Hello, an OEM interested in using our backplanes and Intel CPUs to produce light rugged systems noticed that Atacama is rated 10-45 C instead of 0-55 as the other backplanes. He is really worried for the hi-temp side. +45 C is too restrictive, since he should be able to provide systems sustaining some 50+ C degrees... Which is the reason for the difference to the other backplanes? is the NCR 810 SCSI PCI controller? Is this range still true with the latest revision of Atacama or is any improvement to be expected at all? Thanks very much. Ciao ciao Marco

Marco, The Atacama is rated 10-45C in the 6 slot enclosure. It is however rated at 5-50C if installed in the 14 slot enclosure. ( This is NOT a configuration offered in the DMCC order menu but, as with all DMCC components if an OEM wishes to integrate this themselves they can) This is basically because of the extra components (scsi) on-board the Atacama backplane.

Put another way:
The 45C in the enclosure ("our" enclosure) has more to do with the
cooling air flow in that enclosure than the backplane, per se.
Also, many disks have a somewhat limitied temperature range...
