1. Introduction

The IPC-BX/M630(PCI) is an IBM PC/AT compatible, box computer designed for industrial use based on a low-power-consumption CPU of the Low Voltage Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Processor, to operate as a completely nature-cooled (fanless) system. The box computer provides a variety of interfaces including th e USB, 10 0BASE-TX, and RS-232C ports, capable of serving for a wide range of applications as a compact platform based on a general-purpose PC OS. As this series incorporates handpicked components such as the em bedded types of CPU and chi pset, it excel s in environm ental resistance and remains in stable supply for an extended period of time. You can therefore use the box computer un der severe operating condi tions such as FA with ease.

The box computer (BOX-PC series) is available in the following three models:

Base Model

IPC-BX/M630(PCI)C

Model with Expansion Slot

IPC-BX/M630(PCI)CP (Expansion Slot(PCI x 2)type) IPC-BX/M630(PCI)C4P (Expansion Slot (PCI x 4)type)

- Do not modify th e product.

- Always turn off the power before inserting or removing circuit boards or cables.

- This product is not intended for use in aerospace, space, nuclear power, medical equipment, or other applications that require a very high level of reliability. Do not use the product in such applications.

- If using this product in applications where safety is critical such as in railways, automotive, or disaster prevention or security systems, please contact your retailer.

- Do not attempt to replace the battery as inappropriate battery replacement poses a risk of explosion.

- For battery r eplacem ent, contact your retailer as it must be perform ed as a process o f repair.

- When disposing of a used battery, follow the disposal procedures stipulated under the relevant laws and municipal ordinances.

CAUTION

- Do not use or store the product in a location exposed to extremely high or low temperature or susceptible to rapid temperature changes. Example: - Exposure to direct sun

- In the vicinity of a heat source

- Do not use the product in extremely humid or dusty locations. It is extremely dangerous to use the product with its interior penetrated by water or any other fluid or conductive dust. If the product must be used in such an environment, install it on a dust-proof control panel, for example.

- Avoid using or storing the device in locations subject to shock or vibration.

- Do not use the product in the vicinity of de vices t hat ge nerate str on g magne tic f orce or noise. Such devices w ill cau se th is de vic e to ma lf un ction .

- Do not use or store the product in the presence of chemicals.

- The lower center of the left face (seen from the connector's front surface) may become hot. T o avoid being bur ned, do not touc h that section while the prod uct is in operation or immediately after turning off the power . Avoid installation in a location where people may come into contact with that section.

- To clean the BOX-PC, wipe it gently with a soft clot h dampened with eit her water or mild detergent. Do not use chemicals or a volatile solvent, such as benzene or thinner, to prevent pealing or discoloration of the paint.

1. Introduction

- 2.5 inches hard disk drive (HDD) of our co mpany has not guaranteed use by continuation and continuation power for 24 hours. When it is used by continuation operation and continuation power a life fails extremely. In the case of a 24-hours operation system, use of our company silicon disk drive (SDD) is recommended.

- Before installing or uninstalling an expansion board (the CP model) or connecti ng or disconnecting a connector, be sure to unplug the power cable from the wall outlet.

- CONTEC reserves the right to refuse to service a product modified by the user.

- In the event of failure or abnormality (foul smells or excessive heat generation), unplug the power cord immediately and cont act the sal es re p res ent ati ve you purchased the product from or the CONTEC Information Center.

- Use an AC cable that is compatible with both the rated supply voltage and the receptacle. (The cable provided with the product is for 125VAC.)

- Component Life:

1. Power supply--- Estimated life is about 10 years based on continual operation at

40°C (horizontal installation). However, (higher) operating temperatures will result in shorter life.

2. Battery--- The internal calendar clock and CMOS RAM are backed by a

Lithium primary battery. The backup time at a temperature of 25°C with the power disconnected is 10 years or more.

* Replacement of expendables is handled as a repair (there will be a charge).

- Regarding “FCC PART15 Class A Notice”

The ferrite core must be installe d in the following each cable so t hat this product m ay

suit the above-mentioned st anda rd.

- USB cable, speaker connection cable Optional Ferrite Core (FRC2009A-6) or SEIWA E04SR200935A (or an

equivalent product)

Open the ferrite core case and wind the cable around it once near the connector and

close it.

- Regarding “VCCI Class A, EMC Instruction Class A Notice”

The ferrite core must be installe d in the following each cable so t hat this product m ay

suit the above-mentioned st anda rd.

- Speaker connection cable Optional Ferrite Core (FRC2009A-6) or SEIWA E04SR200935A (or an

Installing the Hard Disk

(1) Connect the provided HDD cable to the hard disk (silicon disk).

Note!

Connect the HDD cable in alignment with pins from the left end of the connector on the HDD side. Four master/slave setting pins are left unconnected on the right side. Be aware that connecting the power with the connector misaligned will damage the cable.

(2) By threading the cable through the hole on the base of the hard disk bracket,

fasten the disk to its brac ket using fo ur sc rews .

- Fasten the disk using the outer or inner hole dependi ng on the model you are using. (The figure below shows an example that uses the inner screw hole.)

Note!

When installing two drives in the HDD bracket, you can place either the hard disk drive (HDD) or silicon disk drive (SDD) in the upper position and only the SDD in the lower position. If you install two disk drives, set the ir jum pers according to the instructions in their manuals to assign them as the master and slave devices.

Main Memory (DIMM) Installation Procedure

The mounted SO-DIMM sockets vary depending on the type of the circuit board used.

This type of circuit board has single sockets on its front and back. The socket on the back is equipped with standard memory. To add more memory, install it to the socket on the front of the board.

Follow the next steps to fit the memory into the DIMM socket:

(1) Insert the DIMM into its socket with the notch positioned on the right side. (See

the note.)

(Note)

Insert SO-DIMMs at an angle of about 30 degrees. An attempt to insert them at inappropriate angles as marked with X above may break the SO-DIMM sockets.

About 30°

(2) Press in the direction indicated by the arrow. You hear a click as the memory fits

into the socket.

Installation Requirements

The BOX-PC can be installed in any orientation (1) - (3). Avoid orientation (4) - (6) since it might not adequately dissipate heat. Similarly, to maintain the ambient temperature within the range specified in the specifications, ensure a clearance between the unit and surrounding equipment of at least 100mm for the top and rear and 50mm for the bottom and sides.

W atchdog Timer

The watchdog timer is started by output of A5 to I/O port address 4002h. A second output of A5 to the same port within the sp ecif ied ex pirati on ti me on ce a gain tr igge rs the watchdog timer. If a time-out occurs, a reset or an interrupt is generated according to the 4004h port setting or an alarm is output according to the 4004h port setting.

The time-out period can be set between 1 and 255 seconds depending on the timer value setting for the WDT counter port (4003h).

The watchdog timer stops by reading port 4002h. The alarm-out output is cancelled at the same time.

The alarm out is output from the RAS connector's PO2/WDT (pin 12) and cancelled when reset.

The alarm-out output can be set to BIOS startup by BIOS setup (see Chapter 4), watchdog timer startup, or watchdog timer time-up.

Specifications

- Time to be set: 1sec - 255sec

- Interrupt or reset: Resets or generates an interrupt at time-up (Port setting).

- External alarm output: Optocoupler isolated open-collector output (the output status is set by software). For more information, see the general-purpose I/O specifications.

- I/O addresses: 4000h - 4007h (RAS port)
