Six-slot ATCA shelf hosts test and development
Rittal
5U ATCA shelf
Two new versions of a 5U ATCA shelf feature six horizontal slots at the front.
Rittal has expanded its ATCA product range with the addition of two new versions of a 5U ATCA shelf with six horizontal slots at the front.
Thanks to its compact design, the system can be used everywhere high performance is needed but where space is at a premium, for example a test or development system, or where a full 12/13U ATCA shelf provides too great a capacity.
The 5U shelf version meets the PICMG 3.0 Rev 2.0 specification.
Included are two pull-out fan units (including filters) which guarantee efficient cooling output up to 200W per slot at the front and 30W in the RTM area.
The unit is wired, tested and equipped with a dual star backplane (six-slot) and Pigeon Point or Intel Wagon Tire shelf management controller.
The new design also complies with the RoHS Directive.
In addition to six front plug-in slots, there is the capacity for two rear RTMs in slots 1 and 2.
The 19in x 5U x 400mm unit includes a 1000W AC power supply or DC PEMS (power entry modules) depending on the model, and is complete with a triple replicated mesh/dual star backplane of 5+1 slots to maximise performance.
