Product Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the features available for the device and contains the following sections:
General Description
The Cisco IC3000 is a DIN Rail mounted ruggedized compute gateway targeted primarily for connected roadways use-cases but applicable to other installations. It is designed to meet ever-increasing demand for computing resources for applications on the network edge. It comes preloaded with Cisco IOx and FND software. The term DIN Rail describes a metal rail of a standard type widely used for mounting circuit breakers and industrial control equipment inside equipment racks. The term derives from the original specifications published by Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) in Germany.
The Cisco IC3000 is low-power, fan-less, with Gigabit Ethernet and a dedicated management port. The SKU is IC3000-2C2F-K9.

Memory and Storage
The Cisco IC3000 has the following:
- 8-GB DRAM (soldered down).
- 16-GB onboard flash memory
- 100 GB mSATA solid state drive (SSD)
USB Ports
The Cisco IC3000 has two externally accessible Type-A USB (4-pin) connectors. Each USB port will support output powering of 5 volts and up to a maximum of 500 mA.
Note : If you are connecting to the USB ports:
- A connection (to the USB ports) can only be made in a non-hazardous environment
- The USB port covers must be reinstalled before the IC3000 can be deployed in a hazardous environment
Console Port
The Cisco IC3000 can be configured through a web interface, or through the console port. The console port is either a RJ45 or a Mini USB connector. A standard management cable (Part number 72-3383-01) can be used to convert the RJ45 to DB9 connector.
The default configuration settings for the RJ45 console port are:
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
If the USB Console Port is active (cable inserted and remote PC drivers are enabled) by default the console will switch from RJ45 to USB when the USB cable is detected. If both ports are connected, the Mini USB console port is used.
If your laptop or PC warns you that you do not have the proper drivers to communicate with the device, you can obtain them from your computers manufacturer, or go here:

Hardware Features
This section provides an overview of the following hardware features for the Cisco IC3000.
Platform Features for the Cisco IC3000
The following lists the hardware platform features.
- CPU Intel 4 Core 1.25Ghz
- 8 GB of 1333MHz DDR3 Memory
- Dedicated management Gigabit Ethernet port
- Mini-USB and RJ45 Console port
- Two RJ45 copper ports and 2 fiber ports
- +/- 12 to 48VDC Rated (9.6 to 60VDC Maximum) redundant power connectors with 24-12 AWG screw cage terminals
- Two external USB-A ports for connecting to usb-to-serial devices.
- DIN Rail mount incorporated into the chassis
- Fan-less design
- Redundant power inputs
- Removable SD flash memory card - Industrial temperature SDHC card support (optional, does not come with the device and must be ordered).
Reset Button
The Reset button resets the device configuration to the default configuration set by the factory. To restore the configuration to the default configuration set by the factory, use a standard size #1 paper clip with wire gauge 0.033 inch or smaller and press the reset button for 5 seconds.
Power Supply
The Cisco IC3000 comes with redundant external power connector. the connector supports 12 - 48 VDC. The connectors are Molex 5.00mm Pitch Eurostyle™ Horizontal Plug, with Retention Screws.
The power supply does not support reverse polarity, but does have reverse polarity protection. This means if you reverse + & - connections, the system will not power on but there will be no damage.
The + terminal always has to be greater than the - terminal for the system to operate. The difference is in the system grounding scheme used.
The IC3000 supports 3 basic schemes:
- Isolated DC in, neither + nor - terminal is tied to chassis GND
- Positive DC in, negative (-) terminal is tied to chassis GND
- Negative DC in, positive (+) terminal is tied to chassis GND
Note : To ensure uninterrupted operation the redundant power connections must be connected to independently separated power sources.
SFP Support
The Cisco IC3000 has 2 1GbE ports which support the following SFPs:
- GLC-SX-MM-RGD
- GLC-LX-SM-RGD
- GLC-FE-100LX-RGD
- GLC-FE-100FX-RGD
Removable SD Flash Memory Card (optional)
The Cisco IC3000 has an optional removable SD flash memory slot (referred to as SD). This is primarily to allow easy updates, copying of logs and crash-dumps. Contact your Cisco Marketing Representative for ordering information.
Installing or Removing the SD Card (Optional)
The SD card is hidden under a protective cover:

Door pivot point |
For hazardous locations environments, if you are installing or removing the flash card or alarm wiring, follow these warnings:
Warning : When you connect or disconnect the power and/or alarm connector with power applied, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous area installations. Be sure that all power is removed from the device and any other circuits. Be sure that power cannot be accidentally turned on or verify that the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Statement 1058
Warning : Do not insert or remove the flash card while power is on; an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Statement 379
Caution : Use a ratcheting torque flathead screwdriver to torque the power connector captive screws to 5 in-lb (0.6 N-m), the maximum recommended torque.
To install or replace the SD card, follow these steps:
-
On the front of the device, locate the door that protects the SD card slot. Loosen the captive screw at the top of the door
using a Phillips screwdriver to open the door.
- To install a card, slide it into the slot, and press it in until it clicks in place. The card is keyed so that you cannot insert it the wrong way.
- To remove the card, push it in until it releases for it to pop out. Place it in an antistatic bag to protect it from static discharge.
- After the card is installed, close the guard door and fasten the captive screw using a Phillips screwdriver to keep the door in place.
