Arcadia, California (July 11, 2006)— Contemporary MicroSystems adds portable CompactPCI computer to its line of field service and testing computers.

The CPCI-6615 is a compact, self-contained, CompactPCI portable computer. The system enclosure features a 6U card cage that includes a 6-slot CompactPCI backplane. The chassis features a 15-inch active matrix flat panel display, fold-down keyboard, touchpad mouse, hard drive bay, optical disc drive, floppy drive and 400-watt ATX power supply. The CPCI-6615 provides a totally integrated and cost-effective portable CompactPCI system ready to be deployed in industrial environments such as telecom field service and test applications. In addition, with its substantial expansion capabilities, the CPCI-6615 offers an infinite number of configurations, depending on the user's needs.

The chassis is made of high impact resistant plastic over an aluminum plate frame. Cooling is achieved via a 113 cfm intake fan on the bottom of the chassis. There is a durable, rubber-clad carrying handle on the top that makes carrying the system easy. A padded carrying case with wheels and telescopic handle is included for long-distance transportation of the system.

The CPCI-6615 backplane has a H.110 CT bus and features six CompactPCI slots. One slot is assigned to the CPU board and the other slots are for five peripheral boards. The CPCI-6615 complies with PICMG 2.1 hot-swap specification, providing full hot-swapping capability. The backplane is designed to support commercial-off-the-shelf IDE and floppy drives. Two IDE connectors provide the control interface to the built-in CDROM, 3.5" hard drive in the removable bay, and additional IDE devices. And with a standard ATX power connector, the CPCI-6615 offers a cost-effective solution to a complete cPCI system.

The CPCI-6615 is available now.
