Microbox Plus
- 1U MicroTCA Enclosure -

MicroBoxPlus (or μBoxPlus) offers the performance benefit of MicroTCA in a
space-saving horizontal-mounted 1U height. Six AdvancedMC (AMC) slots offer users the flexibility to configure for a wide range of applications, enterprise, industrial control, telecom, wireless, and others.

MicroBoxPlus is follow-on of MicroBlade’s MicroBox product line. Its unique
card guide design eases the insertion/removal of AMC cards. The replaceable
backplane improves the serviceability of the system. MicroBoxPlus equips
with higher performance cooling unit – over 100 CFM of airflow though the
chassis – for better thermal profile.

If your applications demanded the highest computing performance with space
and power constraint, MicroBoxPlus is your solution.

Features at a glance:

• > Horizontal-mounted six slots 1U 19” rack-mounted enclosure
• > 380W or 760W DC managed power supply
• > Supporting Full, Mid, or Compact AMCs
• > Up to two redundant hot swappable managed cooling units
• > Removable air filters
• > Patent Pending

Microbox Plus
- 2U MicroTCA Enclosure -

MicroBoxPlus 2U MicroTCA enclosure offers system designers the most performance per U in a fully redundant configuration. Twelve AdvancedMC (AMC) slots give users the flexibility to configure for a wide range of applications, enterprise, industrial control, telecom, wireless, and others.

MicroBoxPlus’ unique card guide design eases the insertion/removal of AMC cards. The replaceable, redundant fabric backplane improves the serviceability of the system. MicroBoxPlus equips with higher performance cooling unit – over 200 CFM of airflow though the chassis – for better thermal profile.

If your applications demanded the highest computing performance with space and power constraint, MicroBoxPlus 2U is your solution.

Features at a glance:

• > Horizontal-mounted twelve (12) slots 2U 19” rack-mounted enclosure
• > Up to two 380W or 760W DC managed power supply
• > Supporting Full, Mid, or Compact AMCs
• > Supporting up to two (2) MicroTCA Carrier Hubs (MCH)
• > Up to two redundant hot swappable managed cooling units
• > Removable air filters
• > Patent Pending

Panther 760 & 380
- MicroTCA DC Power Module -

Each unit provides 16 pairs of management power and payload power outputs that are digitally monitored for over or under voltage and over current. Each output channel is individually configurable as primary, backup or disabled. This provides the µTCA form of shared power, i.e. redundant power modules can be configured so that they each power about the half the load on a per channel basis.

Payload power channels can be individually programmed current limits with load specific values. This enables improved MTBFs of the power system, more tightly managed power budgeting and the ability to determine an accurate history power consumption of each component of the system.

Hot swappable and fully redundant operation coupled with extremely high efficiency and wide temperature range operation make Panther power modules ideally suited for all air cooled MicroTCA™ applications.

Puma 300, 600 or 900
- MicroTCA AC Power Module -

The Puma 300, 600 and 900 µTCA Power Modules are MicroTCA.0 R1.0 specification compliant. All versions of the Puma are Full-Size /Single-Width form factor modules which are fully enclosed for electrical protection. Each unit provides 16 pairs of management power and payload power outputs that are digitally monitored for over or under voltage and over current.

Puma power modules provide full monitoring capability with only SMP (Standby Mgmt Power) so input and output voltage monitoring is possible without input power.

The design is based on a state of the art FPGA and advanced technologies for energy management and remote monitoring, diagnostics, software updating and reconfiguration. Each output channel is individually configurable as primary, backup or disabled. This provides the µTCA form of shared power, i.e. redundant power modules can be configured so that one PM powers about the half the loads on a per channel basis and the other PM powers the rest of the loads.

Payload power channels can have individually programmed current limits with load specific values. This enables improved MTBFs of the power system, more tightly managed power budgeting and the ability to determine an accurate power consumption history of each component of the system.

Hot swappable and fully redundant operation coupled with extremely high efficiency and wide temperature range operation make Puma power modules ideally suited for all air cooled MicroTCA™ applications.
