ESCRIPTION

 

The Trenton MBS1000-xxx is a CE-compliant and UL recognized*, 1U modular blade server optimized for 
system performance, longevity, and easy field support.  The 1U rackmount enclosure of the MBS1000 is 
designed for both server room and rugged field deployment locations that both require outstanding system 
performance in a stable 1U computing platform.     
 
At the heart of the MBS1000 is Trenton’s U.S. designed and Made in America MBC8240 modular blade card 
or SBC.  The MBC8240 SBC supports a long-life Intel® processor that delivers superior multi-core 
processing performance with the thermal characteristics necessary for reliable and long-term 1U rackmount 
server operation in a wide variety of application environments.  The MBS1000 chassis supports two, 2.5” 
front-access/hot-swap HDD carriers, one media drive bay, and a choice an AC/DC or a DC-only redundant 
power supply.  These components maximize power delivery and cooling to ensure long-life system reliability 
with minimal Mean-Time-To-Repair (MTTR) times.  
 
The MBS1000 1U server solution supports seven Ethernet interfaces with one port dedicated to remote 
system management, up to two HDD or SDD storage drives, an optical media drive, and a choice of either 
AC/DC or DC-only redundant power supplies.  The MBS1000 also has the ability to support an off-the-shelf 
PCI Express plug-in option card.  Some typical MBS1000 applications include data servers, industrial 
automation machinery, and weapon control systems. 
 

*Refer to the agency approval section in chapter five and the MBS1000 Certificate Of Compliance document in chapter six for a 
complete listing of the Council Directive: 2004/108/EC-EMC Directive standards to which conformity is declared.
