ULTIMA INDUSTRIAL PC INTRODUCTION

PRECAUTIONS

Certain precautions are necessary when designing with, handling, and using circuit boards. It is imperative

that precautions are taken at all stages to avoid electro-static discharges, which will damage boards. Those

boards fitted with an on-board lithium battery must be handled carefully to avoid maltreatment of the

battery that could create a hazard.

ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGES

Some of the devices within the Industrial PC can be totally destroyed by static electricity. Also bear in mind

that the damage caused by static electricity may be partial and not immediately obvious. This could have an

effect on your product's reliability and warranty. Ensure that you take necessary static precautions, ideally

you should wear an approved wrist strap or if that is not possible, touch a suitable ground to discharge any

static build up. This should be repeated if the handling is for any length of time.

When carrying any boards around, please place them into the anti-static bag in which they came. This will

prevent any static electricity build up. If the board has an on-board battery, do not use black anti-static bags

because these tend to be conductive and will discharge any on-board battery.

ON-BOARD BATTERY

The ULTIMA 2U Passive Industrial PC may contain a Processor board with an on-board lithium cell

connected. To that end the following precautions apply and should be observed. If the battery is mistreated

in any way there is a very real possibility of fire, explosion, and harm. Great care should be taken with this

type of battery. Under NO circumstances should it be:

short-circuited

exposed to temperatures in excess of 100 ºC or burnt

immersed in water

unsoldered

recharged

disassembled

Expired batteries remain hazardous and must be disposed of in a safe manner.

BIOS & CMOS RAM

Please be aware that on Industrial PC products, it is possible to create configurations within the CMOS

RAM that make booting impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS settings, (see the description of

the Jumper Settings on the Processor board being used for details).

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

This product has been assessed operating in representative, standard configurations. As with any PC product,

however, final installation & configuration can vary significantly, and so the following guidelines are offered to

help ensure that compatibility is maintained.

All components added to a system should either carry appropriate equivalent levels of compliance, or be

tested for compliance as part of the final system, and should be installed in accordance with supplier

recommendations.

The external enclosure should be securely fastened (with standard lids and covers in place) to ensure

good metal-to-metal contact around the internal electronics

Any metal back plate must be securely screwed to the chassis of the computer to ensure good metal-to-

metal (i.e. earth) contact.

Metal, screened, connector bodies should be securely connected to the enclosure.

The external cabling to boards causes most EMC problems. It is recommended that any external cabling

to the board be totally screened, and that the screen of the cable connects to the metal end bracket of the

board or the enclosure and hence to earth. Round, screened cables with a braided wire screen are used in

preference to those with a foil screen and drain wire. Wherever possible, use metal connector shells that

connect around the full circumference of the cable screen: they are far superior to those that earth the

screen by a simple “pig-tail”.

The keyboard and mouse will play an important part in the compatibility of the processor card since

they are ports into the board. Similarly, they will affect the compatibility of the complete system. Fully

compatible peripherals must be used otherwise the complete system could be degraded. They may

radiate or behave as if keys/buttons are pressed when subject to interference. Under these circumstances

it may be beneficial to add a ferrite clamp on the leads as close as possible to the connector. A suitable

type is the Chomerics type H8FE-1004-AS.

USB cables should be high quality screened types.

Ensure that the screens of any external cables are bonded to a good RF earth at the remote end of the

cable.

An earth stud is available on the back of the unit to improve grounding in extreme environments

Failure to observe these recommendations may invalidate the EMC compliance.

manual we would recommend that unless you are confident, you contact your supplier for guidance. IT IS

PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE SECTION 'PRECAUTIONS' BEFORE

HANDLING ANY BOARDS.

If you have any suggestions or find any errors concerning this manual and want to inform us of these, please

contact our Technical Services department with the relevant details.

OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION

The ULTIMA 2U PASSIVE is a ruggedised PC compatible microcomputer designed for reliable operation in

adverse environments. It is available as a 19" rack mountable unit, and as a desktop unit. Both units use a

common chassis and layout. System controls and disk drives are protected behind a sealed lockable steel door.

The machine is cooled internally by filtered air, which enters through a removable filter at the front panel and

exits at the rear. Access to boards is by a removable top cover. Connections to the boards are made at the rear of

the chassis and behind the front door.

FEATURES

Robust polished stainless steel chassis using recognised electromagnetic compatible (EMC) emission and

immunity design techniques.

Front panel with lockable door security for system controls.

ATX compliant.

Various switch mode AC power supply units

Optional Dual Redundant AC power supply unit

Optional 24V DC/DC power supply unit

Shock and vibration protected drive cage

supports addition of up to 4 PCI cards or 3 PCI cards and 1 ISA card (Note: only ONE card may be full

length, the others must be short length)

Filtered air through two 80 x 25 mm, 12V DC fans mounted behind the filter panel.

Quick access to the air filter. The filter is a coated polyester material of 30 PPI porosity having flammability

rating to UL94 Class V0.

Optional telescopic slide rail fittings.

Each system is supplied configured to order. The System Release Documentation details each particular

system's configuration
