Compatible with a PC, Macintosh or Sun system, the Satellite PCI expansion chassis is a rugged, portable unit that delivers a compact solution to growing computer systems
Adept Scientific announces the release of the new Satellite series PCI expansion chassis from Measurement Computing Corporation, the new name of ComputerBoards.
Compatible with a PC, Macintosh or Sun system, the Satellite PCI expansion chassis is a rugged, portable unit that delivers a compact solution to growing computer systems.
It is available in two table-top models, with or without built-in temperature monitoring, and provides eight additional PCI slots.
The Satellite chassis includes an innovative internal monitoring system that continually measures power supply voltages, air temperature between each slot and cooling fan functionality.
Software supplied with the chassis allows users to easily monitor their system.
The software program is accessible through VB/C++ examples and a DLL file.
The Satellite series chassis introduces an option to easily extend computer systems across all PCI-based industry platforms.
The Satellite series allows OEMs, VARs and System Integrators to deliver a complete system without a PC, saving time as well as potential support headaches.
This also saves end-users outsourcing and equipment costs.
The small, space-efficient Satellite PCI chassis adds eight slots to any PCI compatible computer and greatly simplifies installation and removal of boards.
The tabletop PCI chassis provides access to system boards with the removal of two screws, rather than disassembling an entire system to install a board.
This time-efficient approach provides a quick and easy solution for system reconfigurations.
The chassis also simplifies board connections by offering front-access connections for field wiring.
Each chassis has a 32 bit and 33MHz embedded industry standard Intel 21150-AC bridge chip that assures compatibility with virtually all PCI computers.
