The HPERC products are intended for users of embedded systems requiring long life-cycles,
configuration control, and ruggedness in hardened military packages. HPERC models feature
Extreme Rugged™ computer boards available with varieties of processors and memory. An
optional operating system (OS) can be pre-loaded onto an optional internal storage device (two
2 ½" Solid State Drives (SSDs). Board Support Packages (BSPs) are provided on the optional
Support Software QuickDrive™ to support addition al OSs. Just use a USB memory to load your
application software and you are ready to use your system.

1.8Setup Steps
Follow the setup steps in this section in the order listed. Skip any step s th at do not app ly to your
application.
1) Open shipping box.
2) Verify contents.
• Locate the HPERC-IBR-M Contents List.
• Unpack the contents of the shipping box.
• V erify the contents of the shipping box against the Contents List included with
your HPERC-IBR-M.
• If anything is missing or damaged, call your sales representative. Refer to the
ADLINK web page at http://www.adlinktech.com
for contact information.
1.9Setting Up the Work Space
CAUTION: T o prevent damage to the HPERC-IBR-M, ensure sufficient clearance exists
around the cooling solution for unrestricted airflow.
The air temperature inside the enclosure could rise above the specified operating temperature
limits if the airflow through the cooling solutionis restricted.
3) Select workbench
location.
4) Unpack
HPERC-IBR-M.
• The workbench location should be a flat clean surface for setup and operation
(including the connection of any external peripherals and optional devices).
• Ensure sufficient airflow clearance exists around the complete enclosure.
• Remove the HPERC-IBR-M from its shipping container and place it on a flat
work surface.
• The HPERC-IBR-M enclosure combined with CPU, storage (SSD), and the
desired OS form a complete system, ready for operation.

1.13 Applying Power to the HPERC-IBR-M
HPERC-IBR-M
7) Follow these steps to
apply power to the
HPERC-IBR-M.
8) Verify the HPERC-IBR-M
satisfactorily powers on.
• Connect the AC Mating Cable to the AC Adapter (options.) See
Figure 1-2.
• Plug in the DC Cable Connector from the AC Adapter (option) to
the DC IN jack onthe HPERC-IBR-M. See Figure 1-5.
CAUTION: Power supplied to the unit must
be within the allowed range depending on
the model of the unit:
• +9VDC to +36VDC
CAUTION: Failure to provide proper power may
damage the system and void the warranty .
• Plug in the VGA or LCD monitor’s power cord to an AC outlet
and turn on the monitor.
• Plug in the AC Mating cable to an AC outlet.
• Press the HPERC-IBR-M Power On button on the breakout
cable to power on the HPERC-IBR-M.
• To enter the BIOS Setuppress the <Del> key during power-on
self test (POST).
Use BIOS Setup during the initial boot to set the
desired options.
• You should see POST complete successfully before the system
starts loading the operating system (optional.) If you are using
Linux, the boot loader will appear first, similar to the one shown
below with the corresponding OS name displayed.
9) Using the
Operating
System (OS)
(The Linux x.x OS is shown as an example.)
GNU GRUB version 0 .xx (xxxk lower/xxxxxx upper memory)
Linux Kernel 2.6.x-xx x (recovery mode)
Use the and keys to select which entry is highlighted.
Press Enter to boot the selec ted OS, ‘e’ to edit the
commands before booting, ‘a’ to modify the kerne l
arguments before booting, or ‘c’ for a command-line.
• You should see a prompt on the monitor screen indicating the OS is loading,
or has loaded.
• Refer to the respective OS manual (not supplied by ADLINK.)
• Refer to the HPERC-IBR-M QuickDrive for additional drivers and instructions.

HPERC-IBR-M
2 Internal Components
This chapter discusses the optional components inside the HPERC-IBR-M enclosure. These
components include the SSDs (Solid State Drives), the SD Memory Card, the PCI/104-Express
expansion module, the SODIMM memory, and the Mini PCIe Card.
2.1HPERC-IBR-M Assembly Procedures
The following procedures describe how to remove and install the HPERC-IBR-M internal components. To gain access to certain components in the HPERC-IBR-M, you first must remove
other components in the system.
NOTE: Some of the figures in this chapter show only the heat sink version of the HPERC-IBR-M
because the procedure described is the same for both versions. For clarity, the figures in this chapter
may not show some of the cables or components.
2.1.1Tools Required
Use these tools to install and remove components into or out of the HPERC-IBR-M enclosure.
X Hex screwdriver set
X Anti-static service kit - Use a complete anti-static service kit (or the equivalent) to remove
or install static-sensitive components. A complete anti-static service kit should include a
static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist or ankle strap.
2.1.2Shutting Down the HPERC-IBR-M
Always use the following procedure when shutting down the HPERC-IBR-M.
To shut down the HPERC-IBR-M
1) Initiate a shut down sequence through the OS, or hold down the power button on the
corresponding military breakout cable for 4-6 seconds to turn off power.
2) Disconnect the power cable from the DC Power IN connector of the I/O panel.
CAUTION: Components in the HPERC-IBR-M are sensitive to static electricity and can be easily
damaged by improper handling. Do the following when handling the HPERC-IBR-M.
Always use an anti-static wrist/ankle strap and a grounding mat.
Before you handle the HPERC-IBR-M, touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface to discharge any
static electricity.
21
2.1.3Replacing the SSDs (Solid State Drives)
The SSD slots are two of three externally accessible component slots on the enclosure. The
other externally accessible component slot is the SD memory card slot. SSDs allow you to
install an OS and store data for the system.
To remove the SSDs (if installed) from the enclosure side panel
1) Shut down the system as described earlier in Shutting Down the HPERC-IBR-M.
2) Remove the screws mounting the SSD cover plate as shown in Figure 2-7.
3) Remove the SSDs from their slots using the plastic tabs on each drive.

To install the SSDs into the enclosure side panel
1) Insert SSDs into their slots as shown in Figure 2-7, ensuring to seat the drive s fully on their
connectors.
2) Install the SSD cover plate using the screws provided. Ensure that the cover plate prop erly
aligns with the gaskets on the slots.

2.1.4Replacing the SD (Secure Digital) Memory Card
The SD memory card slot is one of three externally accessible component slots on the enclosure. The other externally accessible component slots are the SSD slots. The SD card allows
you to store data or install an operating system.
To remove the SD card from the enclosure side panel
1) Shut down the system and disconnect the enclosure from the power source as described
earlier in Shutting Down the HPERC-IBR-M.
2) Remove the screws mounting the SD card cover plate as shown in Figure 2-8.
3) Remove the SD card from its slot as shown. The card will automatically eject when pressed
inward.

2.1.6Replacing the PCI/104-Express expansion module
The HPERC-IBR-M allows for expandable IO with a slot for a stackable PCI/104-Express module, which is removable and can accommodate other stackable expansion boards. The PCI/
104-Express slot resides under the SSD bracket. Make sure to perform each of the steps in the
following procedure to replace a PCI/104-Express module.
To remove the PCI/104-Express module from the enclosure
1) Shut down the system as described earlier in Shutting Down the HPERC-IBR-M.
2) Remove the SSDs and cover plate as described earlier.
3) Remove the SSD bracket screws and bracket as shown in Figure 2-10, making sure not to
damage the SSDs if still mounted to the bracket.

2.1.7Replacing the SODIMM memory
The HPERC-IBR-M features one SODIMM socke t for up to 8GB of DDR3 memory, providing a
64-bit wide channel for un-buffered, ECC memory.
To remove the SODIMM from the enclosure
1) Shut down the system and disconnect the enclosure from the power source as described
earlier in Shutting Down the HPERC-IBR-M.
2) Remove the SSDs, system cover plate, SSD bracket, PCI/104-Express module as
described earlier.
3) Disconnect the three Flexible Flat Cables (FFCs) from their connectors on the IO board and
remove the Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) mounting screws as shown in Figure 2-12.
