VadaTech introduced its VT808, a 3U rugged chassis that accommodates four x16 PCIe Edge card modules. It allows up to four power supplies that can provide 2+2 redundancy with a Power Entry Module (PEM) that manages power to each slot.   

Options include Universal AC, +28V DC, and +48V DC power supplies. According to the press release, each slot is independently powered not allowing a module to disrupt the system. The I2C bus to each slot is radial.

Highlights:

  • 3U Chassis accepts four standard x16 PCIe Gen5 style modules
    • Designed for the FPGA modules that allows SERDES to be re-configured to any protocol
  • 400W per module
    • Modules do not need active cooling (chassis will provide the cooling to each module)
  • Universal AC, +28V DC and +48V DC input option
  • Redundant power 2+2
  • Base Management Controller (BMC) for health management
  • GbE Switch
  • Slide Rail option
  • Front to back cooling
