For JLAB a special version of the VME 6023 crate series with front to rear air-cooling was developed. JLab style VME crates are available with standard VME/VME64 backplane and mechanics as well as with VME64x backplane and IEEE 1101.10 compatible mechanics (enhanced EMC and ESD shielding).
The VME64x 6023-JL crates consists of the UEV 6023S-JL bin, the UEL 6020 fan tray unit and the UEP 6021 power supply. The power supply is located in the bottom behind the fan tray unit leaving the rear of the VME backplane completely accessible. Ethernet remote monitoring and control and a 6U/160mm rear side transition board card cages are common options.
