1.1 Introduction
The MIC-3043 is a 4U-high enclosure designed as a high availability platform
that supplies six CompactPCI slots for rack mounting. At the same height as a
typical 4U platform, the MIC-3043 offers the equivalent capacity of 6U slot sup-
port in CompactPCI format. Thus, the maximum space efficiency required for
applications like CT and networking is easily achieved. There are two compatible
backplane solutions for the MIC-3043: one with H.110 CT bus support, and one
without. MIC-3043 is also equipped with a 2+1 (500W+250W) hot-swappable/
redundant AC or DC compactPCI power supply that can fulfill most application
requirements in a 4U-high system. With 1U space reserved for a storage device
(SCSI or IDE) on top of the chassis, it gives maximum flexibility for most appli-
cations. The MIC-3043 has one slim-line CD-ROM drive built-in to maximize the
available space in this 4U-high chassis. With a flexible modular design, the chas-
sis accommodates a hot-swappable cooling fan, easily-maintainable power sup-
ply, and system status monitoring and control. For those mission-critical
applications with high-manageability demands, MIC-3043 is compatible with a
Chassis Management Module, the MIC-3924L-A, which is a stand-alone system
environment monitoring module.

There are eight MIC-3043 series:
• MIC-3043A: 4U-high CompactPCI enclosure with 6-slot backplane
• MIC-3043A: 4U-high CompactPCI enclosure with 6-slot backplane
(MIC-3811) that supports H.110 CT bus, removable IDE device bay,
hot-swappable cooling fan modules. Power supply not included.
hot-swappable cooling fan modules. Power supply not included.
• MIC-3043A-B: identical to MIC-3043A chassis including 1+1
(250W+250W) redundant AC cPCI power supply.
• MIC-3043B: A 4U-high CompactPCI enclosure with 6-slot backplane
(MIC-3812) that doesn't support H.110 CT bus, removable IDE device
bay, hot-swappable cooling fan modules. Power supply not included.
