Please refer to Appendix A, Exploded Diagram, for all the detailed parts names of IPC-623. Note: Use caution when installing or operating the components with the chassis open.
The rear section includes: 1. Backplane. 2. Add-on cards. 3. Thermal sensors. 4. Alarm board. 5. Hold-down clamp with rubber pad underneath. 2.2 Removing the chassis covers There are dual top covers for IPC-623, top front cover and top rear cover.
Figure 2-1-b: Removing the top rear chassis cover 2.3 Installing the backplane IPC-623 supports backplanes of up to 20 slots. To install the backplane, please refer to Figure 2-2 and proceed as follows: 1. Unscrew the 4 screws located on both sides of the hold-down clamp, then pull out the clamp.
Figure 2-2 Installing the backplane 2.4 Installing CPU and add-on cards IPC-623 supports up to 20 add-on cards. To install a CPU card or add-on cards, please proceed as follows: 1. Remove the top rear chassis cover and hold-down clamp. Please refer to section 2.2 and 2.3 for details.
properly and the other edge of the card has been inserted into the plastic guiding fillister. Fasten the card by a screw on top of the I/O bracket. 5. Repeat Step 3 and 4 if there is more than one add-on card. 6.
2.5 Hold-down clamp The hold-down clamp protects all the cards from vibration and shock. After inserting the CPU card and add-on cards, remember to install the hold-down clamp according to the following steps. 1. After plugging in the CPU card and add-on cards, please insert the rubber cushions provided into the notches of the hold-down clamp and adjust them so that their positions correspond with the locations of the cards.
Figure 2-5-b: The circle hole should face the rear panel 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 removable disk drives, etc.), an external 3.5” FDD and an internal 3.5” HDD.
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.
If the system is connected with a single PS/2 power supply, the PWR LED is always green when the power is on. When the PWR LED is RED, it indicates a redundant power supply module failure. To stop the alarm beep, press the Alarm Reset button. Examine the redundant power supply module right away and replace the failed module with a good one.
3.2 Replacing the Cooling Fan There are three cooling fans located in the middle of the chassis. All of them are hot-swappable and provide the system with ample cooling by blowing air rearwards. To replace the cooling fan, please refer to Figure 3-1 and proceed as below.
3.3 Replacing the Filter The filter is to block the dust or the 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.
3.3.2 Replacing the side filter 1. Remove the two screws located on the edges of the filter cover and pull it up. Please see Figure 3-3. 2. Remove the filter and replace it with a new one. 3. Tighten the two screws to secure the filter cover on the chassis. 4.
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 successfully.
the currently installed one. 7. Slide the power supply module inward until it locks into the right position. 8. For the 570 W or 810 W redundant power supply, secure the screw. 9. Return the handle to its original place. 10.
fasten it with the four screws. 7. Plug the ATX power connector and +12V power connector to the backplane, disk drives and the essential peripheral power connectors. 8. Return the power supply bracket to the chassis and fasten it. 9. Return the front top cover and plug in the AC inlet.

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 3-8 and proceed as follows: 1.
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: Any power supply module of the redundant power supply fails b. One of the cooling fans fai1s Internal temperature of the chassis is too high To stop the alarm beep, simply press the Alarm Reset button on the front panel.
