Scope

This drawing defines the detailed requirements for a 19 inch 9U rack mountable VME chassis.

Applicable Documents

The following documents apply as specified herein:

Requirements

Electrical

Power Supply

The chassis shall contain a 750 watt power supply. The power supply shall be mounted in such a way that it is field replaceable. The power supply shall operate from an input voltage of 108 - 118 VAC 400 Hz single phase AC power per MIL-STD 704E. The minimum output power shall be as follows:

• +5 VDC @ 50A
• +12 VDC @ 4A
• -12 VDC @ 4A
• -5.2 VDC @ 4A

The +5 V, +12 V, and the -12 V shall be bussed to the VME card cage per ANSI/IEEE STD 1014-1987. The -5.2 V shall be bussed to a terminal strip that can be accessed by removing the backplane access panel. The -5.2 V terminal strip or connector will be used to distribute -5.2 volts to selected through P2.

Mechanical

Dimensions

The overall chassis dimensions shall be as shown in Figure 1.

Mounting Provisions

The chassis shall be 19 inch rack mountable in a 9U panel area per EIA RS-310-C. The chassis will mount with standard EIA rack slides (Customer Defined).

VME Card Cage

The VME card cage shall be shocked and vibration isolated. It shall have a minimum of 15 positions. The P1 connectors shall be standard VME, they shall be bussed and terminated. The P2 connectors shall be standard VME and shall have row B bussed and terminated. The bottom side of the backplane shall have P2 connectors that will mate a female DIN standard 41612, 96 pin connector.

Drive Bay Configuration

The chassis shall have a drive bay capable of accepting two half height SCSI canisters. The drives will be accessible through a hinged, EMI shielded door on the front of the chassis. The drive bay shall be open to the rear to facilitate cabling. Power shall be available for the drive bay area (+5 V, GND, +12 V).

Rear I/O Panel

The chassis shall be designed with a removable I/O panel on the rear. The panel will be a minimum of 14.75" x 3.5".

Power Control

The chassis shall be designed with a protected ON/OFF switch and a power on indicator on the front panel. The chassis shall also provide circuit breaker protection on the front panel for the AC input power. The circuit breaker shall be capable of withstanding the inrush and steady state current requirements of the power supply.

Disk Access LEDs

The chassis shall be designed with disk access indicators on the front panel. They will be labeled "D1, D2, D3, D4" as shown in the chassis outline drawing, Figure 1.

Cooling Fans

The chassis shall be designed with integral cooling fans capable of dissipating TBD watts.

Weight

The chassis shall not exceed 70 lb.

Environmental Requirements

The chassis shall meet the environment requirements specified herein.

Temperature

The operating range shall be 0 to +50°C. The non-operating temperature range shall be -54° to +65°C.

Humidity

The chassis shall operate in 20 to 90% non-condensing atmosphere.

Altitude

The chassis shall operate over an altitude range of 0 to 10,000 ft. The non-operating altitude range shall be 0 to 30,000 ft.

Vibration

The chassis shall operate without degradation in performance, and shall sustain no physical damage, when subjected to the test of MIL-E-5400 figure 2, sheet 1 curve II.

Shock

The chassis shall operate without degradation in performance, and shall sustain no physical damage after being subjected to 3 half-sine pulses shocks of 9g, 11 msec. duration each in opposite directions along 3 mutually perpendicular axes for a total of 18 shocks.

Mounting (Crash safety)

The mounting surface shall be able to withstand 2 shocks of 9g half-sine, 11 msec. duration each in opposite directions along 3 mutually perpendicular axes for a total of 6 shocks.

Acoustic Noise

The sound pressure level generated by the chassis shall not exceed 62 dBa when measured three feet away.

Storage

The chassis shall be capable of being stored within a protective shelter for up to 30 days. During storage the chassis shall be exposed to temperature extremes ranging from -54° to +65°C. Following storage the chassis shall be capable of operating at rated performance upon return to operating temperatures.

Design and Construction

Fungus Inert Materials

Materials, components, assembly methods and finishes to surfaces shall not afford fungus nutrition.

Chemical and Physical Properties

Materials which support combustion or which are capable of causing an explosion shall be avoided.

Corrosion Resistance

Materials used shall be of the corrosion resistant type or suitably processed or treated to resist corrosion.

Finishes

All parts fabricated from aluminum alloys shall be chemically treated in accordance with MIL-C-5541. Paint shall be TBD.

Electromagnetic Interference

The chassis shall be designed to satisfy the intent of MIL-STD-461 part II, category A1b requirements for electromagnetic interference.

Dissimilar Metals

Dissimilar metals, as defined in MIL-STD-889, shall not be used in contact with each other unless suitably protected against electrolytic corrosion.

Part Making

Items supplied to this drawing shall be identified in accordance with MIL-STD-1258 with the following information as a minimum:
