VT834

The VT834 features full-mesh configuration that provides unprecedented performance density. This allows the dual ATCA slots exceptional connectivity across the backplane at 100G per port. The backplane connects the two slots, 16 Fabric channels and the 14 Base channels to each other. Base channels one and two of each slot are connected to the layer 2 GbE managed switch. The GbE switch has four GbE ports routed to the front of the chassis.

The two slots support up to 400W for each module, allowing the use of a high-power host processor and FPGA blades. Additional I/O is available through two standard ATCA RTMs.

The VT834 has full redundancy support for all FRUs, including the dual Shelf Managers.

Power Supply

The VT834 is capable of providing single input power or redundant input power.

Cooling and Temperature Sensors

The VT834 has intelligent Cooling Units. The cooling airflow is from right to left. The removable air filter has a switch to detect its presence and can be monitored for when it needs to be replaced. Temperature sensors in the chassis monitor the intake and the outtake air temperature throughout the chassis.

Shelf Manager and GbE Switch

The Chassis has the option of dual shelf management for redundancy. The shelf Manager has an integrated layer two managed switch onboard.

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.
