1.6 Safety Precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis. Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the motherboard, backplane, or add-on cards. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.

CHAPTER 2 2 System Setup
Chapter 2 System Setup The following procedures instruct users to install the backplane, add-on cards, and disk drives into the IPC-623 chassis. Please refer to Appendix A, Exploded Diagram, for the detailed parts of IPC-623. Note: Use caution when installing or operating the components with the chassis open. Be sure to turn off the power, unplug the power cord and ground yourself by touching the metal chassis before you handle any components inside the machine. 2.
2.2 Removing the chassis covers There are dual top covers for IPC-623, top front cover and top rear cover. Both are fixed to the chassis with four screws, two on each side. Please refer to Figure 2.1 & Figure 2.2 and proceed as below. 1. Detach the four screws on both sides. 2. Remove the top cover. Figure 2.1: Removing the top front chassis cover Figure 2.
2.3 Installing the Backplane IPC-623 supports backplanes of up to 20 slots. To install the backplane, please refer to Figure 2.3 and proceed as follows: 1. Unscrew the 4 screws located on both sides of the hold-down clamp, then pull out the clamp. 2. Remove the EMI shield by loosening the six screws. 3. Put the backplane in the proper location and then fasten it onto the chassis. 4. Connect the 20-pin ATX power connector from the power supply to the backplane. EMI Shield Figure 2.
3. Select a vacant PICMG slot for the full-length CPU card or PCI/ISA slot for other add-on cards and remove the corresponding I/O bracket attached to the rear plate of the chassis. 4. Insert the CPU card or add-on card vertically into the proper slot (See Figure 2.5 & Figure 2.6). For full-length cards, please make sure that the card bracket has been inserted properly and the other edge of the card has been inserted into the plastic guiding. Fasten the card by a screw on top of the I/O bracket. 5.

cards. In addition to the rubber pad under the hold-down clamp, the cushions offer these cards a further level of protection against shocks and vibration. (See Figure 2.7). 2. Put the hold-down clamp back into its original position. Please note that the circle hole on the hold-down clamp faces toward the rear panel. (See Figure 2.8). 3. Secure it to the chassis with the four screws. Figure 2.7: Installing hold-down clamp Figure 2.
2.6 Installing Disk Drives The disk drive bay in the front right section can hold three 5.25” disk drives (such as CD-ROM drive, CD-R/W drive, DVD-ROM drive, or mobile disk drives, etc.), an external 3.5” FDD and an internal 3.5” HDD. To install the HDD or FDD, please proceed as follows: 1. Remove the top front cover. 2. Unscrew the four screws on the disk drive housing and then take it out. 3.

CHAPTER 3 2 System Setup
Chapter 3 Operation 3.1 The Front Panel of IPC-623 In the middle of the front panel, there is one Power On/Off switch, four System Reset buttons, and one Alarm Reset button. There are 9 LED indicators on the lockable front door. Their individual functions are described as below. 3.1.1 Switch and Buttons Power On/Off switch: Press this button to turn the system power on or off. System Reset button: Press the button to reboot the individual system (up to four systems).
3.1.3 LED indicators for Power Status The following table is the individual LED which indicates the status of the backplane voltage signals. LED +5V +12V -5V -12V +3.3V Description +5V signal +12V signal -5V signal -12V signal +3.3V signal LED on Normal Normal Normal Normal Normal LED off Abnormal Abnormal Abnormal Abnormal Abnormal When an LED fails to light up, it means there is a problem with one of the voltage signals. Please check if the power supply connector is properly attached to the backplane.
3.3 Replacing the Filter The filter is to block dust and particles from the work environment and extend the system longevity. It’s better to replace the new filter periodically. There is one filter behind the front door and four filters on left and right sides of the chassis. To replace the filter, please refer to Figure 3.2 and proceed as follows. 3.3.1 Replacing the front filter 1. Open the front door. 2. Loosen the screw located on the filter cover and then gently pull the filter cover forward.
Figure 3.3: Replacing the filter on both sides of the chassis 3.4 Replacing the power supply IPC-623 supports various power supply models. Please see details below. 3.4.1 The redundant power supply model In this configuration, there is a redundant power supply with various (2, 3, or 4) modules, which are front-accessible and hot-swappable. To change the module, please be sure to open the front door as wide as possible (to an angle of at least 90 degrees) or users won’t be able to remove the module easily.
Figure 3.4: Unlock and replace the 460W power supply module Note: When you plug the two power cords into the socket, please make them the same direction, see Figure 3.5. Figure 3.5: Power cord plugs orientation on the socket 3.4.2 The single power supply model With this configuration, there is one single 400 W or 500 W ATX power supply for the system. It is hidden inside the front left section of the chassis. With only one power supply module installed, an additional drive bay can be installed three 3.
3. Unscrew the power supply bracket and remove it. 4. Unplug the 20-pin ATX power connector and 4-pin +12V power connector from the backplane. Then, unplug other power connectors from the disk drives. 5. Remove the four screws which mount the power supply to the power supply bracket, then take out the power supply. Please see Figure 3.8. 6. Place a new power supply into the power supply bracket and fasten it with the four screws. 7.
Figure 3.8: Replacing the single power supply This extra drive bay in the front middle section can hold six 3.5" HDDs, but we strongly suggest to install up to three HDDs so the system can maintain good performance. To install the HDD into this drive bay, please refer to Figure 3.9 and proceed as follows: 1. Loosen the four screws of the drive bay. 2. Adjust the HDD into position. 3. Fix the HDD to the disk drive bay by fastening the screws on both sides of the drive bay. 4.
CHAPTER 4 2 Alarm Board
Chapter 4 Alarm Board The alarm board is located behind the cooling fan near the middle section. The alarm board makes an audible alarm when: a. Any power supply module of the redundant power supply fails b. One of the cooling fans fails c. Internal temperature of the chassis is too high To stop the alarm beep, simply press the Alarm Reset button on the front panel. 4.1 Alarm Board Layout The layout and detailed specification of the alarm board are given below: Figure 4.1: Alarm board layout 4.
