Description

The VT954 is a rugged 1U chassis used in Mil/Aero or other applications that need to withstand shock/vibration. The lightweight aluminum construction provides 6 single module mid-size AMC slots. The unit offers dual redundant PSUs, hot-swappable from the rear of the chassis. To assist with front panel retention a single MicroTCA.1 screw is fitted opposite the hot-swap ejector handle on each module slot.

The front-to-rear cooled chassis utilizes the VadaTech 3rd generation MCH (UTC004) for its shelf manager, crossbar clocking for low jitter, GPS/IEEE1588/SyncE/NTP, etc.

The VT954 has dual 10/40GbE and dual GbE to each slot. There are also dual QSFP+ to the front panel. The backplane provides direct connection between adjacent AMC slots on Ports 2-3 and on Ports 12-20.

Power Supplies

The VT954 offers dual redundant AC or DC power supplies that are hot pluggable from the rear of the chassis.

Cooling and Temperature Sensors

The VT954 has intelligent Cooling Units that are built into the removable power supply trays. The cooling airflow is from front to back. Temperature sensors throughout the chassis monitor intake and outtake air temperature.

Base/Fabric Channel Ethernet Switch

The VT954 provides a standard GbE base channel switch which includes two 40GbE uplinks. This switch is fully Layer 2 or Layer 3 managed enabling a comprehensive enterprise-grade routing and switching feature set. It supports Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) and IEEE1588.

Scorpion™ 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.
