open-frame PSU with a wide input range of 100 to 240VAC, three speed-controlled fans on a hinged rear panel, and a display module incorporating LED status indicators.

Finished in a new colour combination of anthracite grey (RAL7016) and white aluminium (RAL9006), the VME64x system has been designed in accordance with international standards IEC 60297-3-101, -102 and -103, as well as IEEE 1101.1, 1101.10 and 1101.11.
