Motorola Computer Group (MCG) announced a line of CompactPCI chassis and starter kits.

The CPX2000 family extends the application range of CompactPCI, making the technology accessible to cost-sensitive projects in industrial control and telecommunications.

CompactPCI is a computer platform to support a range of industrial applications. Its mechanical structure makes it inherently rugged and easy to cable in the telecom environment, while allowing rapid access for maintenance and field upgrades.

Target industrial applications include process control, robotics, electronic imaging, medical analysis, and simulation. Target computer telephony applications include interactive voice response, PBX adjunct processing, network servers, protocol gateways and IP telephony.

The CPX2000 series chassis incorporates a ``hot-swap''-enabled backplane, allowing the system to be upgraded to support board-level ``hot-swap'' on the CompactPCI bus when the first ``hot-swap'' capable boards become available.

The CPX2108 is a low-cost rackmounted CompactPCI chassis. The 6U backplane has a system slot which accommodates CPU boards up to three slots wide (12HP), plus seven I/O slots with front-panel I/O access. Three 5.25` inch drive bays support SCSI or IDE peripheral devices. With a similar basic configuration, the CPX2208 accepts IEE1101.11 compatible rear transition modules and supports the back-panel I/O demanded by many telecom applications.
