Some design and development work has been done at CERN to contribute to the availability of fully-rated FASTBUS crates, suitable for use in future LEP experiments and to some type of standardization, traditionally appreciated by the users as well as by the manufacturers. Prototype FASTBUS crates have been built and tested. The FASTBUS crate design has been based on the following criteria: The crate consists of three separable parts, namely a bin or mainframe, a fan-unit mounted below the modules, a power supply unit mounted at the rear of the crate (much like the familiar CERN NIM and CAMAC crates). The crate can be operated as a stand-alone unit, requiring no extra devices. Forced-air cooling is used both for the FASTBUS modules and the power supply.
