Advantech MIC-3036-A CompactPCI enclosure

Product Description

Advantech MIC-3036-A 2U CompactPCI Industrial Chassis

This is an Advantech MIC-3036-A, a rugged 2U rackmount chassis designed for CompactPCI (cPCI) industrial computing and control systems. Built for demanding environments in manufacturing, transportation, or telecommunications, this enclosure typically includes an integrated cPCI backplane, power supply, cooling fans, and mounting hardware. Sold AS IS for parts, repair, or integration into an industrial automation or embedded computing setup.

Key Features (Based on Advantech MIC-3036 Series):

• Form Factor: 2U rackmount (3.5″ height, 19″ standard width)

• Backplane: CompactPCI (cPCI) backplane with likely 4–8 slots (mix of system and peripheral slots)

• Power Supply: Integrated AC/DC power supply (e.g., 250–400W) with PFC

• Cooling: Redundant fans for forced-air cooling

• Drive Bays: May include front-access HDD/SSD bays

• I/O: Front panel indicators, switches, and USB/serial cutouts

• Build: Heavy-duty steel construction with EMI shielding

Potential Uses:

• Industrial System Repair: Donor chassis for restoring an identical Advantech cPCI system in production or control environment.

• Component Salvage: cPCI backplane, power supply, fans, drive bays, and sheet metal for other projects.

• Embedded Computing Project: Foundation for building a custom industrial controller, router, or test system using cPCI boards.

• Training/Display: For teaching industrial computer architecture or as a display unit.

Important Notes:

• Compatibility: Requires standard 3U CompactPCI boards for population.

• Power Supply Verification: AC input voltage (110V/220V) and output health are unknown.

• Rail Kits: Rack rails may not be included; verify mounting requirements.
