Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The IPC-6908 is a high-end PC/AT-compatible desktop/wallmount fault resilient IPC chassis designed
for high-reliability applications. It can be easily installed and maintained for mission critical applica-
tions and harsh environment use. The IPC-6908 includes an 8-slot PC-bus compatible passive back-
plane, and a 260-watt switching power supply with an ultrahigh output rating at -12 V and a
hot-swappable fan cooling system. The IPC-6908 accepts up to 4 disk drives: one 3.5" front accessible
drive, two half-height drives and one 3.5" drive inside.
The IPC-6908 features an advanced fault detection and alarm notification system to monitor its own
hardware status. If your PC system shuts down without any prior warning, it could cause considerable
loss. The IPC-6908, the fault resilient IPC, is designed to prevent this from happening.

•Input voltage: 85 to 130 VAC or 180 to 260 VAC @ 47 ~ 63 Hz, switchable
•Output voltages: +5 V @ 25 A, +12 V @ 9 A, -5 V @ 0.5 A, -12 V @ 2 A
•Minimum load: +5 V @ 1 A, +12 V @ 0.1 A
•MTBF: 200,000 hours at 70% load
•Safety: UL/CSA/TUV approved
•EMI: Meets FCC/VDE Class B
Environmental Specifications
•Operating temperature: 32 to 122° F (0 to 50° C)
•Relative humidity: 10 to 95% @ 40° C, non-condensing
•Safety: UL / C-UL approved
•EMI: Meets FCC/VDE Class A
•CE compliant
Fault Detection and Alarm Notification
•Fan failure: If either of the two cooling fans fails, the dedicated LED (Fan 1 or Fan 2) changes color
from green to red and an audio alarm sounds. The dedicated LED remains red for the failed fan unit
until it is fixed
The fan assembly can be hot-swapped if either fan fails. Dual fans provide redundant application
•High Temperature: If the chassis' interior temperature exceeds 65° C (149° F) (standard setting),
the LED changes color from green to red and an audio alarm sounds. The LED remains red until the
temperature falls below 63° C
Temperature select: The temperature can be set to four status levels by adjusting the switch on the
alarm board:
65° C (default setting), 55° C , 70° C and 75° C
•Audible Alarm: Speaker is activated (continous beep) as soon as a malfunction is detected and
sounds until the alarm reset button is pressed. The alarm reset button is on the front panel. However,
the alarm indicator will stay red until the fault condition is resolved.
•Self-test: Press the Alarm Reset button for 8 seconds. The alarm board will self-test automatically for
all functions. The alarm board can also monitor the temperature sensor IC. If the sensor has failed or
there is no connection, the speaker will sound off as "Beep x Beep x ...".

Chapter 2 System Setup
Setting up your IPC-6908 requires only a screwdriver and a small amount of time. Before you begin,
you should also gather together all of the cards you plan to install, as well as the disk drives you plan
to use.
The doors are located on the chassis front cover, providing access to the control panel. This offers the
disk drive and air filter protection against damage, and allows for easy accessibility. The control panel
functions include: CPU reset switch and alarm reset switch on front, power on/off switch on back and
five LED indicators to assist in monitoring system status. On the rear panel, there is a ground point
(earthing point) located on the bottom right hand corner. This provides a ground for the whole system
and is attached via a screw.
WARNING:Disconnect all power from the chassis before you install the CPU
cards. Unplug the power cord from the wall, do not just turn off
the power switch. If you are not sure what to do, take the job to
an experienced professional.
2.1 Removing the cover
Unscrew the two thumbscrews on the rear, and then slide the cover toward the rear chassis. See
figure 2.1 below:
2.4 Removing the cover
6IPC-6908 User's Manual
2.2 Installing plug-in cards
After removing the cover, you can easily install plug-in cards. Please see figure 2.2 below:
2.2 Installing plug-in cards
2.3 The hold-down clamp
The IPC-6908 uses a hold-down clamp to ensure the plug-in cards are located securely. It also offers
protection against shock and vibration. The hold-down clamp is built-in on the upper cover. Insert the
rubber buffers provided with your kit into the hold-down clamp. These buffers offer the plug-in cards
two levels of protection against vibration.
2.3 Inserting the rubber buffers
IPC-6908 User's Manual 7
2.4 Replacing the filter
The filter is located on the front upper door. Under continuous use, the filter should be replaced about
once a month. To replace the filter, refer to figure 2.4 below and do the following:
1. Open the door by pressing the latch on the top of the door.
2. Remove the filter and replace it with a new filter.
3. Close the door.
2.4 Replacing the filter
2.5 Installing the fan assembly
Remove the cover and slide it towards the rear side. The fan assembly can be hot-swapped, so there is
no need to turn off the power. Remove/insert the fan by using your fingers to unscrew the screw
fasteners on the top of the fan assembly. Please refer to figure 2.5 below:
2.5 Hot-swappable fan assembly
