Application Specific Packaging
           W/ Embedded Processing

Rack Mountable Chassis	EuroCard Crate

Advantages

• Lower Overall System Cost
  • Chassis $50-$150 vs $2000-$4500
  • Embedded Processor Interface is Less Expensive than a Multiprocessor Bus
• Increased Reliability (fewer contacts to fail over time)
• Eliminates Bus Related Incompatibilities, Lockups & Conflicts
• Engineering Challenge Becomes the Application not the Bus Interface
• Reduced Thermal Management Complexity (Chassis)
• Implement Only Power Required (no guess work)
• Simplicity of Installation (connect the data input, data output, a ethernet cable & the ac power cord.
• Module Insertion Force Dramatically Reduced (Power Contacts Only)
