MIC-3081 User Manual --- Page 2
The MIC-3081 series CompactPCI is a 10U-high enclosure with eight CompactPCI
slots for rack mounting, which is provided as a flexible, configurable development
platform. It supports 8-slot backplane H.110 CT bus backplane and rear I/O, which
is designed to speed the implementation of telecom Internet and Industrial
automation applications.
Optimal for cooling airflow with hot-swap fans
A 2.5U space underneath the card slots accommodates two 163 CFM high-speed
fans, to provide forced cooling air into the system. There are also two high-speed
blowers on the top (1.5U space) for linear air flow to optimal the chassis cooling
system. All the fans in this chassis are individually hot-swappable, allowing users to
replace any of the fans without interrupting the operation of the system. The fan’s
tachometer output enables the alarm module to monitor the speed of the fans. A
protective circuit has been designed into the fan backplane to reduce spikes and
noise during fan hot-swapping. This design allows users to replace new fans safely
without turning the system off.
System fault detection and alarm notification
The MIC-3081A is integrated with a system fault-detection and alarm notification
(MIC-3921). Versatile power supply options and configurations can be made
according to particular application requirements. The MIC-3081B can optional with
an intelligent chassis management module, the MIC-3924A, to monitor and report
internal conditions via SNMP trap, email, pager and beep sounds. The system’s
status including CPU (SBC) temperature, system power voltage levels, and fan
speeds can be easily checked from remote web browser for administrator
monitoring. The chassis management module’s serial port can be linked to a modem,
to communicate to a remote host for real time monitoring, module configuration
and alarm reporting. No software needed for remote monitoring since the
SNMP/HTTP protocol provide an open platform for all the operating system.
Hot-swap passive backplane with H.110 CT-bus
The 6U-sized 8-slot backplane of the MIC-3081 supports 32/64-bit operation, the
backplane complies with PICMG 2.1 hot-swap specification. Eight CompactPCI slots
are available. Slot 8 is dedicated to the system master, while slot 1 through 7are
available for 32/64-bit CompactPCI peripheral boards. Connectors P3 and P5 on
each peripheral slot of the telephony backplane are configured for rear I/O, while
connector P4 is configured for the ECTF H.110 CT-bus (TDM telephony bus). The
