Continuon™ 8U/CHP (I-BUS)

The state-of-the-art Continuon 8U/CHP CompactPCI PSB platform is the highest density Packet Switched Backplane solution on the market today, and the first to employ I-Bus patented Fail-Safe OptiCool technology. In 8U of space all critical modules are easily accessible and fully hot-swap capable. It supports full I/O card hotswap to PICMG 2.1 R2.0, dual hot-swap power input modules and N+1 redundant hot-swap power supplies. In 8U the most critical component is the cooling. I-Bus continues to lead the CompactPCI market with the patented Fail-Safe OptiCool method of push-mix-pull cooling. Optimization of cooling, noise and blower life expectancy is achieved with the addition of the optional I-Bus Chassis Management Controller (CMC), which provides independent speed control for the individual blowers and the fan array. With all of these high-availability features, the Continuon 8U/CHP excels in applications requiring small size, optimal cooling, high density and the highest levels of reliability, serviceability and maintainability, ensuring the greatest level of application availability.
