R Series Cage
The ClearCube R Series Cage is a centralized chassis that houses as many as eight
single-processor PC Blades and as many as four dual processor PC Blades. A
standard 42U 19-inch rack can hold as many as fourteen Cages, for a total of 112
single-processor PC Blades.
Each Cage is a self-contained unit providing all of the Ethernet connections, C/Port
connections, airflow management, and power connections that the PC Blades need.
Cages are available with a Direct Connect BackPack, a Blade Switching BackPack, or
the new R4300 series BackPack that features interchangeable modules for maximum
flexibility. Systems management connections are also provided on each Cage via
network and RS-485 links that can be daisy-chained from Cage to Cage. Figure 3
shows a Cage with PC Blades installed.
