1 Applies only to IPCs with solid state hard drive (ICRXIBNxE00xA).
2 For ambient temperatures greater than 50°C (122°F), the unit must be installed in a
restricted access area, as defined below.
Warning
If the Box IPC is operating in ambient temperatures greater than 50°C (122°F),
its exterior temperatures may be too hot to touch safely. To avoid burn
hazards, the unit must be installed in a restricted access area, as defined by:
Access can only be gained by service persons or by users who have been instructed
about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and about any
precautions that shall be taken; and
Access is through the use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and
is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
Pollution Degree 2
A Pollution Degree 2 environment as defined by UL60950-1:
Pollution Degree 2 applies where there is only non-conductive pollution that might
temporarily become conductive due to occasional condensation.

Power On/Off Switch and Status Indicator Operation
Normal Operation†
Action
Power up the IPC
Press and hold the button for at least ½ second.
If powering up from a no-power state, the ring LED blinks blue while the IPC is
booting and is solid green when the IPC is up and running.
For ICRXIBN7x000A-CA or earlier only: If the system has been shut down, but
power has not been cycled, the ring LED immediately turns solid green.
For all other versions the ring LED blinks blue for 40 seconds before changing to
solid green.
Shut down the IPC
Press and hold the button briefly (between 100ms and 4 seconds).
The ring LED stays green while the IPC is shutting down and then turns off when
the IPC is powered down.
Sleep Mode
The default BIOS settings when shipped from the factory are:
“Enable Hibernation”is disabled
ACPI Sleep State is “S1 (CPU Stop Clock)”
The default settings send IPC to sleep state S1.
ICRXIBN7x000A: The ring LED stays green while the IPC is in Sleep State S1.
The ring LED turns off while the IPC is in Sleep State S3
ICRXIBN7x001A: The ring LED stays green while the IPC is in Sleep State S1.
The ring LED fades blue while the IPC is in Sleep State S3.
Forced Shut down
Caution: Use this option only if the operating system is non-responsive:
Press the button for at least 4 seconds.
The ring LED turns off.
†The ring LED displays solid red to indicate a fault, including Overtemp condition.
