CR4-RACK

System Rack for 4U CompactPCI  Boards

4U, 19" CompactPCI Rack, 8 Slots P1-P2 Bus


With the CR4-RACK, EKF introduces a 19-inch rack, which is suitable to accommodate up to eight single-size Eurocard (3U) CompactPCI® boards. Due to the 1U fan unit, which is equipped with reliable low noise fans for an optimum air-flow, the overall height of the system is 4U.



The CR4-1-RACK is a universal solution for industrial grade standard applications. Provided with a removable power supply, floppy disk, hard disk and DVD-ROM drives, the rack is well suited for any 3U CompactPCI CPU boards.

The CR4-2-RACK is equipped with an economical ATX style power supply, and does not provide mass-storage devices. It is therefore suitable for 3U CPU boards and mezzanine side cards, which already contain a hard disk.



Since the BIOS of the EKF CPU boards allows for remote boot across the networking interface, the CR4-2-RACK is also a good choice for disk-less solutions, resulting in reliable systems for rugged environments.

The CR4-3-RACK provides a rear I/O backplane (other features identical to CR4-1-RACK). Therefore this rack is suited for CompactPCI CPU cards with rear I/O capacity, e.g. CC9-SAMBA.

With a depth of only 280mm the CR4-X-RACK is suitable for both, either cabinet mounting, or as a stand-alone computer.



The system-slot is situated right-most on the CPCI backplane, thus allowing use of CPU modules with larger (non-standard) front-panels up to 12HP without losing the neighbouring slot. Located to the left, another 7 slots are completely available for adapter boards.

Available as an option is a desktop case (CR4-9) for table-top applications (see similar image below).
