H36 – 3U Compact PCI / VME64x Chassis
The H36 chassis is designed as a 3U x 19” x 300mm deep rackmount or desktop enclosure offering 6 x horizontal 4HP slots along with provision for a full width rear transition area making it ideal for either CPCI or VME64x applications. Fully compliant with the IEEE 1101.10/11 specification, the flexibility of this design means it can be configured with a wide range of power supply
options. These range from a single 250W embedded power supply or up to 3 x pluggable PICMG 2.11 compliant 300W AC/DC or DC/DC power supplies with hot-swap capability, making this an ideal platform for high availability systems. Alternatively, part of the PSU bay may be configured for multiple HDD (Hard Disk Drive) positions. Optimised cooling is provided by two large DC fans in a fixed or removable tray providing airflow flow through vented side panels.
Thermal Management
Airflow through the unit flows from left to right when viewed from the front, and is provided by two 120mm long life ball-bearing low-noise DC fans contained in a fixed or removable cassette module installed on the left hand side, adjacent to the subrack. The fan cassette can be fitted with optional filter material. Positioning of the fans ensures cooling is directed to the daughter boards and to the RTM area as well as the PSU. When fitted with an embedded ATX style power supply, the PSU built-in fan is exhausted to the rear of the chassis.
Power Supply
The system can be configured with an extensive range of PSU options, including both AC and DC inputs; a single 250W embedded ATX style PSU or space for up to three AC or DC 3U x 8HP PICMG 2.11 compatible power supplies in either 200 or 300W configurations. These power factor corrected supplies can be configured as load-sharing or redundant operation for use in high availability applications. The modules are pluggable type, featuring two separate converters; this allows the supply to provide 5V and 3.3V at their maximum rating simultaneously.
EMC
Good EMC shielding is provided by adopting proven design practices. These include conductive fabric-over-foam gaskets on fixed seals and Beryllium Copper gaskets on the card cage apertures. The airflow vent patterns are 3.5mm round holes on a 5mm triangular pitch. A rear mounted filtered IEC power inlet (switched & fused) is designed to control conducted noise to EN55022 level B when used with modular power supplies.
Backplane
The chassis is available with a range of backplane options, covering both CPCI and VME64x architectures. The CPCI options include a 6U, 6 slot, 64
bit, PICMG2.0 R3.0 compliant backplane with a right-hand system slot (top of system), with rear plug-up connectors in P3,P4 & P5 and selectable coded I/O voltage (default = 5V). Options include CT/H.110 (Computer Telephony) version, or PICMG 2.16 (packet switching) backplanes. The VME64x version is a 6 slot ANSI/VITA 1.1 – 1997 compliant backplane fitted with active on-board termination, electronic ABG (auto bus grant) and centre P0/J0 connectors fitted.
