2.2 IPC-610-H Series Installation
The IPC-610-H can be of two basic models, IPC-610BP-00XH and
IPC-610MB-00XH.

2.2.1 IPC-610BP-00XH

IPC-610BP-00XH has no backplane, no power supply and has

momentary switch on front panel. The momentary switch is suitable for
ATX power supply such as PS-250ATX-Z, PS-300ATX-Z.
For IPC-610BP-00XH, please plug 20-pin ATX power connector with
backplane first, then use a orange-white wire (1700030500) to connector
between CN# (PSON_GND_5VSB) of Backplane and “ATX feature
connector” (CN20) of SBC, finally connect POWER SW wire with the
“ATX soft power switch”(CN21) on SBC to finish the installation.

2.2.2 IPC-610MB-00XH

ACP-610MB-00X is for M/B using, it is with ATX M/B rear I/O.

ACP-610MB-00X is without M/B inside, has no power supply and has
momentary switch on front panel. The momentary switch is suitable for
ATX power supply such as PS-250ATX-Z, PS-300ATX-Z. For
ACP-610MB-00X, please plug 20-pin ATX power connector with your
ATX M/B, and then connect POWER SW wire with your ATX M/B to
finish the installation. Please refer your ATX M/B installation guide for
correct connection.

2.3 LED Indicators

2.3.1 System Status LED

The System Status LED shows as following:

LED Description GREEN

PWR System Power Normal
HDD Hard Drive Data access
activity

Tablel 2-1

2.3.2 Power Status LED

The Power Status LED indicates the status of the backplane voltage
signals.

LED Description Light No light

+3.3V +3.3V signal Normal No output
+5V + 5V signal Normal No output
+12V +12V signal Normal No output
-5V - 5V signal Normal No output
-12V -12V signal Normal No output
+5Vsb +5Vsb signal Normal No output

Table 2-2

When an LED fails to light, it indicates a problem with one of the

voltage signals. Check to make sure that the power supply connector is
properly attached to the backplane. If problem persists, consult an
experienced technician.

2.4 Cooling Fan and Filter
There are two (2) Cooling Fans located inside the chassis. The Cooling
Fans are easy maintenance and provide adequate cooling to the system
by blowing air inward. Please refer the Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6 to
replace the defective fan. Press the location A and then pull the B
which is showed on Figure 2-6 then the connector could be released.
Please refer Figure 2-7 to change the filter if you found the filter was
blocked with dust or other particles
