May 2004, Escondido, CA - - One Stop Systems announces the introduction of its 4U rugged enclosure. The passive backplane-based, rackmount enclosure supports a wide range of passive backplanes, including segmented backplanes, supporting multiple systems in a single enclosure. Five high-output fans provide superior cooling, blowing air from front-to-rear through the enclosure. Easily serviceable 3-1/2" and 5-1/4" modular drive bays provide significant storage capacity. Dual hot swappable 350-watt power supplies provide ample redundant power. The 4U rugged enclosure was specifically designed to meet requirements for harsh environments with features like reinforced corners, power supply hold-downs, flush-mounted LEDs, and completely secured cables. Modular components like the removable drive bay modules and the removable backplane tray provide easy servicing.

"One Stop Systems has designed a family of rugged passive backplane and motherboard-based enclosures that can withstand harsh environments and provide the OEM with aesthetically similar, substantial platforms for their product offerings," said Steve Cooper, president and CEO. "In addition to its rugged design, the 4U enclosure has exceptional storage capacity along with superior cooling and hot swappable, redundant power supplies.

Three such segmented backplanes are the 19-slot, 17-slot, and 16-slot backplanes. The 19-slot provides 4 PCI slots and 5 ISA slots in one segment and 4 PCI slots and 4 ISA slots in the second segment. The 17-slot provides four 32-bit PCI slots, two 100MHz PCI-X slots, and one ISA slot in one segment and four 32-bit PCI slots, two 100MHz PCI-X slots, and two ISA slots in the second segment. The 16-slot provides four 32-bit PCI slots, two 100MHz PCI-X slots, and one 133MHz PCI-X slot in one segment and four 32-bit PCI slots, two 100MHz PCI-X slots, and one 133MHz PCI-X slots in the second segment. All backplanes support PICMG-based single board computers.

Single Board Computers
One Stop Systems also provides the latest technology, Intel-based single board computers (SBCs). Supporting P3, P4 and Xeon processors these American-built SBCs come with long-life embedded product support. One Stop Systems will configure the BIOS and deliver the SBC completely ready to use.
