Advantech IPC-623 Industrial 4U Rackmount Chassis
Overview
The Advantech IPC-623 rackmount chassis is a 4U unit for industrial computers, accepting up to 20 slots or a 4-system backplane, with a 500 W or 1200 W single power supply. Designed for control room, server and process automation racks, the IPC-623 combines the drive capacity, cooling and maintenance access required for continuous industrial duty.
Engineering and Design
The chassis supports a 20-slot passive-backplane configuration or a 4-system backplane for multiple independent computers in one enclosure, and it accepts standard ATX and industrial motherboards with rear I/O. Two external 5.25-inch and one 3.5-inch shockproof drive bay protect the storage media against vibration, while three 12 cm cooling fans move up to 150 CFM of air through the chassis. The dual top cover removes for maintenance without disturbing the panels below.
System build starts with the backplane: a 20-slot passive backplane hosts the CPU card and up to 19 expansion cards, or the 4-system backplane creates up to four independent computers in one chassis for redundant server pairs. The two external 5.25-inch bays take optical drives or removable disk caddies, and the internal 3.5-inch shockproof bay protects the boot drive against vibration. The 150 CFM fan set is filtered and the dual top cover slides off for card changes without disturbing the rack wiring.
Key Features
- 4U rackmount chassis for up to 20 slots or 4-system backplane
- 500 W or 1200 W single power supply options
- Two external 5.25-inch and one 3.5-inch shockproof drive bays
- Three 12 cm cooling fans, 150 CFM airflow
- Dual top cover for easy maintenance access
- Standard 19-inch rack format for control room integration
Applications
The Advantech IPC-623 chassis is used in SCADA server rooms, DCS control rooms, telemetry stations, data acquisition racks and industrial network cabinets where multiple cards or multiple systems run in one rack unit. Plants in Oman and the GCC deploy the Advantech IPC-623 rackmount chassis for redundant control servers, with the 1200 W supply option covering high-density CPU and communication card loads.
In a control room deployment the chassis is mounted on standard 19-inch rails, with the 500 W supply covering typical server loads and the 1200 W option reserved for high-density systems with multiple CPUs and storage. The single-PSU design keeps the cabinet footprint small, and plants running redundant control pairs install two IPC-623 units with independent supplies. Spare planning includes the fan set and dust filters, which are the first items that need attention in Gulf desert environments.
Backplane selection determines the CPU card family of the build, and the Advantech compatibility list matches the CPU cards with the chosen backplane. The drive bay layout and the fan set are common across the configuration options, keeping the service spares identical.

Advantech supports the Advantech IPC-623 rackmount chassis with the backplane and power supply options listed for the system build, and the chassis is configured with the CPU card, memory and storage of the specific project. The media kit and fan filters are the routine consumables of the platform.
The chassis accepts the standard Advantech CPU card families for the backplane choice, and the external drive bays allow removable media and optical drives for the operating system installation. This configuration flexibility is the reason the IPC-623 remains a common rack chassis in process automation.
Why Seven Star LLC
Seven Star LLC supplies Advantech industrial computers, chassis and panel components for control and automation projects in the Gulf region. We confirm the backplane configuration, power supply rating and drive layout of each IPC-623 chassis against your system build, and our team supports the rack integration of your control equipment.
Technical Specifications
The Advantech IPC-623 is a 4U industrial rackmount chassis supporting PICMG 1.3 backplanes, available in configurations ranging up to a 20-slot single-system layout or split into multiple independent systems within the same enclosure. It ships with a single ATX switching power supply available in 500W or 1200W Gold-efficiency ratings, and cooling is handled by three 12cm/150 CFM fans working through six replaceable air filters (four at 200 × 45mm and two at 128 × 95mm), keeping dust out of the airflow path in industrial environments without requiring the chassis to be opened for routine filter maintenance.
Overall dimensions are approximately 482 × 177 × 657mm (19″ × 7″ × 26″), matching standard 19-inch rack mounting, with a chassis weight of about 27.4kg before boards or drives are installed. Rated operating temperature is 0–40°C, storage -20 to 60°C, humidity 10–85%, with a vibration rating of 1 Grms and shock rating of 10G. The chassis includes Advantech’s built-in Intelligent System Module for monitoring fan speed, internal temperature, and supply voltages, with remote management capability.
Applications
The IPC-623’s high slot count and PICMG 1.3 backplane support make it a common choice for industrial servers, redundant or multi-system computing platforms, and data acquisition/control systems that need to house many PCIe expansion cards in a single rack-mounted enclosure — applications where a standard commercial server chassis would not offer the same combination of slot density, filtered cooling, and rated environmental tolerance for a plant or control-room environment.
