Typographical conventions used in this document

This section describes the typographical conventions and terms used in this guide.

Mains Voltage: Do not open the case when the power cord is attached. Dis-

connect the power supply cord before servicing. For systems without a power

switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power

cords are connected. The mains outlet that is utilized to power the devise shall

be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily accessible, and pro-

tected by a circuit breaker.

For AC powered units, ensure that the power cable used with this device

meets all applicable standards for the country in which it is to be installed,

and that it is connected to a wall outlet which has earth ground.

Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether

power to the Smart-DTA is ON or OFF. To avoid electric shock, use caution

when near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the

ForeFront device ﬁrst.

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of

lightning activity.

In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/

96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),

ensure that at end-of-life you separate this product from other

1 • Introduction

Product features and beneﬁts

Thank you for purchasing Patton Electronics Co. Model 6476 ForeFront FullPipe Chassis with CPCI 4U

backplane/midplane. The Model 6476 FireFront FullPipe Chassis is a modular 6U x 19 inch rackmount sub-

rack-type packaging system suitable for open bus architectures such as CPCI, or custom bus applications. The

base unit is adaptable to a wide array of product conﬁgurations.

The product offers a low cost, turnkey solution for customers desiring eight 4U x 160mm slots (a full CPCI

bus segment) in the least possible vertical rack space. The superior design also provides eight 3U x 160mm slots

to mount up to four Power Supply Modules conﬁgured for external DC or AC power input.

The rear of the chassis provides eight 6U x 80mm slots for CPCI transition modules. Cooling is provided by

the specially designed model 6470-FT plug-in fan tray module.

The Model 6476 ForeFront FullPipe Chassis complies with the

PICMG 2.0 R3.0 CompactPCI Speciﬁcation

and

PICMG 2.5, ECTF H.110 (CT Bus) Speciﬁcation

(Rev. 1.0), making it an excellent choice for redundant,

fault tolerant applications

About Patton Electronics Company

Patton Electronics excels in the design, development and production of Embedded Data Communications and

Telecommunications Platforms based on open system bus architecture standards (for example, CPCI and

VME). These platforms form a signiﬁcant part of the infrastructure for today’s information technology revolu-

tion—including the emergence of new packet-based (IP) global communication networks.

Datacom/Telecom platforms require robust and reliable packaging solutions that address key technology issues,

such as line density, thermal management, power distribution, scalability, and regulatory compliance. With an

increasing number of applications demanding downtime measured in minutes rather than hours, special con-

sideration has to be given to enclosure system functionality. Patton Electronics’ full line of enclosure solutions

are designed speciﬁcally to meet industry’s stringent high availability requirements where redundant operation,

quick accessibility and high reliability are essential. Patton has a broad engineering background in the develop-

ment of these technologies for advanced circuit and packet-switched telecommunications systems running

voice, data and video applications for commercial and government customers.

Patton offers a wide range of platforms consisting of standard rack/chassis, high speed back-

plane, power, thermal management, single board computer (SBC) and alarm/network inter-

face products for commercial, voice/data communications, and government/military system

applications. Patton Electronics is ISO-9001 certiﬁed.
