IPC-610 User's Manual 1
Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The IPC-610 is a PC/AT-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, and a more efficient switching power supply in a single fan-cooled chassis.
The passive backplane configuration of the IPC-610 minimizes downtime, simplifies troubleshooting,
makes upgrading easier and allows for a more efficient system package. All electronic components are
modular in design and can be easily serviced. The IPC-610 accommodates most plug-in cards, including
CPU, video, disk controller, and I/O interface cards. They can be conveniently installed and replaced
from the top of the unit.
The IPC-610 will withstand shock, vibration, dust, and a wide range of operating temperatures in harsh
industrial environments. The chassis is positively pressurized by two filtered push-pull cooling fans to
exclude dust and dirt. A lockable door protects drives and switches from tampering and foreign
particles.
Note: There are several special versions of the IPC-610 also available.
The IPC-610-MB-XXX is designed to use the popular and
inexpensive "Baby AT” and "ATX" form-factor motherboards.
The IPC-610-XXX-250X is designed to use the popular "ATX" 250 W
powersupply.
The IPC-610-XXX-300R is designed to use the popular 300 W
redundantpower supply.
For more detailed information, contact your local dealer.

Chapter 2 System Setup
Setting up your IPC-610 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, keyboard lock, reset switch and three LED indicators (power on, keyboard lock and
HDD) to assist in monitoring system status. On the rear panel there is a grounding point (earthing
point) located on the bottom right hand corner. 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; turning off the power switch alone is not sufficient.
If you are not sure what to do, take the job to an experienced professional.
2.1 Removing the Cover
There are screws near the top along the sides secure the cover to the chassis. Remove them, and then
slide the cover to the rear of the chassis. See Fig. 2.1 below:
Figure 2-1: Removing the cover
2.2 Adding Your Disk Drives
1. Remove the four outer screws which mount the shock-resistant drive-bay to the chassis. (See Fig. 2-2)
2. Slide the drive bay about 2 cm toward the rear, at a location where it is not obstructed by the upper
rim. Lift it free of the chassis.
3. Remove the cover to the drive bay front and insert the drives into their proper locations in the drive
bay. (See Fig. 2-3)

4 IPC-610 User's Manual
2.3 The Hold-down Clamp
The IPC-610 uses a hold-down clamp to ensure the plug-in cards are securely fastened. 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 Fig. 2-4)
2. Insert the rubber buffers (provided) into the hold-down clamp. These buffers offer the plug-in cards
two levels of protection against vibration. (See Fig. 2-5)

Figure 2-6: Front keyboard connection Figure 2-7: Rear keyboard connection
2.4 Connecting the Keyboard
Two 5-pin DIN keyboard connectors, wired in parallel, are provided. One is on the front panel, near the
fan intake, and one is on the rear of the chassis, next to the power supply. You may connect your
keyboard to either. Note that both connectors are notched for correct orientation. (See Figs. 2-6 and 2-7
below.)

2.5 Replacing the Filter
The filter is located next to the lockable door. Under continuous use, the filter should be removed about
once a month. To replace the filter, refer to Fig. 2-8 below and do the following:
1. Open the lockable door.
2. Remove the filter out by gently pulling the tab and sliding the filter to the right.
3. Slide a new filter in until it snaps into place.
4. Close and lock the lockable door.
