System Overview

PDSi’s ComputeNode2U (Node2U) is an efficient carrier-grade CompactPCI® solution developed for the embedded control and communications marketplace. This 4- slot cPCI chassis measures only 3.46” high and may be densely packed into any new
design or existing rack. The cPCI form factor offers horizontal scalability with front and rear accessible I/O for easy service and maintenance.

Configurable with various processors—SunTM, Intel®, PowerPC and custom-designed— Node2U provides high performance in a compact unit. PDSi’s expert System Integration services provide options for a fully configured system or as a standalone product.

PDSi's Node2U is designed with a system alarm card for monitoring and control status. The system alarm card communicates with the system CPU through an I2C Bus Interface or an RS-232 interface. The alarm card is designed to be hot-swappable as a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) and does not require a cPCI card slot.

Specifications

With its horizontal design and superior air cooling functionality, Node2U is a cost-effective product providing the highest levels of quality and manageability in mission-critical applications. With front accessible power supplies in a loadsharing 1+1 redundant configuration, these hot-swappable power supplies are standard with dual DC feed, single AC feed or optional dual AC feed.

As with all PDSi products, Node2U combines expert Rapid Product Realization design, branding and testing services for a complete SKU utilizing customer-specified third party components or commercial off-the-shelf products, greatly reducing time to market.
