VT951
1U Rugged MTCA Chassis, 6 AMC Slots, PCIe Gen 3 and Dual PSU
Description:
VT951 is a rugged 1U chassis used in Mil/Aero or other applications that need to withstand shock/vibration. The lightweight aluminum construction provides 6 single module mid-size AMC slots. For front panel retention, a single MicroTCA.1 screw is fitted on the opposite side of the ejector handle of each module slot.
The front-to-rear cooled chassis utilizes the VadaTech 3rd generation MCH (UTC004) for its shelf manager, crossbar clocking for low jitter, GPS/IEEE1588/SyncE/NTP, etc. It also offers dual redundant PSUs, hot-swappable from the rear of the chassis.
The unit has PCIe Gen3 dual x4 or single x8 routed to each AMC slot. There is also a OCuLink connector for x8 PCIe Gen3 expansion.
The VT951 backplane provides direct connection between adjacent AMC slots on Ports 2-3 and on Ports 12-20.
The chassis offers dual redundant AC or DC power supplies that are hot pluggable from the rear of the chassis.
The VT951 has intelligent Cooling Units built into the removable power supply trays. The cooling airflow is from front to back. Temperature sensors fitted throughout the chassis monitor intake and outtake air temperature.
The chassis provides a standard GbE base channel switch which includes two 10GbE uplink 100/1000/10G RJ45 ports. This switch is fully Layer 2 or Layer 3 managed enabling a comprehensive enterprise-grade routing and switching feature set. It supports Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) and IEEE1588.
Scorpionware software can be used to access information about the current state of the Shelf or the Carrier, obtain information such as the FRU population, or monitor alarms, power management, current sensor values, and the overall health of the Shelf. The software GUI is very powerful, providing a Virtual Carrier and FRU construct for a simple, effective interface.
