A New 4U 8-slot CompactPCI Subsystem

Irvine, CA (August 31, 2005) – ADLINK Technology Inc., a global leader in developing CompactPCI and AdvancedTCA platforms, presents a new 4U rackmount CompactPCI enclosure with 8-slot 6U backplane and redundant power supplies. The cPCIS-6418 delivers optimal performance for telecommunications, CTI, Voice over IP and network equipment providers.

The cPCIS-6418U is a high-performance CompactPCI platform with a 64-bit, 8-slot 6U backplane in a 4U enclosure. The 8-slot backplane dedicates one slot to the system CPU board and seven slots to peripheral boards. It supports a PICMG 2.5 compliant H.110 CT Bus. Featured with high availability and ample room for expansion, the cPCIS-6418U is compliant with the PICMG 2.5 computer telephony integration standards and is ideal for Voice over IP and network equipment applications.

This subsystem is equipped with a front access, hot-swap cooling system for effective CPU heat ventilation and high-density computing. The cPCIS-6418U uses hot swappable 500W + 200W redundant power supplies with a universal AC input. The cPCIS-6418U uses a 4U enclosure and is categorized as a high-availability model. The cPCIS-6418U was designed not only considering overall system power loading but also overheating issues from multiple CPU boards within the enclosure.

ADLINK has available compatible 6U CompactPCI CPU board for use with the cPCIS-6418U: cPCI-6860A and cPCI-6840. These two CompactPCI CPU boards are easily expandable and can be utilized to take full advantage of all the cPCIS-6418U’s capabilities. The cPCI-6860A is a 6U CompactPCI dual low voltage Xeon™ processors Host single board computer and the cPCI-6840 is a 6U CompactPCI highly-integrated Pentium® M processor PCI 64-bit/66 MHz Universal Blade.
