The MBT-1A4MTX sets new standards for ultra rugged COTS Plus bench top / bulk head mount computer systems. This rugged system is designed for high shock / high vibration environments such as vehicular and aircraft mount. The small size for a motherboard system offering 4 plug-in cards allows easy installation into tight spaces. The rugged construction will assure its reliable operation in that environment.
Primary construction is from high strength .060 5052 aluminum alloy. The front panel is provided with a configurable switch panel allowing control setup as required by the mission. The lid is secured with a number of screws and an EMI gasket for good EMI and environmental sealing. The overall effect is a very robust enclosure to protect the system in any foreseeable environment.
Cooling is provided by two80mm fans providing 84CFM each of high pressure air flow. The front panel is provided with an easily serviced air filter with various classes available. A chassis over- temperature alarm and fan failure circuit for monitoring chassis conditions is optionally available.
The system is provided with one removable drive bay which will hold two 2-1/2" SATA drives. One slim DVD/RW drive can be mounted. Provision for enterprise class 2-1/2 inch drives in a RAID configuration can be made.
System controls are mounted on the front panel and can and include power control, system reset, and alarm reset. Mounted in the front panel is the Power-on LED with a dimable holder, optional Fan Failure and Overtemp LEDs. Two sealed USB ports are provided on the front panel. |
The M4U-19A is optimized for installation of an MTX motherboard. This configuration fits the mission requirements for a small system. A wide variety of long life industrial motherboard providing PICMG 1.0 and 1.3 compatibility for virtually any slot mix can be provided. A hold-down bar provides for securing the cards for any adverse shock and vibration environment.
An optional configuration allows for mounting an single board computer when advantageous to the mission.
A high quality 1U PS/2 style power supply can be mounted DC input. A Mil Std 704 or 1275 compliant supply is available for military airborne or ground installations.
The chassis provides a rear mounted ground stud and low smoke / zero halogen wiring is available for military compliance. All fasteners are either self locking or are secured with Loc-Tite during assembly.
Please Note - The MBT-1A4MTX is a semi-custom COTS Plus solution. Chassis features and construction are tuned to exactly match the intended application and environmental requirements. As such, this is not an off-the-shelf item. Samples are available for evaluation. |
