All-in-one system chassis
|
The IPC-SX17 and IPC-SX15 are both
spacious system chassis with room
for ATX, extended ATX form-factor
motherboard, or a 14-slot passive
backplane that provides a scalable
rackmount enclosure for single or
dual processor-based server and workstation.
With an integral LCD monitor and built-in
AD conversion board, the IPC series
offers incredible versatility in an
all-in-one design.

ATX and backplane support |
With ATX form-factor,
you get more power for the money.
You'll also find the most recent advances
in PC technology deployed in ATX motherboards
such as 8X AGP graphics, dual channel
memory, gigabit ethernet, PCI-X bus
etc.
In a passive backplane setup, all active
components are mounted on plug-in
cards. There is a price premium, but
you get faster maintenance, more slots
for add-on cards, legacy bus (ISA,
PC-104) support. Many industrial control
features such as programmable watchdog
timer are also available. |
High resolution LCD |
High resolution LCDs
are ideal for graphical interface
and graphics intensive applications.
Both models have SXGA resolution screens.
SXGA resolution equals to 1280 x 1024 number of pixels. Compared to an XGA
display, there is 66% more display area. The increased screen resolution has
a direct impact on productivity, because now you can show more of your data,
images, spreadsheet with less scrolling.

Built-in
AD video signal conversion board
|
The integrated
LCd monitor has a built-in AD conversion
board that lets the LCD monitor interface
with standard analog VGA video signals.
There is also built-in gamma correction,
brightness, contrast, hue and saturation
control, auto image positioning, input
format detection, and compatibility
with all DVI-compliant signal sources.

Shielded
display |
The
flat panel display is housed in its
enclosure shielded from the board
compartment and drive cage. |
|
Vibration-dampened
drive cage |
Drives are mounted in
the drive cage through special rubber
grommets to minimize shock and vibration. |
|
Card
retaining bracket |
Full-length
card are supported in the board compartment.
Add-on cards are held securely in
the slots by a special retaining bracket.
The retaining bracket has adjustable
clips in each slot position for individual
card support. |

Edge light technology (LCD)
|
Backlight systems for LCDs can be divided roughly into two types:
1. directly-under (reflective) systems, and
2. sidelight/edge light (light-guiding plate) types
In the directly-under system a fluorescent lamp is positioned in a cage consisting
of a reflective plate and diffusive plate, so that light from the lamp is reflected
and scattered. Fluorescent lamp shapes in use include straight tubes, U-shaped
and W-shaped lamps. A light curtain and a diffuser are mounted over the lamps
to reduce unevenness in brightness. Compared with other methods, the directly
under system offers higher brightness.
Sidelight/edge light uses a straight CCFL lamp along one side of the LCD, or
two lamps on opposite sides of the LCD, or L-shaped lamps along the opposite
corners of the LCD. Edge light units use a reflector and light-guiding plate
to direct light from the fluorescent lamp to the screen to evenly disperse light
over the LCD. LCD panels using this backlighting technique are usually thinner
and have good average brightness. In addition, greater ease in changing the
lamp, and lower power consumption are also important features.
