Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The IPC-7120 (IPC-5120) industrial computer chassis is specifically
designed for factory floors and other harsh industrial environments. It is
a wall-mountable/desktop unit that is ideal for system integrators or users
who require a compact and rugged computing platform for industrial
automation applications. The IPC-7120 (IPC-5120) supports a wide range
computing peripherals to be integrated with the chassis. Standard ATX
motherboards with up to seven add-on cards may be installed in the IPC-
7120. (MicroATX motherboards with up to four add-on cards may be
installed in the IPC-5120).
Outstanding ID and mechanical designs
Unlike the classical industrial computer, IPC-7120 (IPC-5120) has an
innovated appearance for industrial computer chassis. It can be placed on
the desk or mounted bi-directionally by the supplied brackets. It can be
easily bottom or right mounted onto most surfaces, such as walls or work-
benches. The shockproof disk drive housing design protects the system
against harsh industrial environments or unexpected shock. The front
access I/O interfaces and expansion slots make it much easier to operate
and maintain while it is installed in the ATM machine, medical equip-
ment and other huge machine. All these outstanding features make IPC-
7120 (IPC-5120) the best solution for price, performance and total cost of
ownership.

1.6 Safety Precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your chassis whenever you work with the
hardware. Do not make connections while the
power is on. Sensitive electronic components
can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open
the PC chassis
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the motherboard, back-
plane, or add-on cards. Modern electronic
devices are very sensitive to static electric
charges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding
wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic com-
ponents on a static-dissipative surface or in a
static-shielded bag when they are not in the
chassis.

2. Attach the motherboard I/O shielding onto the front panel.
3. There is a yellow warning label located inside of the chassis bottom
of the IPC-7120, (see Figure 2.3). This label indicates if the copper
stubs (supplied in the accessory box) should be attached on the
chassis for fixing the various ATX motherboards. Be sure to follow
the instructions and affix the motherboard on the chassis in the cor-
rect stub locations. ( The IPC-5120 isn’t supplied with this label
because it is designed for microATX motherboards with fixed
stand-offs. ) (see Figure 2.4)
4. Connect the 20-pin (or 24-pin) ATX power connector and the 4-pin
+12V power connector from the power supply to the motherboard.
5. Inside the top left of the front panel, there are four wires with the
connectors marked “POWER SW”, “RESET SW“, “HDD LED”,
“POWER LED” individually. Please plug them onto the corre-
sponding connectors of the motherboard according to your mother-
board manual.
6. Plug the two fan power connectors onto the motherboard according
to your motherboard manual.
Note: Use caution when installing a motherboard. It is
highly recommended to integrate the Advan-
tech motherboard series to ensure the optimum
performance quality, safety and the best air-
flow. If users insist on using other motherboard
brands, please be aware that the CPU cooler
should be under 55 mm height or under 80 mm
height if removing the 3.5" disk drive brackets
from the drive housing. Otherwise, components
may be obstructed on the motherboard and the
chassis, affecting the air flow inside the chassis.
