The Rugged and Versatile CompactPCI Enclosure
The Portable Workstation combines the ruggedness of CompactPCI with features like front and rear black nylon bumper strips on the black anodized aluminum case. Versatile features include installing a 6-slot cPCI backplane and optional disk drive canisters for applications that require increased storage. An 8-slot backplane can be installed in cases where more peripheral slots are required. Backplanes can include optional H.110 telephony bus and packet switch configurations. Two 5-1/4" drive bays mounted above the card cage, are ideally suited for a CDROM and a tape drive. The Portable Workstation demonstrates exceptional cooling with dual hot swappable fan canisters mounted below the card cage. Each canister contains two fans that blow air up across the boards. A 300-watt power supply with two integral fans is mounted below the card cage. An AC input, fuse, and filter are located on the rear of the enclosure. The on/off switch and power on LED are located on the front of the power supply.
The monitor and keyboard
The Portable Workstation has an integrated 17" color flat panel active matrix display. The display is a self-contained unit including display controller and connects to a standard VGA connector on the CPU board. Display controls are located on the display bezel. The detachable full-size keyboard and glide pad module latches to the main enclosure. The module connects to the computer's keyboard and mouse via a mini-Din connector.
Options
Additional storage can be acquired with the optional removable hard disk drive canisters. These canisters allow two or 3-1/2" hard disks to be installed in the system. The four SCSI hard drive canisters support 3.5" hard drives equipped with SCA connectors that plug into the backplane. The vertically mounted canisters are easily removed with a convenient thumb latch and access handle.
