OG-PC-x86-A Functional Description
Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the OG-PC-x86-A. The
OG-PC-x86-A Integral Frame-Installed PC for openGear®Frames is a
compact PC which is installed directly in the frame in the form of an
openGear-style card pair assembly with a double-width rear I/O module.
The OG-PC-x86-A obtains its power from the frame midplane with no
external cabling or sources. Using the OG-PC-x86-A, special applications of
the user’s choice can be conveniently collocated directly in the frame.
The OG-PC-x86-A unit installs in the same manner as any other openGear®
device; the device/card is inserted into desired frame slot pair where it mates
with a rear I/O module. Via a rear I/O module supplied with the device,
OG-PC-x86-A external connections are provide, consisting of dual GigE,
USB 2.0 and 3.0, HDMI, serial, as well as a DisplayPort.
Note: A third, additional GigE port is available as a per-slot GigE connection when
OG-PC-x86-A is used in conjunction with the oGx frame or equivalent per-slot
GigE frame.
Basic Processing Details
The OG-PC-x86-A consists of the following architecture:
•Intel®Pentium®N3710
•1.6 GHz (2.56 GHz burst)
•4-Core
•8GB DDR3
! WARNING ! To reduce risk of electric shock do not remove line voltage service barrier cover on frame
equipment containing an AC power supply. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
CAUTION This device is intended for environmentally controlled use only in appropriate video
terminal equipment operating environments.

User Interface
Similar to a standard PC, the OG-PC-x86-A can provide user interface via its
USB ports (for mouse and keyboard) and its DisplayPort.
Hardware control features such as power on/off, reset, and sleep are
accessible on the device and via DashBoard remote control. This allows these
control functions to be accessed via DashBoard remote control with no need
for physical collocation to invoke hard reset or similar actions.

Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Installation
Overview
This chapter provides steps for physical installation and pre-power-up setup of
the OG-PC-x86-A as follows:
•Installing User-Added HDDs (p. 2-1)
•Installing Rear I/O Module (p. 2-3)
•Installing the OG-PC-x86-A Into Frame (p. 2-5)
•Rear I/O Module (Panel) Connections (p. 2-6)
Installing User-Added HDDs
Note: This procedure is applicable only if user-added HDD(s) are to be added in a
fielded OG-PC-x86-A. For factory-installed time-of-purchase options (see
HDD/SSD/OS Options (see p. 1-4 in Chapter 1, Introduction), no field
installation is needed.
CAUTION
This device contains semiconductor devices which are
susceptible to serious damage from Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD). ESD damage may not be immediately
apparent and can affect the long-term reliability of the
device.
Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments
such as carpeted areas, and when wearing synthetic fiber
clothing. Always use proper ESD handling precautions
and equipment when working on circuit boards and
related equipment.
When disassembling to access HDD mounting area, the
OG-PC-x86-A component side of PCB will be positioned
against work surface. Make certain surface is prepped with
soft anti-static material to avoid damaging or dislodging
surface-mount components.

Figure 2-1 HDD Mounting Area and Details
1. (See Figure 2-1) Around periphery of OG-PC-x86-A assembly, remove
six (6) screws securing HD Piggyback Board (HDD mounting PCB)
from OG-PC main board. Tilt HD Piggyback Board away from main
PCB.
CAUTION
When installing HDD(s), avoid allowing HDD case from contacting
surface-mount components on OG-PC main PCB. Components can be
damaged if HDD case strikes component(s).
2. Prep threads of each of four (4) HDD securing screws (supplied with
HDD) with a small drop of blue threadlock compound (Loctite®243 or
equivalent).
3. Secure HDD to HD Piggyback Board using four (4) screws supplied
with HDD.
4. Position HDD (along with piggyback PCB) to align with its interconnect
cable. Connect interconnect cable to HDD.
5. Repeat steps 2 thru 4 for second HDD (if used).
6. Prep threads of each of six (6) HD Piggyback Board securing screws
with a small drop of blue threadlock compound (Loctite®243 or
equivalent).

CAUTION
Make certain HD Piggyback Board power harness leads are positioned around
standoff and not pinched between standoff and piggyback PCB.
7. Carefully align HD Piggyback Board in mounting position on the six (6)
peripheral mounting standoffs. Start six (6) securing screws.
8. Fully tighten six (6) HD Piggyback Board securing screws.
Installing Rear I/O Module
CAUTION
Make certain Rear I/O Module is installed before installing the OG-PC-x86-A
into the frame slot. Damage to card and/or Rear I/O Module can occur if
module installation is attempted with card already installed in slot.
The Rear I/O Module provides the user “rear panel”connection breakouts for
the OG-PC-x86-A assembly. Install Rear I/O Module as follows:
1. On the frame, determine the slot in which the OG-PC-x86-A is to be
installed.
Note: Although an OG-PC-x86-A can be installed anywhere in the frame, typically it
is recommended to select a group of slots at the left-most or right-most of
available slots. The OG-PC-x86-A and its mating rear I/O module will require
four (4) slots (example: OG-PC-x86-A and rear I/O module positioned to use
slots 17 thru 20 in the 20-slot frame).
2. In the mounting area corresponding to the slot location, install
Rear I/O Module as shown in Figure 2-2.

Align and engage mounting tabs on Rear
I/O Module with the module seating slots
on rear of frame chassis.
Hold top of Rear I/O Module flush against frame chassis and start the
captive screws. Lightly tighten each captive screw.
Note: Screws are captive retained on unmounted Rear I/O Module
using O-rings. Pushing the screws backwards into the O-rings
(allowing only a few threads to protrude in front of O-rings)
allows the screws to more easily thread into the chassis
threaded holes.

Installation Installing the OG-PC-x86-A Into Frame
Installing the OG-PC-x86-A Into Frame
CAUTION
Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate specific
slot placement of cards. Cards with many heat-producing components should
be arranged to avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames
using only convection cooling. The OG-PC-x86-A has a high power
dissipation of up to 60 W. As such, avoiding placing the device adjacent to
other devices/cards with similar dissipation values if possible. Also, frame
power budget must be considered if multiple OG-PC-x86-A devices are to be
installed, or other devices/cards are to be collocated in the same frame.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Make certain Rear I/O Module supplied with the OG-PC-x86-A is installed
before installing the OG-PC-x86-A into the frame slot. Damage to device and/
or Rear I/O Module can occur if module installation is attempted with device
already installed in slot.
Install the OG-PC-x86-A into a frame slot as follows:
1. Open the frame front access panel.
2. Noting the four slots occupied by the rear I/O module, determine the
slots in which the OG-PC-x86-A will mate with the rear I/O module.
3. While holding the OG-PC-x86-A assembly by its front edges, align the
assembly such that the plastic ejector tabs are on the bottom.
4. Insert the OG-PC-x86-A such that its card-edge connector on rear of
assembly is aligning with corresponding female connector on its rear I/O
module, aligning the assembly with the top and bottom guides of the
slots in which the assembly is being installed.
5. When certain assembly is aligning with connector on rear I/O
module, gradually slide the assembly into the slot. When resistance is
noticed, gently continue pushing the assembly until its rear printed
circuit edge terminals engage fully into the rear I/O module mating
connector.
This device contains semiconductor devices which are
susceptible to serious damage from Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD). ESD damage may not be immediately
apparent and can affect the long-term reliability of the
device.
Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments
such as carpeted areas, and when wearing synthetic fiber
clothing. Always use proper ESD handling precautions
and equipment when working on circuit boards and
related equipment.

2-6 OG-PC-X86-A PRODUCT MANUAL OG-PC-X86A-OM (V1.0)
CAUTION
If assembly resists fully engaging in rear I/O module mating connector, check
for alignment and proper insertion in slot tracks. Damage to assembly and/or
rear I/O module may occur if improper insertion is attempted.
6. Verify that the assembly is fully engaged in rear I/O module mating
connector.
7. Close the frame front access panel.
8. Connect cabling as shown in Rear I/O Module (Panel)
Connections (p 2-6).
Note: To remove the assembly, press down on the ejector tabs to unseat the
assembly from the rear I/O module mating connector. Evenly draw the
assembly from its slots.
