It is designed to simplify meeting EN50022, and offers superior EMC screening and IEEE1101.10/.11 compliance, making it ideal for prototyping and system level debug.
To address the cooling problems often associated with space-saving horizontal PCB mounting, Elma has incorporated electronic fan control and monitoring on the backplane, and integrated three powerful fans, venting to the front of the chassis.
A fan status LED is mounted on the front panel.
The compact 2U high unit is 84HP wide and 305mm deep, and is available ex-stock from Elma UK.
Being complete and tested, it is ready to load with cards and drives, and is ideal for time-critical development projects such as data and telecom applications.

For maximum flexibility and field serviceability, the chassis features a rear power connection, together with front and rear power switches, suiting the 2U CPCI chassis to a wide range of rack-mount and desktop applications.
