Product overview
Product overview
The ISIS Industrial Compact Enclosure (ICE) encloses a special build version of the ISIS Single Board
Computer (SBC). The ISIS has been modified so that it can plug directly into the ISIS ICE interface
PCB thereby transferring essential interconnection signals such as USB, Ethernet, RS232 and power
to the front panel connectors. The ISIS ICE also protects the ISIS, and provides a CE-compliant
product for use straight out of the box.
The ISIS ICE consists of two extruded ‘U’ shaped sections fitted together and held in place by end
panels. The end panels are fitted with PC style breakout connectors.
Up to three TNC style RF connectors can be added to provide breakouts for the optional GPS, GPRS,
and WiFi modules.
The GPS requirement must be specified when ordering as this is not an aftermarket option.
For all detailed information on the setting up and use of the ISIS please refer to the ISIS Single Board
Computer user manual available on the Eurotech website: www.eurotech.com
The ISIS ICE is available fitted with an optional hard disc drive. This option is also available as an after
market accessory available from Eurotech.
.
Variants
The ISIS ICE is available in three sizes according to the size of the extruded ‘U’ section. The three
sizes available are High-High (as above), High-Low and Low-Low:
The High-High option includes the ISIS ICE LINUX High/High variant and the ISIS ICE XPe
High/High variant. These variants offer the largest available I/O expansion with the addition of
up to two PC/104 I/O cards. Space for a third PC/104 card is available. For details on how to
add the third PC/104 card please contact Eurotech sales.
The High-Low option includes the ISIS ICE LINUX High/Low variant and the ISIS ICE XPe
High/Low variant which allow for one additional PC/104 I/O card to be fitted.
Low-Low option includes the ISIS ICE LINUX Low/Low variant and the ISIS ICE XPe Low/Low
variant which have no I/O expansion available but are much more compact.

ISIS ICE - user manual
Interface PCB
All variants of the ISIS ICE contain the main ISIS ICE interface PCB. The ISIS plugs directly into the
ISIS ICE interface PCB which acts as the main PC interface to the PC/104 stack. Any expansion
boards that are required in the system plug into the PC/104 stack connectors. The PCB contains a
PSU module, a Mini PCI socket, a SIMM card socket, a memory backup battery and the breakout
connectors for the VGA, USB and Ethernet. Two RS232 connectors are routed out to the front
connector panel.
Mini PCI modules
The GPRS and Wi-Fi options can be made available by the addition of a Mini PCI express module.
The GPRS Mini PCI Express module should be fitted to the ISIS ICE interface PCB where the site for
the SIMM card is situated. The Wi-Fi Mini PCI Express module should be fitted directly to the ISIS.
Please refer to the ISIS Single Board Computer user manual available on the Eurotech website:
www.eurotech.com
This product was tested with the following Mini PCI card products:
GPRS, Sierra Wireless MC 8790
Wi-Fi, Gigabit modelGW-WS50G-RH
.
PC/104 expansion
A comprehensive range of PC/104 I/O cards are available from Eurotech. These are fitted to the
PC/104 stack. Many Eurotech PC/104 I/O cards are available with interconnect breakout cables which
fit directly into to the 25 way ‘D’ positions provided on the ISIS ICE for this purpose.

ISIS ICE end panels
The pictures below show the positions of the connectors on all three ISIS ICE variants. Connector
designations are clearly marked. The RF connectors shown are normally blanked off because GPS,
Wi-Fi and GPRS are optional. The PC section is common to all three variants.
The rear panel of the ISIS ICE variants differs due to the amount of I/O breakout that is available with each.
All I/O positions are normally fitted with blanking covers, as in the High-Low variant shown on the next page.

ISIS ICE power supply
ISIS ICE power supply
The ISIS ICE runs from a DC power-supply in the range 9-36V DC, taking a maximum of 5.5A at the
lower DC voltage. The unit is over voltage protected and will shut down if the protection current is
exceeded.
The required power connector for this product is provided with the ISIS ICE and is available as a spare
part from Eurotech.
The connector is Switchcraft part number S760K (www.switchcraft.com
It is essential that the wires are soldered onto the tabs on the connector. The front panel indicates the
polarity:
The positive conductor is soldered to the tab that is connected to the centre pin.
The negative conductor is soldered to the tab connected to the outer barrel.

Adding GPRS, Wi-Fi and PC104 I/O
To add the optional Wi-Fi, GPRS and PC/104 I/O modules, access to the inside of the enclosure is
required. The following describes how to dismantle the ISIS ICE in order to gain access to the
connection points for these options.
Tools required:
2mm and 2.5mm hexagon key/Allen keys (size measured across the flats).
A Pozidrive screwdriver suitable for M3 Pozidrive screws.
A medium sized flat bladed screwdriver.
Observe antistatic precautions when dismantling the ISIS ICE and when handling the ISIS.
To access the ISIS ICE board assembly, follow these steps:
1. Remove the four bottom M4 dome head hexagon drive fixing screws, two on the front cover and
two on the back cover.
2. Carefully remove the extrusion. (If a hard disk drive has previously been fitted it is recommended
that the complete rear cover is removed before attempting to remove the bottom extrusion.)
This gives complete access to the underside of the ISIS ICE interface PCB:
3. Remove the four remaining M4 fixing screws on the front and rear plate.

5. Place a medium sized flat bladed screwdriver into the space between the ISIS heatsink and the top
extrusion and twist to free the heat pad from the extrusion:
6. Remove the ISIS board assembly:
The assembly is still attached to the front panel and should not be dismantled further. Access to all
serviceable parts is now available. It should not be necessary to further dismantle the ISIS ICE.

Adding the optional hard disc drive
Observe antistatic precautions when dismantling the ISIS ICE and handling the Hard Disc Drive.
To add the optional hard disk drive, follow these steps:
1. Remove the bottom extrusion and rear panel as described in steps 1-4 of Adding GPRS, Wi-Fi and
PC104 I/O
, page 14. (You do not need to totally dismantle the enclosure).
2. Fit the hard disk drive to the hard disk drive mounting plate using the four screws and nuts
supplied. Do not tighten the nuts, they should be quite loose.

Hard disk drive bracket
Before proceeding, check that the orientation of the hard disk drive is correct when the two halves of the
extrusion are fitted together. You can do this by trying out the positions before sliding the hard disk drive
into place.
3. Fit the nuts into the grooves on the extrusion:
