VT955

The VT955 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. For front panel retention, there is a single MicroTCA.1 screw on the opposite side of the ejector handle on each module slot.

The VT955 allows for the conversion of front panel I/O to MIL-38999 style or any customer-specific I/O connectors.

The front-to-rear cooled chassis utilizes the VadaTech 3rd generation MCH (UTC004 product) for its shelf manager, crossbar clocking for low jitter, GPS/IEEE1588/SyncE/NTP, etc. The VT955 has PCIe Gen3 x8 routed to each AMC slot. The x8 routing could run also as dual x4.

The VT955 backplane provides direct connection between adjacent AMC slots on Ports 2-3 and on Ports 12-20.

Power Supplies

The VT955 has option for AC or DC input. via the front panel. The module has a single power supply which is removable from the rear of the chassis.

Cooling and Temperature

The VT955 has intelligent Cooling Units that are built into the removable power supply trays. The cooling airflow is from front to back. Temperature sensors fitted throughout the chassis monitor intake and outtake air temperature..

Base/Fabric Channel Ethernet Switch

The VT955 provides a standard a GbE base channel switch which includes two 10GbE uplink 100/1000/10G RJ45 ports. 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.
