The VT843 is a 1U μTCA chassis that provides twelve mid-size AMC slots that can accept any AMC.1 (ports 4 to 11), AMC.2 (ports 0 and 1) and AMC.3 (ports 2 and 3 are routed to adjacent slots). It provides FCLKA, TCLKA, TCLKB, TCLKC and TCLKD to each AMC.

The VT843 has redundant power supplies as well as redundant cooling units for high availability. The power supplies, air filter and fan trays are all hot swappable.

The chassis has a JTAG Switch Module (JSM) per μTCA specification. This provides transparent communication between the front JTAG port and the selected AMC device. It can operate up to 50MHz.

The VT843 runs VadaTech proven second generation management software. The shelf manager implements IPMI management, FRU management, and shelf environment management for power, thermal, E-keying, etc. It can run as the Shelf/MCMC or MCMC.
