Overview Manuals Specifications Application Communication Safety and Compliance

Features:

  • Blank module specifically designed for unused I/O slots in HIMax base plates, maintaining forced cooling airflow integrity.
  • Snap-in installation like any other HIMax module—no tools required, simple to insert or remove.
  • Constructed from aluminum and stainless steel, matching the ruggedness of the base plate for long-term durability.
The HIMAX X-BLK03 keeps forced cooling effective. Without it, air flows through empty slots instead of active modules, creating hot spots. Install blanks in every unused I/O slot to ensure cooling air goes where it's needed.

No screws, no brackets. The HIMAX X-BLK03 snaps into the base plate just like any other module. Installation takes seconds. Removal is just as easy when you need to add an I/O module later.

Aluminum and stainless steel construction matches the base plate. The HIMAX X-BLK03 won't warp, crack, or degrade over time. It's a one-time investment that protects your entire HIMax system.

The HIMAX X-BLK03 HIMA Blank Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

  • Expansion Space: Slots are reserved for future system upgrades during the initial design phase, while maintaining the stability of the existing system's operating environment.
  • Extreme Environment Protection: Commonly found in dusty or harsh environmental conditions such as oil and gas, chemical industries, and power plants, protecting expensive backplane electronic components from contaminants.
  • Physical Space: Dedicated SB (System Bus) slot ensures mechanical stability within the rack.
  • Circuit and Contact Protection: Covers the system bus connectors on the back panel to prevent short circuits or electrical interference caused by foreign metal objects or dust.
  • Thermal Management: Fills in the gaps to ensure that cooling airflow follows a predetermined path over the operating CPU and communication modules, preventing heat buildup.
  • Maintaining a Safe Environment: Ensure unused slots do not become weaknesses in the safety system. In a SIL-rated (Safety Integrity Level) environment, all slots must be properly sealed or occupied to meet safety standards.
  • ATEX Certification: Meets ATEX Zone 2 explosion protection requirements and can be used in safety cabinets in hazardous areas.
  • Protection Rating: Designed to IP20 standards and must be installed in industrial cabinets meeting a specific Pollution Degree 2.
Description
The HIMAX X-BLK03 is a blank module designed specifically for I/O slots in HIMax system base plates. When a slot is not populated with an I/O module, the HIMAX X-BLK03 covers the opening to maintain proper airflow and protect against dust accumulation. This is essential for systems with forced cooling (X-FAN) where unobstructed air circulation is required.

Installing the HIMAX X-BLK03 in empty slots ensures that the cooling air flows only through active modules, preventing hot spots and thermal stress. The blank module snaps into place like any other I/O module, requiring no special tools. For CPU/COM slots, use X-BLK02; for system bus slots, use X-BLK01.

The HIMAX X-BLK03 is part of a family of blank modules: X-BLK01 for SB slots, X-BLK02 for CPU/COM slots, and X-BLK03 for I/O slots. Each is made from aluminum and stainless steel, matching the rugged construction of the base plate. The blank module occupies the same physical space as an active module.

This blank solves the pain point of unused slots in HIMax systems. Without the HIMAX X-BLK03, open slots disrupt the forced cooling path, potentially leading to overheating of adjacent modules. The blank maintains thermal management and keeps dust out, extending the life of the system.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
When should I use the HIMAX X-BLK03?
Whenever an I/O slot in a HIMax base plate is empty. It maintains proper airflow for forced cooling and prevents dust ingress.
What is the difference between X-BLK01, X-BLK02, and X-BLK03?
X-BLK01 is for system bus (SB) slots, X-BLK02 for CPU/COM slots, and X-BLK03 for I/O slots. Each is designed for the specific slot type.
Does the HIMAX X-BLK03 require tools to install?
No. It snaps into the base plate like any other HIMax module, requiring no special tools or fasteners.
What happens if I leave an I/O slot empty without a blank?
The forced cooling airflow is disrupted, causing potential overheating of adjacent modules. Dust can also enter the base plate, affecting reliability.
