Hot swap CompactPCI portable/desktop enclosure

1 August 2001 Computer/Embedded Technology

BVM offers the cPC1000, a modular CompactPCI enclosure, available in many different user-defined configurations. Its vertical format and light weight make it particularly suitable for portable applications such as test systems.

Fully hot-swap compliant to Rev3.0, the cPC1000 is fitted with either a four-slot backplane and a choice of floppy, hard disk or CD-ROM drives; alternatively, it is available with any width of backplane up to a full eight slots if mass storage is not required. For telecoms applications, a H110 complaint backplane can be specified, giving the P3 undefined I/O area, the P4 TDM bus and the P5 telephony I/O areas in addition to the standard CompactPCI P1 and P2 areas.

Power is provided by a 300 W PC ATX 110/220 V a.c. auto-sensing power supply. System cooling is achieved by a 120 mm axial fan mounted below the subrack drawing air in from the lower front and sides with the exhaust through the top; the PSU has its own dedicated fan at the rear of the unit.

The lightweight aluminium housing is strong and rigid and gives good EMC screening with all internal surfaces bonded together. Front and rear panels are EMC sealed and the subrack is recessed to protect the front and rear injector/extractor handle mechanisms. Provision is made to install rear I/O modules in accordance with IEEE-1101.11 ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of system requirements.

BVM is also able to provide the cPC1000 as a ready to run computer configured with a selection of modules from its range of hot swap CompactPCI and PMC modules.
