With the CR7, EKF introduces a 19-inch rack for double size CompactPCI® boards (6U Eurocard). The versatile 7U system is provided with 8 CompactPCI slots and has been designed for optimum air-flow conditions.

The CR7-RACK is a standard solution for vertical mounting of the boards. Equipped with power supply, floppy disk drive, hard disk and CD-ROM, the rack is well suited as an industrial computer system in a rugged environment.

The system-slot has been arranged right-most on the CompactPCI backplane. Located to the left, another 7 slots are available for adapter boards. The fan unit on the bottom of the rack forces a vertical air-flow between the CompactPCI boards.

Hence, despite of the low overall depth all components remain in a perfectly cool condition, and the rear mounting panel can be used for additional I/O connectors.

In order to use 3U boards with the CR7 rack, EKF offers the front panel expansion adapter CR9-ADAPT. This mechanical kit contains all parts required to extend a front panel from 3U to 6U.

Combined with a CPU board such as the CD1-OPERA or CD2-BEBOP, the CR7 rack is a powerful industrial computer. The system can be equipped with Linux or Windows® pre-installed, as a turn-key ready solution.

Furthermore, EKF offers custom specific solutions, including services as a system integrator. We can tailor any CompactPCI system to your special needs - turnkey ready!
