User Manual
Proper Environment Selection: The system is designed to operate in a typical office environment:
• The location should be clean, dry, and free of airborne particles.
• It should be placed in a well-ventilated room, and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight
and radiators.
• It should be kept away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
• The space should be accommodated with a properly grounded wall outlet, and with sufficient space to
access the power supply cords.
• The operating environment temperature should be around 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
Heed Safety Instructions: Before working with InWin IPC/storage/SMB storage server products, we strongly
recommend you use this guide as a reference and follow the safety instructions. The instructions in this
manual will help you ensure and maintain compliance with existing product certifications and approvals.
Follow the described, regulated components mentioned in this manual. Use of non-UL listing products or
other regulators may not comply with product regulations in the region(s) in which the product is sold.
Hazardous Conditions, Devices and Cables: Hazardous electrical conditions can be present on/in
power supply units and their cables. Disconnect the power cord and any other devices attached to the
server before opening the case. Failing to follow safety procedures will increase the risk of personal
injury or equipment damage.
System Power On/Off: The power button DOES NOT totally turn off the system AC power.
To remove the power of the system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the outlet or the system’s
power supply unit(s). Make sure the power cord is unplugged before you open the chassis or add/
remove any component.

To avoid damage and maintain your safety, please read the following terms listed below:
Installing or Removing Jumpers: A jumper is a short length conductor used to close, open, or bypass part of
an electronic circuit. Jumpers on InWin backplanes have a small tab on top that you can pick up with your
fingertips. Grip the jumper carefully and plug the jumper to cover the jumper pins on the backplane. Once
you need to remove the jumper, grip the jumper and carefully pull without squeezing.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and ESD Protection: In most cases, ESD may damage disk drives,
electronic boards, and other parts. We recommend that you conduct installation only at an ESD free
space. If not possible, perform ESD protection protocol by wearing anti-static wrist straps attached to
the ground on any unpainted metal surface on your server during operation.
CAUTION
Do not populate hard drives and turn on the power until the system has stabilized. Make
sure hard drives and other components are properly connected before turning on the
system.
Tighten or loosen all screws with a screwdriver.
Apply the correct screws packed in the accessories box.
For your safety, please have at least two people lift and install the unit in its
designated area.

Hardware Installation
Please follow the installation steps below to set up your IW-PL070. For a quick
installation video, please visit ipc.in-win.com
The IW-PL070 supports 120 x 25mm PWM fans x 2 in the front and middle sections. Users can install
one more optional fan for each section. For the rear section, there is a pre-installed 120 x 25mm
PWM fan x 1, and can also support two 80 x 38mm PWM fan (optional).
Fan Installation

system may continue to operate if one of the modules fail. To replace it, simply remove the failed
module, and then insert a replacement module.
Power Supply Installation
The top comes with a built-in 240mm radiator bracket, which is compatible with the InWin BR24 AIO
liquid cooler (optional), or other 240mm liquid cooling radiator. For the middle section, users can
install an optional 240/360mm radiator bracket, which are also compatible with the InWin BR 24/36

Notice: Precautionary Installation Guide for High-Powered Graphics Cards.
Some graphics cards on the market possess two or three PCIe connectors, and the power of these graphics
cards usually exceed 225W (150W from PCIe 8-pin connector + 75W from motherboard PCIe slot). The
maximum rated wattage of a single PCIe 8-pin power cable and connector is 150W, therefore, when installing
a high-powered graphics card, please make sure to use two or three independent PCIe cables to connect to
the high-powered graphics cards.
