1U MicroTCA Chassis , PCIe Gen3 speeds. Up to 6 slots standard. Options to 12 AMCs in “deep” version midplane.

The PowerBridge RackPak/M5-1 MicroTCA® chassis is a 2U 19″ rack offering up to 6 AdvancedMC™ slots, 5 of them are MTCA.4 compliant slots with up to 5 µRTMs. The RackPak/M5-1 system is the perfect base for small and low cost computer platforms in medical, industrial automation, transportation, military, and telecommunication. It supports high-end computing applications with up to 6 CPU modules as well as I/O intensive configurations. Based on the MicroTCA® and AdvancedMC™ PICMG® standards it is the best solution for long life cycle applications.

The RackPak/M5-1 includes an exchangeable cooling unit, with left-to-right cooling. Other cooling units are available upon request, as the user has to carefully evaluate the overall thermal design of his application. The cooling units are field replaceable, depending on the environmental needs.
For FPGA applications, a JTAG module is available for easy access to your FPGA boards.

The system can be equipped with any double full-size MTCA.0 AC power supply or a high precision 1.000W PSU. Cooling system and PSU are designed for a maximum of 80W power dissipation per slot. The dust filter and the fan cartridge are hot-swappable. An optional DC input power supply is also available.

The VT840 is a 1U μTCA chassis that provides six mid-size AMC slots with swappable redundant power in the rear of the chassis. The six slots are divided among two sets of three slots, each set with their own dedicated PCIe Fabric, GbE, Power Module, clock structure, and management. The fabric on ports 4-11 is PCIe (AMC.1) and ports 2-3 are routed to adjacent slots (AMC.3). Other features include FCLK to each AMC, a single digital input/output pin per unit (two total on the front panel), and front to rear cooling. The 300W AC power/fan trays and air filters are removable for ease of serviceability.

The VT840 runs management software based on VadaTech’s proven VT002 second generation mezzanine. The shelf manager implements IPMI management, FRU management, and shelf environment management for power, thermal, E-keying, etc. The VT840 has integrated dual 10GbE network interface, which connects to the PCIe fabric via x8 PCIe Gen3.
