The VT931 is a MTCA chassis that provides 12 AMC slots and can accept any AMC.1, AMC.2, AMC.3 and/or AMC.4. The chassis has perforated bottom and top covers for airflow from the upper fan tray. The VT931 is a 4U version of the VadaTech VT930 with additional integrated removable upper cooling unit.

The chassis is designed to MicroTCA.1 specification for rugged applications. It has a Dual Star backplane configuration with 40GbE or PCIe Gen3 capability.

FRU Information and Carrier Locator

The VT931 has dual redundant FRU information and Carrier Locators. The Carrier Locator is assigned by easily accessible mechanical dip switches. As the switches are removable, the backplane can remain passive. The MCH reads the Locator via its private I2C bus.

40GbE/PCIe Gen3 Backplane

The VT931 is a 40GbE or PCIe Gen3 capable backplane based on VadaTech design optimized for a better signal integrity.

Cooling and Temperature Sensors

The VT931 provides compact cooling configuration with a single intelligent Cooling Unit for a maximum density. The cooling airflow is from bottom to top. There are multiple Temperature sensors in the chassis that monitor the intake and the outtake air temperature throughout the chassis. The sensors are monitored by the Management Controller over redundant IPMI bus. The Cooling Unit is located at the top of the AMC slots in a pull configuration. The fan tray is removable, allowing easy maintenance of the system over time.

Scorpionware™ Software

VadaTech’s Scorpionware™ software can be used to access information about the current state of the Shelf or the Carrier, obtain information such as the FRU population, or monitor alarms, power management, current sensor values, and the overall health of the Shelf. The software GUI is very powerful, providing a Virtual Carrier and FRU construct for a simple, effective interface.
