Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The IPC-616 is a PC/ATX-compatible computer designed for industrial applications. This rugged,
all-steel chassis meets the EIA RS-310C 19" rackmount standard. The unit includes a 14-slot PC-bus
compatible passive backplane, a high-efficiency 300-watt switching power supply, and hot-swap
cooling fans, all in a single compact chassis.
A fault detection and alarm notification system is provided in the IPC-616. It monitors its own hard-
ware status, including temperature, cooling fans, and power.
The IPC-616 withstands shock, vibration, dust, and a wide range of operating temperatures in harsh
industrial environments. The chassis is positively pressurized by two filtered hot-swap cooling fans to
exclude dust and dirt. A lockable door protects drives and switches from tampering and foreign parti-
cles.

Installation notes
The IPC-616 is designed to permit the connection of the earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit to
the earthing conductor of the IPC-616's chassis.
If this connection is made, make sure that:
1. The IPC-616 is connected directly to the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor, or to a
bonding jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the DC supply system earthing
electrode conductor is connected.
2. The IPC-616 is located not only in the same immediate area (such as adjacent cabinets) as any other
equipment that has a connection between the earthed conductor of the same DC supply circuit.and
the earthing conductor, but also in the same immediate area as the point of earthing of the DC
system. The DC system must not be earthed elsewhere.
3. The DC supply source is located within the same premises as the IPC-616.
4. No switching or disconnecting device is installed in the earthed circuit conductor between the DC
source and the point of connection of the earthing electrode conductor.
Warning: Due to the high wattage of the IPC-616, users must not remove the top cover of
the chassis. If users need to install or remove any device in the IPC-616, they
should consult qualified technical personnel.

Chapter 2 System Setup
Setting up your IPC-616 requires only a screwdriver and a small amount of time. Before you begin,
you should also gather together all of the cards you plan to install, as well as the keyboard you plan to
use.
A lockable door is located on the chassis front cover, providing access to the control panel. This offers
protection and security against damage and unauthorized access. The control panel functions include
power on/off and reset switches to assist in monitoring system status. When the system detects a failure
(concerning power, overheating or fans), these LED indicators will change color from green to red.
There is a ground point (earthing point) located on the bottom right hand corner of the rear panel. This
provides an earth for the whole system, and is attached via a screw.
Warning: Disconnect all power from the chassis before you install the CPU cards. Unplug
the power cord from the wall. Do not merely turn off the power switch. If you are
not sure what to do, take the job to an experienced professional.
2.1 Removing the Cover
Removing the cover to conduct maintenance is easy. No tools are required. Simply unscrew the two
thumbscrews near the rear of the chassis. See Figures 2-1:

2.2 Removing the Handles
The handles and mounting brackets for the front panel can be removed as follows:
Figure 2-2: Removing the handles
2.3 Adding Your Disk Drives
1. After removing the cover, you will see four screws near the drive bay. Remove these screws. Lift
the drive bay free of the chassis. See Figure 2-3 below:
Figure 2-3: Removing the screws

IPC-616 User's Manual 7
2. Remove the front cover of the drive bay, and insert the drives into their proper locations in the drive
bay. See Figure 2-4 below:
Figure 2-4: Assembling the disk drive bay
2.4 The Hold-down Clamp
The IPC-616 uses a hold-down clamp to ensure that the plug-in cards are positioned securely. It also
offers protection against shock and vibration. To install your cards into the passive backplane, proceed
as follows:
1. Detach the hold-down clamp by removing the two screws located at each end, and lifting it off the
chassis. See Figure 2-5 below.
2. Insert the rubber buffers (provided in your kit) into the hold-down clamp. These buffers offer the
plug-in cards two levels of protection against vibration. See Figure 2-6 below:
