panel without ever removing the basic enclosure
from the rack or unplugging any of the cables
connected to the back panel. Even the dual AC
power supply is completely removable and
swappable.
The V-Matrix Basic Enclosure makes use of an
innovative cooling system with a chimney-like
design that maximizes even airflow through the
Matrix Engine and input/output cards. This ensures
that the system does not overheat, even in rigorous
environments.
Control of the system is made primarily via RS-232,
though the back panel also provides a 10 Base-T
connection for future network control capabilities.
Protocol for input/output selection is both powerful
and simple, involving basic, easy-to-understand
ASCII commands.
