One Stop Systems' 23” wide, 8U high carrier class enclosure for mission-critical applications contains a 20-slot CompactPCI backplane and six hot swappable power supplies. The backplane supports a center-mounted processor board and one bridge board. Dual AC inputs provide greater redundancy in case of power failure. One Stop Systems’ system monitor and alarm board and monitoring software allows the operator to remotely monitor vital system functions. The enclosure is designed to meet all emissions, safety and NEBS Level 3 requirements.

Backplane
The monolithic backplane provides 20 CompactPCI slots. Two slots support a system processor board, one slot supports the system monitor board and seventeen slots are available for peripheral boards. Each slot provides rear I/O access on P3-P5 connectors. A pallet-style bridge board spans the rear P1-P2 connectors of slots 5-8. The bridge board does not interrupt the operation of any slot. The backplane also provides six P47 connectors for the 3U modular power supplies.

Power supplies
Each 3U, 2-slot wide power supply provides up to 250 watts of power of 3.3V, 5V, +12V, and –12V, totaling up to 1,250 watts of redundant power. Each supply is equipped with a single P47 power connector and is individually hot swappable. LEDs on the front panel indicate power on and fault.

Cooling
The enclosure offers four (4) tachometer-equipped fans in individually hot swappable canisters mounted below the card cage and four (4) individually hot swappable blower canisters mounted above the card cage. The fans pull ambient air into the card cage through the front of the enclosure. The blowers then pull the air up across the boards and exhaust it out the rear of the enclosure. If one of the devices stops or fails to operate properly, it can be easily replaced without interrupting the system’s operation and while maintaining a cool system temperature. The system monitor board monitors fan rotation and card cage temperature.

System monitor
The OSS System Monitor is a 6U CompactPCI board with transition module. It provides monitoring of temperature, fan rotation, DC voltage levels, and CPU activity. It also controls the blower speed, which reduces noise when the blowers are not needed. The transition module provides the interface to all the I/O including fans, blowers, temperature sensors, relays, serial port and Ethernet port. The Internet-based firmware allows remote monitoring of the system’s vital parameters.
