Proven Superior Cooling Capacity Exceeds PICMG 3.0 Revision 2.0 Specifications
Brockton, Mass. – Since 1972, US-based Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions has been an innovative leader in system architecture for computing platforms. The company announces the 546 Series of its high-density 5U AdvancedTCA system, engineered to cost-effectively address demanding power, thermal management, and network equipment-building system (NEBs) requirements. The 546 Series is PICMG 3.0 Revision 2.0 compliant, fully deployable and ideal for high-bandwidth applications.
Offering the capacity of six slots in a 5U configuration, Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions’ 546 Series provides a superior cost/slot ratio to other chassis on the market. The 546 Series is available in a “quick turn” option and can also be customized to meet individual customer specifications.
The 546 Series is a high-performance, scalable solution configured to maximize bandwidth with a six slot 3X replicated full mesh extended fabric connectivity interface. The signal integrity environment of each channel�s four ports have been optimized to handle SerDes devices up to 10Gbs, allowing the 546 Series to provide a total raw aggregate system bandwidth of 3.6 Tb/s, four times that of a conventional ATCA System. The 546 Series’ backplane also features two rear-pluggable PEM interfaces and two front-pluggable system management modules.
Exceeding PICMG standards, two redundant, six-fan modules provide ample front-side cooling of 250 watts/slot and back-side cooling of 30 watts. The system’s front- and rear-removable push/push intelligent cooling modules optimize power dissipation while minimizing mean time to repair. The 546 Series’ thermal management system also features a removable NEBs filtered intake.
The unique dual-redundant shelf management modules of the 546 Series reside in a dedicated front panel slot and are available with either Pigeon Point ShMM-500R or Intel NetStructure® MPCMM0002 Chassis Management Module technology. All field-replaceable units are intelligent devices and communicate to the shelf managers through the IPMI.
