Hybrid Shelf Supports One ATCA Slot and 8 Mid-Size AMCs in 3U Height.
Waterloo, Ontario, June 24, 2015 – Pixus Technologies, a supplier of electronic packaging systems and components and the North and South American supplier of Rittal Electronic Packaging products, has introduced the PXS0309. The 3U ATCA® Hybrid shelf has a single ATCA node slot and an AdvancedMC® Super-Carrier that supports 8 mid-size, single width AMCs. Because of the flexibility and versatility of supporting 8 AMC slots that can be utilized for additional processing, I/O, FPGA processing, storage, etc., this platform is ideal for a wide range of communication, industrial, and defense applications.
Typically, only 4 mid-size AMCs can fit on an ATCA carrier, but the PXS0309 AMC Super-Carrier supports 8 mid-size AMC modules enabling 8 AMCs and 1 ATCA blade to fit in a 3U ATCA shelf.
With 400W available to both slots, high performance CPUs can be supported on the ATCA blade and high performance AMCs can be supported on the AMC Super-Carrier. All AMCs are hot swappable. One or two Shelf Managers (ShMC) are supported; in redundant mode, ShMC fail-over is supported and ShMCs are hot swappable. Carrier fabric options include PCIe, sRIO, 10GbE, and 40GbE.
The PXS0309 is capable of supporting N+1 redundant power. Input power can be AC redundant or non-redundant, DC redundant or non-redundant, or AC/DC redundant. The PXS0309 supports two intelligent Cooling Units which provide right-to-left air-flow. The chassis dimensions are 19” wide by 3U high by 13” deep.
