systems for use with its Prometheus PC/104 CPU and PNL-Z32 panel I/O board. It features fast and easy assembly due to the fact that most or all internal cables can be eliminated. Rather than requiring the installation of special corner mounts or forcing the stack into a set of corner guides, the entire stack is bolted directly to the front plate of the case, forming a rugged, easily-handled assembly.

The PC/104 Pandora case measures 13,97 mm wide by 14,61 mm high. It comes in five lengths:

* The 43,18 mm case accommodates the Prometheus CPU, the panel I/O board, and an optional notebook hard drive.

* The 76,2 mm case accommodates the CPU, panel board, up to two additional PC/104 boards, and an optional notebook hard drive.

* The 127 mm case accommodates the CPU, panel board, up to five additional PC/104 boards, and an optional notebook hard drive.

* The 177,8 mm and 254 mm cases provide still more room for installing other circuitry and items inside the box. The 254 mm case has enough room for a standard desktop type hard drive as well as two expansion PC/104 modules.

Case lengths accommodate PC/104 boards with stackthrough configuration (long pins on the bottom side) at the bottom of the stack. The length is also sufficient to enable mounting a notebook hard drive below the bottom board and attaching it to the rear end plate. The interior cavity is wide enough to install any PC/104 board with almost any I/O connector, including pin headers with ejector latches.

Each Pandora case includes case body, front plate to accommodate the panel board, rear plate, and all mounting hardware. Additional end plates are available separately.
