Next-Generation 4U Rackmount Chassis with Innovative Industrial Design
Taipei, Taiwan, January 9, 2007 – Advantech has devoted itself to perfecting industrial platform solutions for over two decades, and we are thrilled to announce the release of our latest 4U rackmount chassis, the IPC-630. The IPC-630 represents the first in a line of new elegant silver models that feature compactness as the design keynote. It offers comprehensive support for both PICMG 1.0/1.3 backplanes up to 15 slots, and ATX motherboards. Two front USB ports and one front COM port offer exceptional I/O connectivity. Activated by a unique self-monitoring module, the four LEDs on the IPC-630 front panel display system health and the activity status of power supplies, system fans, thermal conditions and hard disk status. A wide range of power options, from single PS/2 300W/400W to redundant 300W/400W power supplies, provide customers great flexibility during the planning stages. The IPC-630 is definitely the best general purpose solution for a diverse spectrum of applications.
Outstanding Industrial Design
The IPC-630 is first, a solid industrial chassis with an elegant appearance. Its ingenious mechanical design can accommodate an ATX motherboard or backplane with up to 15 slots. The shockproof disk drive housing and rubber cushions protect the three front-accessible 5.25” and two 3.5” drive bays against harsh industrial environments. The lockable front door secures the unit against unauthorized access. Nylon air filters are much more durable and easy to care for than traditional sponge materials. The most outstanding mechanical innovation are newly-added screw holes located between the card-guiding rails; they are designed to fix a full-sized CPU card firmly onto the chassis, strengthening the overall system design. Finally, out of consideration for customers who would like to place corporate logos onto the chassis, the new logo panel of the IPC-630 is interchangeable, and one blank customizable logo panelis included in the package.
