Page 6: Precautions
ULTIMA I NDUSTRIAL NTRODUCTION RECAUTIONS Certain precautions are necessary when designing with, handling, and using circuit boards. It is imperative that precautions are taken at all stages to avoid electro-static discharges, which will damage boards. Those boards fitted with an on-board lithium battery must be handled carefully to avoid maltreatment of the battery that could create a hazard. -
Page 7: Electromagnetic Compatibility
ULTIMA I NDUSTRIAL NTRODUCTION ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY This product has been assessed operating in representative, standard configurations. As with any PC product, however, final installation & configuration can vary significantly, and so the following guidelines are offered to help ensure that compatibility is maintained. All components added to a system should either carry appropriate equivalent levels of compliance, or be tested for compliance as part of the final system, and should be installed in accordance with supplier recommendations. -
Page 8: Getting Started
ULTIMA I NDUSTRIAL ETTING STARTED GETTING STARTED ANUAL RGANISATION This manual describes in detail the Blue Chip Technology ULTIMA 2U Passive Industrial PC. We have tried to include as much information as possible but we have not duplicated information that is provided in the standard IBM Technical References, unless it proved to be necessary to aid in the understanding of the ULTIMA Industrial PC. -

Page 16: Installation
ULTIMA I INSTALLATION NDUSTRIAL INSTALLATION LECTRICAL This item must be connected to an earthed socket. A stud is fitted to the rear panel of the chassis. It is recommended that this is also connected to a good earth within the racking system. Cutting washers must be used in order to maintain a good connection. - Page 17 ULTIMA I INSTALLATION NDUSTRIAL Figure 5 2U Ladder Holes (left hand side) SLIDE RAIL AND BRACKET ASSEMBLY Referring to Figure 6.1, withdraw the inner slide section and disconnect by depressing the spring catch. Figure 6.2 shows outer and inner slide rail sections disconnected, top and bottom respectively. Figure 6.1 Figure 6.2 Blue Chip Technology Limited...
- Page 18 ULTIMA I INSTALLATION NDUSTRIAL Figure 6.3, shows the relationship between the brackets and slide rail outer section. The small bracket fits to the front of the cabinet, the larger to the rear. Note the rail orientation, with middle slide visible at the front. Figure 6.3 Referring to Figure 6.4 and 6.5, attach the front bracket to the slide rail outer section.
- Page 19 ULTIMA I INSTALLATION NDUSTRIAL SLIDE RAIL INSTALLATION Referring to Figure 6.8, insert fillister head screws through cage nut B at front and rear. Figure 6.8 Figure 6.9 Referring to Figure 6.9, carefully position slide rail and bracket assembly on to fillister screws B at front and rear.
- Page 20 ULTIMA I INSTALLATION NDUSTRIAL Referring to 6.12, withdraw the middle slide until it locks into the extended position. Figure 6.12 UTLIMA INSTALLATION The following pictures show a 4U chassis. The assembly for the 2U chassis is exactly the same. Referring to Figure 7.1 and 7.2, attach the inner slide rails to ULTIMA sides using 4 off M4 x 6 screws.
- Page 21 ULTIMA I INSTALLATION NDUSTRIAL Referring to Figure 7.3 and 7.4, slide unit on to extended middle sections until spring catches lock. Press the catches again and slide unit home. Tighten rear fillister screws. Adjust unit until front panel is central and does not foul equipment panels above and below.

Page 22: Maintenance
ULTIMA I NDUSTRIAL AINTENANCE MAINTENANCE RECAUTIONS It is recommended that the unit is switched off and any mains cables disconnected before removing any cover. Some systems may incorporate battery-backed power supplies, in which case a failure to switch off the supply may result in internal electronics still receiving power. Note that some components may become hot during operation, and so it is generally good practice to allow the unit to cool before starting any significant internal maintenance work WARNING... -
Page 23: Removing The Top Cover
ULTIMA I NDUSTRIAL AINTENANCE EMOVING THE OVER It is not necessary to remove all the cover screws to remove the Top Cover. First loosen the three front top cover screws, and then remove the three rear cover screws highlighted in Figure 8.2. - Page 24 ULTIMA I NDUSTRIAL AINTENANCE Figure 9.3 Figure 9.4 Figure 9.3 Figure 9.5 With the drive cage fully removed as indicated in Figure 9.5, there is access to all bays.

Page 25: Adding/Removing I/O Boards
ULTIMA I NDUSTRIAL AINTENANCE I/O B DDING EMOVING OARDS I/O boards are located on a central assembly that consists of the Passive Backplane and the CPU card. In order to add or remove any I/O board the assembly must first be removed from the chassis. Note: Due to the configuration inside the chassis, only 1 full length PCI card is supported, and this must be placed in the top connector, above the HDD. - Page 26 ULTIMA I NDUSTRIAL AINTENANCE In figure 10.5, C indicates where the IDE cables need to be removed. If IDE drives are fitted, then there may be two cables, one for the CD-ROM and one for the HDD. D indicates the connector for the FDD cable if fitted. In figure 10.6, E shows the USB cable header that must be removed and F shows the location of the S-ATA cable headers if fitted.

Page 27: Changing A Hdd
ULTIMA I NDUSTRIAL AINTENANCE HANGING A HDD The hard drive assembly is separate from the Drive Cage, and for access you have to remove the cover. Depending on which drive you want to change, it may be necessary to first remove the CPU assembly to allow access to the drives. - Page 28 ULTIMA I NDUSTRIAL AINTENANCE The 2 Drive is removed as follows, again, due to the proximity of the grounding screw to the CPU assembly, it may be necessary to remove the CPU Assembly first. Firstly, remove the EMC grounding connection A shown in Figure 11.4. Next disconnect the Power and Data cables from the drive, and remove the screws B as indicated in Figure 11.5.
