Neptune 2 Rack Unit Workstation Center

Overview

The 2RU Maintenance Tray is an EIA 19" wide, 2 RU (3.5" H) Maintenance Tray which is only 23.75" long. The basic Maintenance Tray includes: one (1) of SAIC's Rugged Emerald II Model FPD 17-E 17" (17.0" viewable) color Flat Panel Display (FPD); an eight computer port, 4 user port Raritan Master Console MX KVM switch ruggedized by SAIC; and a rugged Cortron Model 121 integrated PS2 keyboard/trackball.

Applications

The 2RU Maintenance Tray is designed to meet the Grade A MIL-STD "shock" and "vibration" requirements encountered in the harsh shipboard environment. The 17" Emerald II FPD weights only 10.4 lbs. The rugged metal enclosure of the Emerald II 17" flat panel display is only 1.9" deep. With a 17.0" viewable display, native resolution capabilities from 640 x 480 up to 1280 x 1024, a contrast ration of 200:1 (minimum); and dual inputs for video, the Emerald II is a versatile, rugged, and extremely capable FPD. The 17" Rugged Emerald II requires only 40 watts of power. In the 2 RU Maintenance Tray, the 17" Rugged Emerald II locks in the down position and in two different "up" positions for safety. When the Emerald II is stored inside the Maintenance Tray, an internal interlock switch turns off power to the FPD if it has been inadvertently left on before stowing.

Features

Integrated Rugged Cortron Keyboard/Trackball: is designed to meet the Spill/Rain/Dust Proof requirements of MIL-STD 810 and is compliant with EMI/RFI/TEMPEST. The integrated Optical Force Sensor Pointing Device (trackball) with a three (3) button capability and companion keyboard support activities with virtually trouble free operation throughout its projected 69,000 hour MTBF lifetime (almost eight calendar years). The Raritan Eight (8) Port Master Console MX4 Switch is an intelligent HMI switch that allows up to four users to interact with eight separate computers. This saves valuable rack space and reduces the overall number of required workstation maintenance positions. The switch requires only 20 watts of power to operate. See photo.

Benefits

The small size, and shock-tested durability of the 2RU Maintenance Tray make it unique for use in harsh shipboard environments.
