Installation Precautions
Read and follow these precautions before you install the computer.
Environment and Enclosure Information
ATT EN TI ON : This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in
IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6561 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to
IEC/CISPR 22. Without appropriate precautions, there can be potential
difficulties with electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to
conducted and radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open type equipment. The interior of the
enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool. UL Listed equipment need
not be mounted inside another enclosure. Subsequent sections of this
publication can contain extra information about specific enclosure type ratings
that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-
4.1, for additional installation requirements
• NEMA 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of
protection that are provided by different types of enclosure
European Union Directive
This computer meets the European Union Directive requirements when
installed within the European Union or EEA regions and have the CE mark. A
copy of the
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/certification
declaration of the conformity is available at
.
ATT EN TI ON : This computer is intended to operate in an industrial or control
room environment, which uses some form of power isolation from the public
low–voltage mains. Some computer configurations cannot comply with the
EN 61000-3-2 Harmonic Emissions standard as specified by the EMC
Directive of the European Union. Obtain permission from the local power
authority before you connect any computer configuration that draws more
than 75 W of AC power directly from the public mains.
To comply with EN 55024, the Ethernet port LAN cable must be only used
indoors. All other I/O cables must be less than 3 m (9.84 ft) and only used
indoors.

Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to make sure that your computer provides service with
excellent reliability:
• The installation site must have sufficient power.
ATTENTION: To maintain an electrically safe installation, AC
powered computers must be plugged into a grounded outlet.
• In dry environments, static charges can build up easily. A properly
grounded computer helps to reduce static discharges, which can cause
shock and damage electronic components.
• The enclosure must allow sufficient space around air inlets and outlets to
provide the circulation necessary for cooling. See Mounting Clearance
Requirements on page 22 for further information. Never allow air
passages to become obstructed.
•The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating
temperature of 0…50° C (32…113° F). Consider a user-supplied fan,
heat exchanger, or air conditioner for heat from other devices in the
enclosure.
TIPHot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often
higher than the temperature in other parts of the enclosure,
especially when air does not circulate.
IMPORTANTThe computer can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life
span of the computer is shortened if you continuously operate it at
its highest rated temperature, which includes the touch screen and
LCD panel.
• The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed 10…90% and must
avoid condensation.
• The enclosure or cover must always remain in place during operation.
The cover provides protection against high voltages inside the computer
and inhibits radio-frequency emissions that can interfere with other
equipment.

Connect Power
A grounded, 3-prong IEC60320-C13 power cord provides power to the
computer. The power supply input accepts 100…240V AC and is autoranging.
ATT EN TI ON : When you connect power to the computer for the first time, the
following actions occur:
• The default UEFI setting automatically starts the computer after it is plugged
into a power source.
• You must read and accept an End User Setup procedure for computers with a
Windows operating system (requires an external display).
Do not disconnect power from the system until after the Windows Setup
procedure is completed. If power is disconnected during this procedure, it
can result in a corrupted system image.
Operate the computer in an industrial or control room environment, which
uses some form of power isolation from the public low-voltage mains.
ATT EN TI ON : Supply the computer circuit with its own disconnect. Use an
uninterruptible power source (UPS) to help protect against unexpected
power failure or power surges.
Always shut down the Windows operating system before you disconnect power
to the computer to minimize performance degradation and operating system
failures.
Functional Ground Screw
Follow these steps to connect the computer to an AC power source.
1. Connect the power cord to the AC power input. See Hardware Features
starting on page 13
for where the power inputs are on each computer

Input/Output System (BIOS) to describe the system firmware except where
BIOS is used, such as on a graphical interface. The set-up utility is a hardware
configuration program that is built into the UEFI. The UEFI is already
configured and optimized so there is no need to run this utility. However, you
can run the set-up utility to do the following:
• Change the system configuration.
• Change the UEFI setup when the system detects a configuration error.
• Redefine communication ports to prevent any conflicts.
• Read the current amount of system memory.
• Change the boot drive.
• Set or change the password or make other changes to the security
settings.
• Upgrade the system firmware.
• Run the diagnostic utility to determine the cause of system malfunction.
• Restore or back up the operating system.
