The MIC-3022 is a 4U enclosure designed to host up to 8 slots 3U Eurocard boards. It is assembled by hybrid backplane, with three CompactPCI® peripheral slots and four CompactPCI® Serial slots, connected via a 32bit 33MHz / 66MHz PCI bus and serial bus. Being a hybrid system, it offers an uncomplicated and cost effective migration solution from parallel 3U CompactPCI® to serial CompactPCI® via the CompactPCI PlusIO standard instead of a bridge or an active logic. To save peripheral slot, there is two SATA connectors reserved on hybrid backplane by cable connection for storage extension.

The chassis can be powered by PICMG2.11 CPCI power supplies or an ATX 400W power supply for cost sensitive applications. Four high performance fans provide adequate air flow to all slots, enabling system configurations which can be used in extended temperature environments. With the support of front swappable power supplies and add-in cards as well as a simplified fan replacement mechanism built in, systems based on the MIC-3022 can support a MTTR of 5 minutes or less.
