SYSTEMS ENGINEERED TO PERFORM

The M4U-20A sets new standards for rugged military

rackmount systems. The chassis is designed for high
shock / high vibration environments such as
vehicular mount, aircraft mount or transit case
installation. The short depth of 20 inches allows it to
fit virtually all transit cases. The rugged construction
will assure its reliable operation in that challenging
environment.

M4U-20A
The system meets the Shock and Vibra-
tion Tests performed on 9N206-1 cabi-
nets (DRS), compliance with MIL-STD-
167-1 vibration in each of the (3) major
axes, and the requirements of MIL-S-
901D for (9) nine blow, medium weight,
Grade B, Class II, Type A shock test
( Test Conducted at NU Laboratories in
Annadale , NJ January 27, 2004, March
31, 2004, May 3-4, 2004 and June 22,
2004. Test Report 9800.7.
Primary construction is from high
strength .060 aluminum alloy. A door
covers the drives and air inlet. The front
door provides an EMI / environmental
gasket, honeycomb EMI filter and two
captive fasteners on the door to secure
the system from contamination. The lid
is secured with a number of screws for a
tight seal. The overall effect is a very ro-
bust enclosure to protect the system in
any foreseeable environment.
Cooling is provided by one 120mm hot
swap fan providing 158CFM of high pres-
sure air flow.
The chassis is provided with three hori-
zontal 5-1/4" drive bays and one verti-
cally mounted 5-1/4" bay. A wide variety
of removable drive sleds and other
drives can be installed into these posi-
tions in integrated systems.

System controls are mounted behind the
front door and include power control, sys-
tem reset, and alarm reset. Indictors for
power and power supply failure are pro-
vided and are visible through the front
door.
The M4U-20A is optimized for installation of
a passive backplane and Single Board Com-
puter. This configuration fits the mission re-
quirements for quick access to boards for
system repair and upgrade. A wide variety
of active backplanes provides PICMG 1.0
and 1.3 compatibility for virtually any slot
mix required by the plug-in cards including
PCI-Express X1 through X16, PCI-X, PCI
and even ISA. A hold-down bar provides for
securing the cards for any adverse shock
and vibration environment.
An optional configuration allows for mount-
ing an ATX motherboard when advanta-
geous to the mission.
A redundant 4U PS/2 style power supply is
typically included though other power sup-
ply options are available including DC input.
A Mil Std 704 or 1275 compliant supply is
available for military airborne or ground in-
stallations.
The chassis provides a rear mounted
ground stud and low smoke / zero halogen
wiring is available for military compliance.
Please Note - The M4U-20A is a semi-
custom COTS Plus solution. Chassis fea-
tures and construction are tuned to exactly
match the intended application and environ-
mental requirements. As such, this is not an
off-the-shelf item. Samples are available for
evaluation.
