Hello Alison,

	The backplanes in our 1U and 2U chassis are called "butterfly"
backplanes. Basically, the backplane is situated vertically in the middle o=
f
the chassis, and the cards are inserted to it horizontally from both sides,
thus the "butterfly" nomenclature.  The end result is that your card will
install into our 1U or 2U chassis.
:
	See the photo at the following link for the 1U rackmount chassis
that I am proposing.  The SBC installs on the left side of the backplane, a=
s
shown in the photo, and your card will install on the opposite side behind
the hard drive.

	I am still waiting for the availability of the SBC I quoted to you
for the lead time for both systems. =20

Just this morning I've learned that my microEnable IV card is a standard
height, half length card:
167.64 mm length x 111.15 mm height. Therefore, unless it goes sideways, it
won't be able to fit in a 2U chassis, which is 88 mm high.
