 +The Arneb is the scale-out RECS<sup>(r)</sup>%%|%%Box Compute Unit, hosting up to 18 baseboards (= 18 COM Express modules or 72 Apalis modules) on 1 RU. It has a side-cooling approach, where cool air flows from the left side to the right side over all installed modules and gets blown out of the chassis at the right side. To make the Arneb best scalable, it is powered by the external Power Supply Unit (PSU) [[doc_recs3:introduction#Power Supply Alasco|Alasco]].

 The PSU Alasco can be used to power several Arneb Compute Units. It converts 230V AC to 12V DC and can provide up to 3 kW total power. Its integrated management controller allows a configurable redundancy of the 10 internal power supply units, per default it's running in a N+1 redundancy mode. The amount of running power supply units are dynamically managed depending on the number of running compute modules in the connected Arneb's.   The PSU Alasco can be used to power several Arneb Compute Units.
