2. Description of Related Art
An industrial computer, an industrial personal computer, or an IPC for short refers to a computer used in a task in an industrial field. An industrial computer of such a type includes a firm housing, and the housing, in particular, protects the industrial computer from being affected by an environmental factor (such as dust), electromagnetic interference, and/or moisture. Generally, industrial computers of such a type are applied to process visualization, robot technologies, industrial automation, a test and test bench working mode, or the like. An industrial computer of such a type, with respect to a device in an office area, must be extremely firm and be unlikely to fail. An industrial computer may include a storage medium such as a hard disk, and the storage medium is accommodated in a drawer-shaped support unit and can, together with the support unit, be inserted into a housing of the industrial computer.
