Two-slot 6U VPX (VITA 46) conduction-cooled chassis from Extreme Engineering

Extreme Engineering Solutions has released the XPand1010, a two-slot 6U VPX (VITA 46) conduction-cooled chassis. The chassis provides system engineers with a 6U VPX desktop or lab bench platform to jump-start software or hardware development when using X-ES Freescale- or Intel-based CPU boards.

The XPand1010 supports up to two 6U VPX conduction-cooled cards, providing fabric interconnect between the two slots. This chassis also provide access to Gigabit Ethernet, SATA, USB, DVI, and serial port I/O from one or both of the installed 6U VPX SBCs. The XPand1010's design eliminates card cages, rear transition modules, and noisy fans typically found in air-cooled development chassis.

This device is powered by an external ATX supply and featuring an integrated conduction-cooling system. The XPand1010 chassis is suitable for office desktop or lab bench use. The conduction-cooled nature of the chassis allows for near-silent operation on a desktop or lab bench. The front and rear acrylic panels provide safe viewing of the installed cards and can be removed for access to the hardware.

"Customers have already enjoyed XPand1010's near-instant development start-up. It's easy to install and boot your Intel Core i7 processor platforms or Freescale 8572E, 8640D, and P4080 processor cards," states Bret Farnum, VP Sales, adding, "the full complement of I/O gives developers everything they need - right out of the box."
