SEL SEL-3355 Computing Platform

SEL-3355

Computing Platform

The SEL-3355 is a versatile computing platform built to withstand harsh environments in utility and industrial applications. It can run the hardened SEL Blueframe or SEL RTAC operating systems, run versions of Linux and Microsoft Windows, or run bare-metal or hosted hypervisors.

Designed, manufactured, and tested to the same IEC standards as our protective relays, every SEL Computing Platform is backed by a standard worldwide, ten-year warranty.

Industrial and substation automation and computing systems require 24/7 availability and ease of service when necessary. In order to address these needs, SEL computing platforms employ “server class” reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) attributes.

Reliability

SEL designs, manufactures, and tests every computing platform in house. Our computing platforms have one of the highest MTBF ratings in the industry, and they are backed by a ten-year warranty.

Availability

Designed to keep your system operational for longer periods, the SEL-3355 can be optioned with dual load-sharing power supplies and a RAID-configurable four-bay SSD enclosure. SEL computing platforms also feature the unique SEL system monitor (SysMon) with a watchdog timer.

Serviceability

Intel AMT allows you to view logs for evaluation and service even when the unit is powered off. You can reboot into another OS for diagnostics or to batch software and then bring the system back online, all remotely. Additionally, SEL SysMon logs events specific to the installed system to aid in quick recovery.

Robust Hardware Design

SEL computing platforms are designed for maximum reliability, with no fans or moving parts, and are backed by a ten-year warranty. The SEL-3355 has a durable power supply, an advanced thermal management system, error-correcting memory, and single-level cell (SLC) SSDs to provide reliable operation in the harshest environments.

Reliable Operation—Meets IEEE 1613. IEEE C37.90. and IEC 60255 Protective Relay Standards

Install the SEL-3355 in harsh environments. It is designed to withstand 15 kV electrostatic discharge, fast transients, radiated emissions, up to 15 g shock, seismic and sustained vibration, overcurrent, dielectric strength, and pulse magnetic field disturbances.

Wide-Range Power Supply

The power supply supports 120/240 Vac or 125/250 Vdc. You can choose two power supplies and use one with 120 Vac and the other with 125 Vdc for backup.

Watchdog Functionality

Monitor and alarm for numerous system services and conditions with an embedded controller that provides an extra level of computer system reliability. The embedded controller includes a programmable system monitor interface and alarm configuration.

High-Performance Intel Xeon Quad-Core Processors

The SEL-3355 features Intel multicore processors with Intel vPro technology and up to 64 GB of ECC RAM, providing the power you need for any application.

Multiple I/O Ports

Directly connect to various local peripherals and high-speed network interfaces with two Ethernet ports, audio I/O, six USB 3.1 ports, three digital video ports, and two serial ports.

Flexibility With PCI Slots

Four PCI Express and one legacy PCI expansion slots let you add additional serial ports, Ethernet ports, I/O, or other PCI Express cards that your application requires.

Operating System Choices

You can purchase the SEL-3355 as hardware-only or configure it to run a variety of Linux and Microsoft Windows OSs to provide extreme flexibility and functionality along with enhanced security features.

Large Storage Capacity

With a four-drive SSD bay, you can create one large volume or configure a typical RAID system that provides redundant and more reliable storage. The following SSD options are available:

SLC for the highest endurance and reliability

Pseudo-SLC (pSLC) for a higher capacity but reduced endurance

3D triple-level cell (TLC) for the highest capacity and a lower cost but reduced endurance
