Fault detection and alarm notification Power failure: This operates only when you have installed the redundant power supply (RPS-400ATX). If either of the two power modules fails, the dedicated LED (PWR) changes color from green to red, and an audio alarm also sounds. The dedicated LED remains red for the failed power module until it is fixed. Fan failure: If any of the three cooling fans fails, the dedicated LED changes color from green to red, and an audio alarm also sounds. The dedicated

Chapter 2 System Setup The SPC-530 series is an ATX-compatible computer designed for industrial applications. This rugged chassis meets the EIA RS-310C 19" rackmount standard. Setting up your SPC-530 series 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 f

Appendix A Backplanes (Optional) PCA-6120P4 Rev. A1: 15 ISA / 4 PCI / 1 PICMG-slot passive backplane Dimensions: 420 x 260 mm Termination resistor signals The termination resistors provide an impedance mismatch at the end of the bus, to prevent signal reflections. This mismatch has to be balanced by the capability of the CPU and optional cards to electrically drive the load imposed by the resistor.
