(or negative) of the DC supply is connected to the port DC-. The Earth
Ground pin is isolated from internal power connections and is connected to
the enclosure. User should connect this terminal to an external Earth
Ground connection or DC-. Note that the I/O Server may draw up to 7A of
current which mandates use or 22 gauge (non-bundled) wire or larger.
The DC input has an internal 10A fuse and reverse polarity protection.
However if these stopgap measures are required, the I/O Server may
require factory repair. Acromag recommends an external fuse and/or
current limiting power supply for additional protection.
The I/O Server includes an internal 2.5” IDE connection for an
additional (or primary) hard drive. This drive MUST BE SET AS A SLAVE
even if it is the only drive present. The CompactFlash
®
slot is hardwired as
the IDE master. Refer to Section 4.0 the System Overview for more
information. The 2.5” drive (not sold by Acromag) should have shock and
vibration and temperature specifications equal to the I/O Server. If there
are any discrepancies between these specifications, then the less stringent
specification holds. As such Acromag recommends use of a Solid State
Drive. Refer to Section 4.0 for a discussion on the various types of flash
drives available. Instructions for installing the optional flash drive are
below.
To install the optional flash drive, first remove power and all cables.
Then remove the IOS Carrier as outlined in the IOS Module Installation
Section. Once the IOS Carrier is removed, set it aside and turn the unit so
that the bottom is facing up. Then remove the 6x 4-40 Flathead screws on
the bottom using a Philips screwdriver.
Once the bottom face plate is removed, screw the hard drive using the
four 3mm Philips flat head screws provided by Acromag to the inside of the
bottom face plate. Note that the IDE connector must be facing the close
edge of the panel. Refer to picture below.
Then replace the bottom panel with the hard drive attached by sliding it
in to the IDE connector. Then replace the six Philips flat head screws on
the bottom.
WARNING: Double check the
power supply wiring
connections prior to powering
up the unit.
Optional 2.5” Drive
The 2.5” IDE drive must be set
as a SLAVE.
