ATCA Chassis

December 1, 2012

Pixus Technologies (Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) has introduced a new 6U AdvancedTCA (ATCA) SlotSaver Shelf that gains 2 slots of payload card usage, along with AC power. The 6U ATCA SlotSaver PXS0600 chassis features shelf managers that also employ dual redundant switch functionality.

All of the Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) are hot-swappable, including the cooling units, washable filters, Power Entry Modules (PEMs), shelf managers, and AC power supplies. With 3x AC power supplies in an N+1 configuration, the chassis offers both AC and DC options. A 5U chassis with DC-only power is also available.

The 6-slot ATCA backplane has a full mesh configuration. The shelf manager provides the integration of 10GbE and 1GbE layer-two managed switch on the same module. With two shelf managers in the system, there is a full redundancy and failover, both on the switch as well as on the shelf manager.
