1.1Safety Instructions

Caution

!The safety instructions given on the reverse of the title page of this manual must be observed. Before expanding your Box PC refer to Chapter 4 and read the relevant safety instructions.

This device corresponds to the relevant safety measures according to IEC, EN, VDE, UL, and CSA. If you have questions about the permissibility of the installation in the designated environment, please contact our service representative.

Installation

Condensation can occur if the device is transported from a cold environment into the operating area. The device must be dry prior to startup. You must allow for an acclimatization time of at least twelve hours.

Please observe the notes on ambient conditions in Appendix B Technical Specifications and the installation notes in Section 3.2 of this manual when installing and operating the device. The device is to be installed so that there is no danger of it falling or of causing damage to itself or others.

Be sure the fan ventilation slots are open so that a sufficient amount of air can be drawn in to cool the housing interior.

Warning

!Adhere to the permissible mounting positions when mounting the systems (see chapter 3.2).

If the systems are installed in a non-permissible fitting position, the approvals pursuant to UL 1950, UL 508 and EN60950 are no longer valid!

Important Information

Power Connection

Install the cables so that no one can step on them or trip over them. When you connect the device, adhere to the relevant instructions in Chapter 2 of this manual.

Do not connect or disconnect power supply cables and data transmission lines during thunderstorms.

In emergency situations (for example, damaged housing, damaged operator elements, a damaged power supply cable, ingress of liquids or foreign particles), switch off the device. Disconnect the power plug and inform the responsible service personnel.

When plugging in/unplugging peripheral connections (keyboard, mouse, printer etc.) the Box PC must be switched off (not for PC-Card and USB-devices). In the case of non-observance, this can lead to damage to the PC.

Notes for Devices with AC Power Supply

The device is intended for service in grounded electricity supply systems (TN systems to VDE 0100, part 300, or IEC 364-3).

Service in non-grounded or impedance-grounded supply systems (IT systems) is not intended.

The power cord should meet the respective local safety requirements.

Check whether the device’s set supply voltage is the same as the local supply voltage.

This device is equipped with a safety-tested power supply cable. You may connect this device only to a grounding outlet with a grounding contact.

Make certain that the socket outlet on the device or the grounding contact for the building wiring system is freely accessible and as near to the device as possible.

The mains switch does not separate the device from the power system. To establish a complete power separation, you must disconnect the power plug (inlet connector on the back of the device). This location must be accessible. A central isolating switch must be present for cabinet mounting.

Notes for Devices with DC Power Supply

The device with DC power supply (24V DC) is an open device (right side of the device), therefore the mounting must meet the requirements of fire protection enclosures.

Warnung

!Only connect the device to 24V DC power supply systems which meet the requirements of a safe extra-low voltage (SELV).

The cable cross section has to be large enough that the Box PC will not be damaged by the cables when there is a short circuit.

1.4Transport

Transporting

Despite the fact that the Box PC is of rugged design, its internal components are sensitive to severe vibrations or shock. You must therefore protect the PC from severe mechanical stress when transporting it.

Use the original packing material if you have to ship the Box PC from one location to another.

Caution

Risk of damage!

When transporting the PC in cold weather, when it may be submitted to extreme variations in temperature, make sure that there is no moisture (condensation) on or in the PC.

The PC must be allowed to reach room temperature slowly before you switch it on. If condensation has formed, you should wait approximately 12 hours before switching on the PC.

2.Pull the cover out of the guide. The front ports are now accessible.

The CMOS display port is only accessible after removal of the floppy disk drive.

Notice

Keep the cover and the plastic rivet for reuse.

VGA Port

Please read the following note referring to the operation of a flat display and an external monitor:

Notice

The default setting of the display provides the simultaneous operation of a flat display and an external monitor. If no front display element is connected, the display is effected on the external monitor with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. Modes with a lower resolution and text modes are expanded to this format.

To optimize the screen display for an external monitor, select ”Hardware Options” under Setup in the main menu and set ”CRT/LCD selection: CRT enabled”. A resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels with a higher refresh rate is then possible.
