Built in DC power supply
VPX3000 is a convection cooled, fanless enclosure that accepts up to three 3U
conduction cooled VPX modules. It includes a congurable I/O Adapter Board (IAB) that
is designed to mate with Emerson’s iVPX7225 processor blade, itself based on the Intel
(R) 3rd generation Core mobile chipset. The IAB routes I/O from the payloads to the
front of the enclosure and is designed to be customizable. VPX3000 includes a VITA-62
compliant power supply slot tted with a DC power supply with a MIL-38999 power
input connector and a front panel switch.
Two Data Plane Fat Pipes from each slot are connected in a full mesh conguration. Two
Control Plane Ultra Thin Pipes from each slot are routed to the IAB as 1000Base-T inter-
faces. USB 2.0 and a Display Port interface is also routed to the IAB in all variants.
VPX3000 has been designed to minimise Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) and yet pro-
vide an intensely powerful system level solution including power, storage and processor
elements. A rugged variant, targeted at Mil/Aero/Government applications includes
three MIL-38999 connectors for I/O from each slot. An alternative variant includes
commercial connectors on the IAB and is intended for development use.
