Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The IPC-644 MicroBox IPC chassis is an ultra-compact 4-slot
mini-node chassis that is ideal for embedded applications. Its
small size enables it to fit in mobile environments such as
boats, cars and other vehicles. Naturally, indoor operation is
equally suitable.
The IPC-644 comes with a 4-slot backplane. You can choose
between a 4 ISA backplane, or a 1 ISA / 2 PCI / 1 NLX back-
plane, both of which can hold up to 4 half-size cards. As for
power supply, the IPC-644 can either run on 110/220 V auto-
switching 80 W AC, or on a 24/48 VDC power source.
A drive bay located at the front of the IPC-644 accommodates
one 3.5" floppy drive and one 3.5" hard drive. The front panel
is equipped with a power reset switch and facilitates easy
diagnostics. Other features include two reserved 9/25-pin I/O
ports, two cooling fans for ample heat dissipation, and a fan
filter. All of these are easy to install and maintain.
