Chapter 1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

The SPC-520P7 / SPC-520MB are PC/AT-compatible computer designed for high relibility applications,

not only easily installation and maintain for mission critical applications and harsh environment use, is a

high-end rackmount Fault Resilient IPC chassis. The SPC-520P7 includes a 7PCI/1ISA/1PICMG-slot

PC-bus compatible passive backplane and 400-watt ATX redudnant power supply. The SPC-520MB

can be installed ATX mother board and includes one 400-watt ATX power supply. Both SPC-520P7/MB

provide three hot-swappable fan cooling system and accepts up to ten front-accessable half-heigh disk

drives.

SPC-520P7/MB feature an advanced fault detection and alarm notification system to monitor its own

hardware status. It is dangerous and will cause a lot of loss if your PC system shuts down without any

warning in advance.

Fault Detection and Alarm Notification

Power failure: It works only when you install the redundant power supply (RPS-400ATX)

If either of the two power modules fails, the dedicated LED (PWR) changes color from green to red

also audio alarm. The dedicated LED remains red for failed power module until it fixed.

Fan failure: If either of the three cooling fans fails, the dedicated LED (Fan 1 or Fan 2) changes

color from green to red also audio alarm. The dedicated LED remains red for failed fan set until it

fixed.

The fan ass'y can be hot-swap if either fan is fail Dual fans for redundant application

High Temperature:If the chassis interior temperature exceeds 65oC(149oF)(standard setting), the

LED changes color from green to red also audio alarm. The LED remains red until the temperature

goes below 63oC

Temperature Select: The temperature can be set on four status by adjust the switch on alarm

board : 65oC (Default setting) , 55oC , 70oC and 75oC

Audible Alarm: Buzzer on board 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. Howev-

er, the alarm indicator will stay red until the fault condition is resolved.

Self-Test: Press the Alarm reset button for 8 senconds, the alrm board will self-test automatically

for all functions. The alarm board also can monitor the temperature's sensor IC. If the sensor is failed

or no connection, the buzzer will alarm as " Beep x Beep x ...".

The Controls for System

The SPC-520 provides one soft-switch and one system reset botton to re-boot the PC system on the

front panel. See figure as following :

2.1 Remov the cover

Chapter 2 System Setup

The SPC-520 is a ATX-compatible computer designed for industrial applications. This rugged chassis

meets the EIA RS-310C 19" rackmount standard.

Setting up your SPC-520 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.

WARNING:Disconnect all power from the chassis before you install

the CPU cards. Unplug the power cord from the wall,

don't 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

There are screws near the top along the sides and on the rear secure the cover to the chassis. Remove

them, and then slide the cover toward the rear chassis. See figure 2.1 below:

6SPC-520 User's Manual

2.2 Removing the Handles

The handles and mounting ears for the front panel can be removed as follows. Please see figures 2.2

below

2.3 The Cooling Fans

There are three cooling fans inside the chassis. To replace the fans for maintainence : open the top

cover as the figure 2.1 and loosen the thumbscrews, then plug the whole fan ass'y. please refer to figure

2.3 below.

2.4 Removing the disk drive bay

2.4 Installing the Disk Drives

1. Open the top cover as figure2.1. There are two independent disk drive bays on the both sides.

Remove the four outer screws which mount the drive-bay to the chassis. See figure 2.4 below

2. Slide the drive-bay toward the rear chassis and lift it free of the chassis. Remove the cover of the

drive bay front and insert the drives into their proper locations in the drive bay. See figure 2.5

2.5 Inserting the drives into the drive bay

2.5 Temperature Setting

If the chassis interior temperature exceeds 65oC(149oF)(default setting), the LED changes color from

green to red also audio alarm. The LED remains red until the temperature goes below 63oC

Temperature also can be selected (SW1) on the alarm board inside the chassis :
