System Overview

PDSi's Node4U cPSB Dual 6U Switch is an efficient carrier-grade CompactPCI® solution developed for the communications and embedded controls marketplace. This 8-slot cPCI chassis measures only 7" high, and may be densely packed into any new design or existing rack. The CompactPCI® Packet Switched Backplane (cPSB) architecture embeds redundant Ethernet switching fabric slots within the backplane.

This cPSB system features two slots for 6U Ethernet switches, one system slot and five I/O slots, and an optional 3.5” SCSI or IDE hard drive located above the power supplies. Configurable with various PICMG™ 2.5 and 2.16 compliant processors, the Node4U provides flexibility of design and high performance in a compact unit.

The Node4U cPSB Dual 6U Switch has two slots keyed for hot-swappable PICMG 2.16 “Extended” 10/100/1000 Ethernet switches. The second switch can be removed to provide one cPSB slot for non-redundant switch configurations.

PDSI's Node4U features the Enhanced Alert!Node, an integral system alarm card that provides remote out-of-band connectivity through a serial console or Ethernet connection. The Enhanced Alert!Node monitors the cPCI slots, fans & fan trays, power supply input & output voltages, temperature, and hard drive presence. The power supplies, dry contacts, and 4 faceplate LEDs can be controlled remotely. Each cPCI slot can be individually reset remotely. The Enhanced Alert!Node is a hot-swappable FRU (Field-Replaceable Unit) and does not require a cPCI card slot.

Specifications

With its horizontal design and superior air cooling functionality, the Node4U is a cost-effective product providing the highest levels of quality and manageability in mission-critical applications. Available with dual DC feed or single AC input, the Node4U is powered by 3 front-accessible hot-swappable power supplies in a load-sharing 2+1 redundant configuration.

As with all PDSI products, the Node4U cPSB Dual 6U Switch combines expert Rapid Product Realization design, branding and testing services for a complete OEM product solution using customer-specified third-party components or commercial off-the-shelf products, greatly reducing time to market.
