Middleton, WI – November 5, 2009 – Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) is the first to ship OpenVPX™ compliant 3U development systems: XPand1200, a development platform for conduction-cooled modules, and XPand1300, a development platform for air-cooled modules. Both are designed to support a minimum of ten 0.8” or 1.0” pitch slots and built in accordance with OpenVPX design principles.

XPand1200: Conduction-Cooled Development System – Featuring rapid I/O configuration via RTM modules, star PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet topologies, and including PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet switch. The XPand1200 supports up to 550 W of total simultaneous power delivery and a thermal dissipation of up to 50 W per slot. Weighing 38 lbs (including backplane and power supply) and measuring 8.5” (H) x 11” (W) x 13” (L), the XPand1200 is designed to make the path from conduction-cooled development to deployment effortless.

XPand1300: Air-Cooled Development System – Featuring rapid I/O configuration via RTM modules, removable side covers for debug access, star PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet topologies, and including PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet switch. Up to 20 CFM of air-flow is provided per slot as well as 550 W of total simultaneous power delivery. The XPand1300 provides the system developer maximum performance and flexibility; weighing only 19 lbs (including backplane and power supply) and measuring 13.5” (H) x 13.5” (W) x 11.6” (L).

System Components – The XPand1200-1 and XPand1300-1 system configurations come standard with backplane, switch and RTM for $7,500:

• XTend4130: Development backplane with centralized switching and leaf node support

• XChange3012: PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet switch with XMC and management support

• XIt3012: RTM for XChange3012 with DB-9 and two RG-45 connectors

XPand1200 and XPand1300 can be coupled with high-performance, low-power 3U VPX or cPCI X-ES single-board computers (SBC), storage, I/O, and companion RTMs, such as:

• XPedite7170: Intel® Core™2 Duo processor based 3U VPX SBC
