Overview

The Advantech IPC-623 is a professional-grade industrial rackmount chassis engineered to support demanding automation, server, and industrial computing systems. Its 4U form factor and ability to accommodate a 20-slot backplane or multi-system configurations make it an ideal platform for complex industrial computing tasks, including network servers, embedded systems, process controllers, data acquisition units, and IoT edge computing. 

Designed and manufactured by Advantech, a global leader in industrial computing and automation solutions, the IPC-623 series emphasizes reliability, scalability, and maintainability for long-term industrial deployments. 

Industrial Design & Construction

The Advantech IPC-623 chassis is constructed from heavy-duty materials that provide durability and mechanical stability in harsh industrial environments. Its 4U rackmount structure supports:

• Multiple system boards or a 20-slot PCI/ISA backplane for maximum expansion capacity

• Shock-proof drive bays suitable for front access to 5.25″ and 3.5″ storage units

• Hot-swappable cooling fans to ensure optimal airflow and thermal management

• Front-accessible power supplies (single or redundant) for easy service and reduced downtime

• LED indicators and alarm outputs for system status monitoring

  All of these features make the IPC-623 an ideal enclosure for industrial computing, automation servers, and data processing workstations. 

Key Features & Functionality

The IPC-623 platform supports flexible configuration options to match the needs of various industrial applications:

• 4U 19″ rackmount form factor compatible with standard server racks

• Up to 20 expansion slots for PCI/ISA cards, communication modules, I/O boards, and automation interfaces

• Multi-system support (up to 4 individual systems in parallel) for high-availability or distributed control applications

• Front-accessible shock-proof drive bays (including 3.5″ and 5.25″ storage unit capacity)

• Support for single and redundant power supplies (e.g., 400 W–1200 W options) based on configuration needs

• Comprehensive airflow design with multiple cooling fans for thermal resilience

• LED and alarm indicators for power, fan, and temperature status monitoring

  Together, these features ensure the IPC-623 chassis delivers both performance and reliability for industrial environments where uptime and modularity are paramount.
