Description

I-BUS C0818D 8U 18-slot CompatcPCI platform, H.110 support, front-accessible and redundant hot-swappable components (power supplies, SCA drives, blowers, fan tray). Accomodates sixteen node slots and two fabric slots. Simple Type: Accessory The state-of-the-art Continuon 0818D CompactPCI PSB platform is the highest density Packet Switched Backplane platform on the market today, and the first to employ IBus patented Fail-Safe OptiCool technology. In 8U of space, the C0818D boasts high availability features to cater to the "five nines" requirements of the communications, network, broadcast and medical/industrial OEM. All critical modules on the C0818D are easily accessible and fully hot-swap capable. The C0818D supports full I/O card hot-swap to PICMG 2.1 R2.0, dual hotswap power input modules and N+1 redundant hot-swap power supplies. In 8U the most critical component is the cooling. I-Bus continues to lead the CompactPCI market with the patented Fail-Safe OptiCool method of push-mix-pull cooling. Fail-Safe Opticool incorporates a unique lower hot-swap fan array that takes advantage of the axial direction of the fans to most efficiently pressurize the air at the bottom of the chassis. The unique mixing tray can be tuned to mix the intake air, redirect the air upward and distribute the air to where it is needed most, even in the event of a single fan failure. To direct the air through the cards, drives and power supplies, three individually hot-swappable blowers pull the low pressure air upward and direct it toward the rear of the chassis. Optimization of cooling, noise and blower life expectancy is achieved with the addition of the optional I-Bus Chassis Management Controller (CMC), which provides independent speed control for the individual blowers and the fan array. The CMC is added in its dediocated slot at the rear of the chassis. With all of these high-availability features, the C0818D excels in applications requiring small size, optimal cooling, high density and the highest levels of reliability, serviceability and maintainability, ensuring the greatest level of application availability. Additional features include a 16 + 2 slot CPCI/H.110 backplane, full rear I/O module support, front to back airflow, NEBS compliance and the I-Bus standard warranty. Combine the C0818D with the IBC series of award winning single board computers, fully compliant PICMG 2.12 R1.0 hot-swap middleware, Linux, Solaris and Windows HA middleware as well as our extensive list of third party application cards for a truly application ready platform.
