Introduction

Phoenix International’s VP1-250X Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)/Serial ATA (SATA) based VPX blade delivers high capacity, high performance data storage for military, aerospace and industrial applications requiring rugged, secure and durable mass data storage.

The VP1-250X is a 3U VPX storage module that can support either a rotating or solid-state hard drive. When used with supporting media, the VP1-250X supports the “purge” input signal to destroy the media or the “Zeroize” that performs a DOD approved erasure of the media.

The VP1-250Xs outstanding performance and versatility is enabled by Phoenix Internationals state-of-the-art technology which provides very high transfer and I/O rates, enhanced endurance and maximum data integrity.

Features

 Supports SAS or SATA Solid State Disk or Hard Disk Devices  Conduction, REDI Conduction and Air Cooled Configurations  Front Panel Drive Activity Indicator  Remote Drive Activity Indicator  Up to 80,000 Feet Operational Altitude  Operational Temperature from -40° to 85°C  Meets Military and IRIG 106-07 Declassification Standards  Optional AES 256 Encryption  Support for Purge, Zeroize, Triggered Write Protect, and Other Optional Features

VP1-250X User’s Manual - 3 - Revision E, September 2016

Handling

To prevent damaging the module, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when handling or installing the module. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

To prevent electrostatic damage:

- Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

- Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-protected

workstations.

- Place parts in a static-protected area before removing them from their containers.

- Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

- Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge

Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

- Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer

chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 Megaohm (± 10 percent) resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

- Use heel straps, toe straps or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on

both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.

- Use conductive field service tools.

- Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

Installation

Ensure that all power is removed from the VPX backplane before inserting the module. Prior to inserting the VP1-250X into the card cage, it is necessary to verify the slot the module will be inserted into is compatible with the module. VPX modules are typically keyed to prevent the insertion of a module into the wrong card cage slot. The VP1-250X utilizes two guide modules with keying. In the standard configuration both guide modules are not keyed. Caution must be used to ensure the module is not inserted into a slot that will cause damage to either the module, the backplane, or any other device attached to the system. Guide module keying is available with no key, 0°, 45°, 90°, 270°, and 315°.

Considerations for airflow provided to the module are important. Ensure that proper airflow is provided to air-cooled modules. Conduction cooled modules should only be used in a properly configured conduction cooled card cage. Operation of a conduction cooled VPX module in an air cooled environment can result in overheating of the storage device.

Module Layout

Option Configuration

Purge/Zeroize, PCB location P3:

The Purge and Zeroize connections are provide to allow for triggering optional features of an attached drive (dependent on drive capabilities). These connections, which are routed to the VPX P1 connector, are not limited to these functions. They can be utilized to take advantage of other drive dependent options such as write protect, or used for custom sensor or warning circuits.

Safety Ground, Jumpers JP1 & JP2:

By installing jumpers at locations JP1 and JP2 the ground plane of the VPX module will be connected to the VPX key guides. This allows for the option of connecting the VPX module ground plane directly to the VPX chassis ground plane.
