19" rack-mounted system now in VME/CPCI and neutral design
17 November 2004Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
With its innovative 'Slim-Box' enclosure series, Rittal picks up on the current trend towards increasingly smaller and more efficient electronic packaging solutions. With technical features such as horizontal mounting of all functional components, two front and two rear slots per U, superior fan cooling in the side wall and cost-efficient ATX power supply unit, Rittal's three new designs - VME/CPCI and neutral - offer even more possibilities of application.
With the 482,6 mm (19") rack mounted Slim-Box system with horizontal mounting of all functional components, it is possible to integrate on 1, 2, 3 or 4 U, double the quantity of computer slides (two, four, six or eight). Two slots per U are available for CPCI or VME boards at the front or at the rear. What is new for the Rittal product range are 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 VME or CPCI applications.
With today's high packaging densities of modern electronic and computer systems, much attention has to be paid to effective cooling. Hence sophisticated construction of the enclosure and an adequate number of efficient fans for effective dissipation of heat is important. DC fans are mounted in the left side of the panel. Three or four fans are mounted as standard but it is possible to mount up to six fans both on the intake as well as on the outlet side.
The desktop and shelf mounted enclosures permit a very close packing of computers which, for example, can have CPCI computer cards slotted in from the front and I/O boards from the rear.
In the CPCI design the enclosure 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, also designs with switch fabrics for fast fibre-optic connection (PICMG 2.16).
