needed).
 Connect the USB keyboard and mouse to USB 2 connectors.
 Plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet connector.
 In IPC2 models with WiFi: Mount the WiFi Antennas on the SMA connector by turning it clockwise
repeatedly until the antenna holds firm.
 Insert the DC plug into the IPC2 DC-in jack. Rotate clockwise 900 to secure.

 Plug the speakers into the line-out jack.

 Connect the power supply to the AC cord and plug the cord into AC outlet. The front panel logo
should light up as the IPC2 boots.

Booting Linux

Maintenance
IPC2 requires no maintenance. You should not take the IPC2 apart other than opening the service door.
Taking IPC2 apart will void its warranty.
The following operations can be conducted by the user:

Opening service door

1. Unscrew marked Philips screw at the bottom to release service-door.

2. Slide out service-door until it stops – about 10 mm.
3. Service-door is now detached. Lift edge of service-door to completely remove.

Re-assemble in reverse order. Hard disk connects by sliding-in the service-door.

Service bay

The service-bay provides easy access to hard-disk, RAM, and mini-PCIe sockets incl. WLAN module.

Hard disk is 2.5” 7mm/9.5mm SATA. It is screwed to service door by 4 screws, 2 on each side. It is
recommended to use 5400 RPM hard disk or SSD. 7200 RPM or higher is not recommended due to higher
power consumption and risk of overheating.
RAM – use DDR3L-1333/1600 SO-DIMM modules.
Mini-PCIe – the half-size mini-PCIe is normally used for WLAN. If you remove the WLAN module make sure
to isolate the ends of antenna cables with some tape to avoid short-circuit. The full-size mini PCIe is
available for any use.
