Ensemble® Subsystems OpenVPX Development Chassis – 16-Slot Engineered Development Chassis for Any OpenVPX Subsystem • 16-slot 6U OpenVPX development chassis • Built to support high-performance subsystems • Cost-effective solution for lab development • Customizable backplane and I/O supports multiple configurations • Pre-qualified with Ensemble subsystem module The 16-slot OpenVPX™ Development Chassis from Mercury Systems is a key building block in Mercury’s subsystem development infrastructure. Supporting a number of backplanes with slot counts of 16 or less, the chassis is designed to provide for multiple high-performance subsystem configurations to solve challenging problems in the radar, electronic warfare or image processing market spaces. The OpenVPX development chassis helps programs bring algorithms and technologies to higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) by supporting their deployment on systems based on deployable designs. Built for Performance As a provider of high-performance solutions addressing the most challenging problems in the sensor processing chain, Mercury engineered the 16-slot OpenVPX development chassis to work with a wide variety of module types, from low-power Single Board Computers (SBCs) to high-performance server-class processing modules such as the HDS6601, or RF/IF engines such as the SCFE-V6-OVPX. Because the chassis supports lab development activities, it is ideal for profiling applications on commercial air-cooled OpenVPX hardware that is identical in design to rugged, deployable OpenVPX Mercury Systems is a best-of-breed provider of commercially developed, open sensor and Big Data processing systems, software and services for critical commercial, defense and intelligence applications. modules. The chassis can also work with more rugged configurations of OpenVPX modules that require airflow for cooling. Three chassis fans are implemented in the enclosure, ensuring that sufficient cooling is available to support modules dissipating in excess of 175W. The combined parallel fan configuration supplies more than 700 CFM of airflow to the card cage, providing enough air per slot to support a full complement of high-performance modules. Three thermal sensors are positioned at the exhaust outlet, allowing users to determine the temperature of the air after cooling installed modules. Fans are managed by a control card, allowing automatic adjustment of fan speed based on cooling requirements. Multiple Configuration Options As a building block for high-performance OpenVPX subsystems, the 16-slot OpenVPX development chassis is designed for configurability. Multiple logical configurations can be supported by simply installing a new OpenVPX-compliant backplane. Custom backplanes can also be developed and integrated as needed to match application data flow requirements. Power and fan configurations can be modified for particular configurations, with high-power and cooling installations targeting the most demanding applications, and more cost-effective installations targeting lower power and thermal requirements.
