Chapter 1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

Specifically designed for factory floors and other harsh industrial
environments, the IPC-7220 is a desktop/wall-mountable IPC chassis
that is ideal for system integrators or users who require a compact and
rugged computing platform for industrial automation applications.
Supporting ATX motherboards and up to five PCI and two ISA
full-length cards, the IPC-7220 allows a wide range computing
peripherals to be integrated with the chassis.
Unique alarm detection and notification to reduce system down time
The IPC-7220 comes with the unique alarm module. This module
automatically detects the system operating conditions, such as power,
HDD, FAN, and system temperature, and it shows the system status on
the front visible LED indicators. Once any failure happens, the module
also gives an audible alarm to notify users to take necessary actions.
Flexible storage options
The IPC-7220 provides abundant data storage solutions, such as two
front-accessible 5.25" disk drives, one FDD and one internal 3.5" HDD.
The front accessible USB and PS/2 keyboard I/O interfaces can be
connected with various peripheral devices for data input, backup, and
transferring.
Outstanding mechanical designs
The IPC-7220 can be placed on desktops or mounted bi-directionally, and
using the supplied brackets, the IPC-7220 can be easily bottom or
right-mounted onto most surfaces, such as walls or workbenches. The
shock-resistant drive bay design and the rubber-buffered hold-down
clamp design protect the system against harsh industrial environments or
unexpected shock. The lockable front door prevents from any
unauthorized access to data storage. All these outstanding features make
IPC-7220 the best choices for price, performance and total cost of
ownership.
