ACP661 Close-up

ACP661 is a 6U portable Compact PCI (cPCI) chassis designed specifically for packing the power and application flexibility into a portable, easily moved unit.

Inside Story

The new system encloses with a 15" high brightness TFT screen, keyboard, and six 6U high slots for the system boards and/or application specific peripheral cards. The backplane supports computer telephony specifications (PICMG 2.5) and meets the PICMG 2.1 hot swap specification for fault tolerant/resilient applications allowing users choices from a variety of technology solutions to configure their systems as portable servers, workstations, portable call centers, or other applications requiring redundancy, reliability and mobility.

For better performance and longer battery life, the capabilities of each system are variable dependent on what system board is installed. However, the ACP661 standard package uses a cPCI server blade with Intel's® Pentium 4 Processor-M on board that fully complies with Compact Packet Switching Backplane (cPSB) systems and supports the PICMG 2.16 standard making it an ideal platform for emerging applications such as for a switch-fabric blade server, mission critical blade server, mission critical and computing intensive applications like third-generation (3G) wireless, voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), networking, image processing and converged data and voice communication applications.

Enhancing these applications, cPCI cards and the cPCI system board are slotted in the left side along side a built-in slim CD-ROM and floppy disk drive (FDD), while a 2.5” hard disk drive (HDD) for up to 40GBs of storage is housed on the right side above a 400 Watt power supply. The ACP661 comes standard with 1 GB RAM at double data rate (DDR) 266 MHz speeds and is equipped with dual Gigabit Ethernet for remote or central LAN/WAN connectivity.
