The PCI224 and PCI234 PCI bus analog output boards are high performance plug and play boards costing less than most comparable "low-cost" boards.
Large displays offer 50 or 100mm high LEDs
Designed to enable displayed data to be read over long distances, the BDF series are large four or six digit displays with 50 (2in) or 100mm (4in) high LEDs.
Features include: validation and thermal analysis control of the rack design to meet thermal issues and rising heat densities both now and in the future; the maintenance of a stable environment while delivering pro-active management of IT equipment in the rack; the ability to monitor rack power requirements; and 24/7 IP-based management for LAN/WAN.
This level of control is achieved using six modules designed to be housed in a single i-Box unit.
The Enclosure Module monitors the provision of a totally integrated rack solution including event logging of all IT equipment in the rack.
