L-3 required a very rugged 4U enclosure for their JRE-DLT program. The system required that two custom PCI backplanes be installed with XPT Dual XEON processors. One side was configured as a Windows XP Client and the other side was running Sun Solaris as a Server. The chassis provides a redundant power supply, two hot swap hard drives, and two DVD drives.
A custom rear panel and front panel insert were developed. A custom power control PCB was also developed to provide a time delay for system shutdown to prevent disk corruption. The system was ruggedized for installation in a transit case for battle field deployment.
