MPL PRESENTS EMBEDDED MIL/COTS SwaP-C SERVER SOLUTION
NewsRugged Embedded MIL/COTS SwaP-C Server Solution with Intel Xeon CPU
With the MIL/COTS SwaP-C Server solution, MPL presents a unique rugged and fanless embedded Server based on the Xeon processor.
The MXCS-15xxML-C1 was designed with the target to meet the MIL-STD-810 as well as parts of the DO-160 standards. The solution is installed in a compact IP67 housing with a total of eigth D-38999 connectors including a dual Fiber optical 10Gbit LAN port.
The MPL engineering approach has been taken very differently to most rugged solution in the market. The internal wiring has been eliminated as much as possible. The D38999 MIL connectors are soldered on special MPL designed rigid-flex PCBs. The EMI protection in each interface is integrated directly the connector on the PCBs. This will give best EMI efficiency and interface quality.
To interface to the standard embedded CPU board from MPL, mating interfaces boards (ICC) have been designed. The flex part of the connector PCBs are connected to the ICC which is interfacing cable free directly to the CPU board. With this concept the MXCS can basically meet any specification in rugged computing environments like the various MIL Standards . The CPU boards as well as the ICC and connector PCB’s can be coated and bonded to increase the robustness even further.
The heart of the system is an Intel XEON Server chip D-1500 soldered on board. For best heat dissipation, the CPU is conductive cooled without the need of a heat-pipe.
The MXCS-15xxML-C1 comes with numerous interfaces like DVI-D, USB 2.0, serial lines, LAN, 10Gbit fiber LAN as well as a wide power input. Additional expansions ( CAN, 1553, ARINC… ) can be done over the internal expansion interfaces such as mPCIe, m.2, PCIe or PCIe/104, These expansions can be done easy and quickly be integrated into the system. This makes the solution enourmous flexible and cost efficient customizable.
Key features are:
- Intel Xeon CPU, up to 16 cores
- Up to 128GB ECC DDR4
- Two 10Gbit ports
- Expansions for GPGPU, RAID…
- Fanless and flexible IP67 solution
- 19″ MIL housing available
The MXCS is 100% engineered & manufactured by MPL AG in Switzerland. All MPL products are designed for long-term availability and will be available for at least 10 years. MPL’s own component stock guarantees repairs for up to 20 years. Extended temperature ranges can be fulfilled and are tested in MPL’s own climatic chambers according customer’s request.
