Chapter 1 General Information

1.1 Introduction
The IPC-644 MicroBox IPC chassis is an ultra-compact 4-slot mini-node chassis that is ideal for embedded applications. Its small size enables it to fit in mobile environments such as boats, cars and other vehicles. Naturally, indoor operation is equally suitable. The IPC-644 comes with a 4-slot backplane. You can choose between a 4 ISA backplane, or a 1 ISA / 2 PCI / 1 NLX back- plane, both of which can hold up to 4 half-size cards. As for power supply, the IPC-644 can either run on 110/220 V auto- switching 80 W AC, or on a 24/48 VDC power source. A drive bay located at the front of the IPC-644 accommodates one 3.5″ floppy drive and one 3.5″ hard drive. The front panel is equipped with a power reset switch and facilitates easy diagnostics. Other features include two reserved 9/25-pin I/O ports, two cooling fans for ample heat dissipation, and a fan filter. All of these are easy to install and maintain.

Chapter 2 System Setup

Installation procedures for the IPC-644 are described below.
WARNING: Before starting the installation procedures, make sure you disconnect all power from the chassis. Unplug the power cord from the  power outlet in the wall.  erely turning off the power switch is not sufficient. If you are not sure what to do, consult an experienced technician.

2.1 Removing the Top Cover
The first step is to remove the chassis cover. You will need a philips screwdriver to detach all of the 6 screws. Then lift off  the cover.

Figure 2-1: Removing the top cover
2.2Replacing the Filter
The fan filter is located at the front end of the chassis. Refer to Figure 2-2.

1. Remove the two screws located at the bottom of the filter cover.
2. Detach the filter cover by pulling it downward.
3. Replace the filter with a new one.
4. Re-attach the filter cover and secure the two screws

2.3 Installing the FDD and HDD
The FDD and HDD drive bay is located in the lower deck of the chassis. The upper deck has to be detached first, in order to make the lower deck accessible for installation. Separating the two decks

1. Remove the chassis cover. See Section 2.1 for further information.
2. Unplug both power supply connectors from the backplane.
3. In order to detach the upper deck, remove the four screws. Two of the screws are located at the front of the upper deck, and two at the back.
4. Lift the upper deck out of the chassis.

Installing the FDD and HDD

1. Remove the four screws of the drive bay so that you can detach it.
2. Detach the two screws on each side of the FDD cover, and remove the cover.
3. Attach the FDD unit onto the drive bay.
4. Fit the HDD unit onto the drive bay.
5. Connect the power supply cables.
6. Connect both FDD and HDD cables.

Completing the installation

1. Return the drive bay to its original position and re-attach the screws.
2. Put the upper deck back and secure it with the four screws.
3. Plug the power supply connectors back into the backplane.
4. Re-attach the chassis cover.

2.4 Installing the Cards
To install slot-board computers and other add-on boards:
