Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether
power to the Smart-DTA is ON or OFF. To avoid electric shock, use caution
when near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the
ForeFront device first.
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.
In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/
96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),
ensure that at end-of-life you separate this product from other

Product features and benefits
Thank you for purchasing Patton Electronics Co. Model 6476 ForeFront FullPipe Chassis with CPCI 4U
backplane/midplane. The Model 6476 FireFront FullPipe Chassis is a modular 6U x 19 inch rackmount subrack-type packaging system suitable for open bus architectures such as CPCI, or custom bus applications. The
base unit is adaptable to a wide array of product configurations.
The product offers a low cost, turnkey solution for customers desiring eight 4U x 160mm slots (a full CPCI
bus segment) in the least possible vertical rack space. The superior design also provides eight 3U x 160mm slots
to mount up to four Power Supply Modules configured for external DC or AC power input.
The rear of the chassis provides eight 6U x 80mm slots for CPCI transition modules. Cooling is provided by
the specially designed model 6470-FT plug-in fan tray module.
The Model 6476 ForeFront FullPipe Chassis complies with the PICMG 2.0 R3.0 CompactPCI Specification ,
and PICMG 2.5, ECTF H.110 (CT Bus) Specification (Rev. 1.0), making it an excellent choice for redundant,
fault tolerant applications
About Patton Electronics Company
