The FBI challenged CP Technologies to create a radically compact, yet extremely powerful server for forensic computing.
Included in the specification was:
- XEON Processor in a MATX motherboard
- 32GB 1333MHz RAM
- Four 900GB 10,000RPM removable hard drives
- Internal non-removable system drive
- Blue Ray DVD Drive
- 10-Port Ethernet switch built in
- Internal UPS with battery
- Light weight aluminum construction
- Robust go-anywhere construction
These units are used in a sensitive investigative capacity. The customer required the built-in UPS to allow a controlled shut-down in the event of loss of external power so that no data would be compromised. The systems are used world-wide in a variety of environments which required good system cooling and air filtration. A tailored card support system holds the plug-in cards in place when subjected to high shock and vibration. Included is CP Technologies’ proprietary SysCool®system fan management board to minimize fan noise by controlling fan RPM. The SysCool board also provides for system over temperature and fan failure alarm.
