Chapter 2
Hardware
2.0 HARDWARE
This chapter describes both the RC4000 boardset and common external devices that may be used for
integrating an antenna system.
2.1 Boardset Devices
This section describes the mechanical and electrical interfaces of the boards that comprise the RC4000
boardset. NOTE: details on how the boardset is packaged in an enclosure and how interfaces are
connected to an antenna system would be detailed in Appendix C – Enclosure Specific Data.
2.1.1 Mechanical Mounting
The following picture shows a complete RC4000 boardset attached to a mounting plate.
The boardset is designed to occupy the minimum volume by placing the drive board on the bottom, the
computing board in the middle and the options board on top. The pictured stack includes an auxiliary RF
routing board (see 2.1.2.4.8) with four coaxial connectors on top. In this configuration, the dimensions of
the stack (including plate) are 7" x 6 1/16" x 3 3/4". With mating connectors and wiring, a stack of this
size fits within an enclosure with internal measurements of 8.9" x 7.4" x 3.4".
