This chapter describes installation of the 6180 Computer including how
to:
• install the 6180 Computer in a rack
• install the 6180 Computer in a panel using mounting studs
• install the 6180 Computer in a panel using mounting clips
• change the voltage input setting
The 6180 Computer meets the European Union Directive requirements
when installed within the European Union or EEA regions and has the
CE mark. A copy of the Declaration of Conformity is available at the
Rockwell Automation / Allen–Bradley Internet site: www.ab.com
Mount the 6180 Computer in a panel or enclosure to protect the internal
circuitry. Versions with a gasketed bezel meet NEMA Type 1, 12, 13
and 4/4X (indoor use) and IEC IP54, IP65 only when mounted in a panel
or enclosure having an equivalent rating. The No Display, Metal Bezel
(NDM) version has a NEMA Type 1 and IEC IP2X rating.
Allow enough room within the enclosure for adequate ventilation. Also
consider heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. The ambient
temperature around the 6180 Computer must be maintained between 5°
and 50°C (41° to 122°F). The 6180 Computer is intended for use in
Pollution Degree 2 environments.
Make sure you provide provisions for accessing the back and side panels
of the 6180 Computer to install and remove components.
The 6180 Computer must be mounted in a vertical position as illustrated
in this manual. Installing the 6180 Computer in any other orientation
may result in overheating due to improper airflow.
ATTENTION: The bottom of the chassis has a knockout
panel. This knockout was provided for special
applications with other Allen–Bradley products. Do not
remove this knockout. If the knockout is removed, the
6180 Computer will not meet UL 1950 standards for
flammability containment.
Allow adequate space for mounting, air flow, and maintenance. The
figure below shows recommended minimum clearances to other
components within the rack or enclosure.
ATTENTION: The 6180 Computer should not be
operated within a confined space of the dimensions
shown below unless adequate ventilation or other cooling
methods are used to lower the air temperature within the
enclosure.
Figure 2- 1
ATTENTION: Before installing the 6180 Computer in a
panel, check the clearances of any add–in boards. If your
system has an Ethernet card installed, the card must be
checked for clearance before installation. Failure to
follow this caution may result in damage to the 6180
Computer and/or panel.
The following figure provides the dimensions for making the panel or
enclosure cutout. If you are using mounting clips, the mounting studs
are removed and the 18 stud holes are not necessary.
To install the 6180 Computer in a panel using 18 mounting studs:
ATTENTION: Disconnect all electrical power from the
panel before making cutout.
Make sure the area around the panel cutout is clear.
Take precautions so that metal cuttings do not enter any
components that are already installed in the panel.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in personal
injury or damage to the panel components.
To install the 6180 Computer in a panel using mounting studs:
1. Cut an opening in the panel using the panel cutout dimensions
provided on page 28. Carefully drill eighteen 1/4 inch (6.35 mm)
holes for studs as indicated.
2. The 18 mounting studs are factory installed. In the event studs were
removed for clip mounting, you can re–install studs using a 1/8 inch
socket on the end of the stud. Turn stud clockwise to tighten to
approximately 10 inch pounds (1.1 N•m).

chemical damage to the terminal or other equipment
within the enclosure because of improper installation.
6. Alternately tighten the self–locking nuts (use 3/8 inch socket) until
the 6180 Computer is held firmly against the panel (see
recommended tightening sequence below). The studs have an
integral spacer that prevents the gasket from being over–compressed.
The amount of torque required increases significantly as the gasket
reaches the proper compression. Tighten nuts to a torque of 10 inch–
pounds (1.1 N•m).
To install the 6180 Computer in a panel using mounting clips:
ATTENTION: Disconnect all electrical power from the
panel before making cutout.
Make sure the area around the panel cutout is clear.

Rack Mounting Guidelines
Observe the following precautions before installing the 6180 Computer
in a rack:
Disconnect all electrical power from the rack before
installing the 6180 Computer.
If installing the 6180 Computer in an enclosed rack, make
sure the ambient temperature stays within 5° to 50° C
(41° to 122° F). Be aware of other nearby devices which
may raise the ambient temperature in the rack. Make sure
there is adequate room for air flow through the 6180
Computer chassis vents.
Verify that the addition of the 6180 Computer does not
cause uneven loading (instability) of the rack.
Check that the power supply limits for the rack
components will not be exceeded by the addition of the
6180 Computer.
Make sure the installation of the 6180 Computer
maintains proper earth grounding of the rack components.
The 6180 Computer requires connection to a power
source having an earth ground (three prong outlet).
Failure to follow these warnings may result in personal
injury or damage to the rack components.
To install the Plastic Bezel versions of the 6180 Computer in a rack:

• Always use the proper power down procedures as required by your
operating system such as the Shut Down command in the Microsoft
Windows operating system.
• Do not operate the 6180 Computer without the back panel installed.
An electrical shock hazard exists. In addition, removing the back
panel disrupts air flow and may result in overheating. The back panel
also functions as an EMI shield.
Operator access is limited to the front panel of the 6180 Computer. This
includes the display, front panel, keys, and front panel doors (accessory
drive and mouse/keyboard connectors). Access to components behind
the rack or panel that the 6180 Computer is installed in is restricted to
authorized and properly trained personnel.
ATTENTION: Operator access is limited to the front

Legend kit contents
The Legend Strip Kit (Catalog No. 61 89-KEYKIT1) contains legend
strips for both the standard and full alphanumeric keypad versions of the
6180 Computer. The standard keypad legend strips are longer than the
strips for the full alphanumeric keypad. The kit contains:
• Two preprinted legend strips for standard keypads. These strips are
preprinted on both sides. One side has function key labels. The
reverse side of this strip is preprinted with labels for letters A-Z.
• Three blank legend strips for standard keypads. The strips are blank
on both sides and may be marked for custom legends.
• Three Preprinted/Blank legend strips for full alphanumeric keypads.
These strips are preprinted on one side with function key labels Fl —
F20. The reverse side of the strips are blank for marking custom
legends.
When custom labeling the legend strips, use an indelible type of marker.
All printing must appear within the white text areas. We recommend that
you test print the legends on a separate sheet of paper to verify that the
insert has adequate space for the legends.
To reverse or change a legend strip:
1. Carefully pull the legend strip from the left side behind the bezel.
2. If you are using the blank legend strips, mark the legends on the matt
surfaces provided for marking.
3. Re–insert the tab into the slot. Here are some helpful hints:
• Grip the legend strip near the point where the strip enters the slot
and use short “pushes”. This helps prevent buckling of the
legend strip.
• It may be helpful to “cup” the legend strip slightly as you hold it.
This will stiffen the legend strip and also prevent buckling.

Memory Overview
This chapter describes how to remove and install memory.
Available RAM Memory
The Pentium III processor board has three 168–pin sockets supporting 8
to 512 Megabytes (MB) of synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) in Dual
Inline Memory Module (DIMM) packaging format.
The ITOX P3/Celeron board supports:
• 16-512 MB using unbuffered DIMMs
The ITOX P3/Celeron board:
• Uses x64 or x72 PC-66 SDRAM DIMMs for 66 Mhz FSB CPUs, or
• Uses x64 or x72 PC-100 SDRAM DIMMs for 100 Mhz FSB CPUs
• ECC supported with x72
• All DIMMs must be 3.3V
These sockets support the following DIMMs, arranged in banks 0, 1, and
2:
Pentium III
(Use gold-plated DIMMs)
Memory Module
(DIMM)
64 MegaBytes
SDRAM
128 MegaBytes
SDRAM
The minimum memory size is 64MB (one 64MB DIMM). The
maximum memory size is 512MB (two 128MB and one 256MB
DIMMs) for Pentium II boards.
Both ECC and non-ECC DIMMs are supported. However, for ECC
operation to be available exclusively, ECC DIMMs (x72) must be
installed in the system. Additionally, the user must enable the ECC
Configuration feature in the CMOS setup utility. The options are “NonECC” (BIOS default) and “ECC”.
Setup Utility
Mode Option
Non-parity DIMMs No error detection N/A N/A
Parity DIMMs No error detection
If any non–parity DIMMs are added, system parity is
disabled for all banks (even if one bank contains parity
DIMMs).
You can install from 64 MB to 512 MB of memory in the motherboard
DIMM sockets. The board has DIMM sockets arranged as banks 0, 1,
and 2. The motherboard supports the following memory features:
Internal 6180 Computer components may be damaged by Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD). Make sure you wear a grounding strap whenever
handling circuit boards, memory modules or other internal components.
Also observe the following precautions:
• Always handle the memory cards by the ends not by the memory
module contacts.
• Store memory in an anti–static bag when it is not installed.
• Never install or remove memory with the power turned on.
To add or remove memory:
1. Disconnect power from the 6180 Computer.
ATTENTION: Wear a wrist strap (well grounded) and
perform work in a static safe environment. Electrostatic
discharge can damage the 6180 Computer and
components.
ATTENTION: Disconnect all power from the 6180
Computer before adding and removing components.
Failure to disconnect power could result in severe
electrical shock or damage to the 6180 Computer.
2. Remove the back panel of the 6180 Computer.
See the “Removing the Back Panel and Accessory Drive Cover”
section (on page 4-2 for details on how to remove the back panel.
3. Remove the 5 screws securing the power supply (see illustration,
next page).
Note:
You do not have to disconnect the power supply wiring.
Carefully position the power supply out of the way.
Carefully remove the power supply while noting how the cabling is
dressed in the unit. Also note that air diverting flap(s) are attached
to the power supply. Observe the position of the air diverting flap(s)
for later re–installation. Be careful not to damage them. Because of
the limited length of the main supply cable harness to the
motherboard, the power supply can be moved only to the point that it
just clears the edge of the chassis.
4. Holding the DIMM only by the edges, remove it from its anti–static
package.
Figure 5- 2
5. Make sure the clips at either end of the socket are pushed away from
the socket.
6. Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the two small notches in
the bottom edge of the DIMM with the keys in the socket.
7. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket (see the figure
above).
8. When the DIMM is seated, push down on the top edge of the DIMM
until the retaining clips snap into place. Make sure the clips are
firmly in place.
9. If you installed a DIMM with ECC memory, turn on the computer
and use the ECC Configuration feature in Setup to enable ECC (see
the associated motherboard guide).
10. After the DIMMs are installed, return the power supply to its
mounting position in the chassis. Dress the cables to their original
position and ensure that the air diverting flap (s) are installed near
the processor heat sink, as originally positioned.

Installing and Removing
Processors
This chapter describes how to remove and install processors.
The 6180 Pentium III processor board has a 370 socket that supports a
processor upgrade migration path that includes higher performance
Pentium III processors. The 6180 Computer Pentium processor board
has a type 7 socket which supports the Pentium process.
The types of processors supported are:
• Pentium Classic-166Mhz and 233Mhz
• Slot 1-PII and PIII
• Phase 2 (or 4) PS/Finned H. S.
• Phase 3 P. S.
• Phase 4 P. S. with Puma H. S.
ATTENTION: Disconnect all power from the 6180
Computer before removing components. Failure to
disconnect power could result in severe electrical shock
or damage to the 6180 Computer.
ATTENTION: Wear a wrist strap (well grounded) and
perform work in a static safe environment. Electrostatic
discharge can damage the 6180 Computer and
components.
4. Refer to the following figures (the 6180 Computer has two types of
processors). While holding the heat sink, use pliers to carefully pull
the spring clamp from the tab on the socket.
ATTENTION: The spring clip fits tightly on the socket
base. Use extreme caution when using a needle nose
pliers to remove the spring clip. Make sure pliers do not
slip and damage the processor board.
ATTENTION: The spring clamp secures the heat sink to
the processor. When the clamp is removed, the heat sink
will slide off. Make sure the heat sink does not fall onto
other components.
5. Remove the spring clamp, heat sink, and conductive pad.
ATTENTION: When the socket lever is raised, the
processor is loose in the socket. Make sure the processor
does not drop out of the socket.
ATTENTION: Do not remove any heat conductive
grease from the conductive pad. Be careful not to damage
the conductive pad. Damage to the pad or removal of
conductive grease may result in overheating and failure of
the processor.
6. Press lightly down and out on the lever of the processor socket until
the lever can be pulled up.
7. Note the orientation of the processor and remove the processor from
the socket. Do not touch or bend the pins.
8. Place the processor in conductive foam and store in an anti–static
package.
To install the processor:
ATTENTION: Do not force the processor into the
socket. The processor will only fit in the socket one way.
Refer to the figure on the previous page for proper
orientation. Notice that both the socket and processor
have a flat corner (chamfer) that must be aligned
1. Make sure the socket locking lever is up. Position the processor in
the socket. Make sure the processor is oriented the same way as
when removed. The processor pins will not completely align with
the socket if the processor is not oriented correctly. The processor
fits easily into the socket; do not press on the processor or bend any
pins.
2. Lightly hold the processor in the socket and push down on the socket
lever until it locks in place.
3. Carefully remove the protective plastic liner on the pad.
4. Position the heat conductive pad and heat sink on the processor. The
heat sink and pad should be approximately centered over the
processor. Make sure you do not wrinkle or remove conductive
grease from thermal pad.
Note:
If the pad is damaged, it cannot be used. Either replace the
pad or use a layer of thermal grease as a substitute.
5. Place the spring clip over the heat sink. Position one end of the
spring clip under the socket tab. Use a needle nose pliers to position
the other end of spring clip under the tab on other side. On versions
with an extended heat sink, insert the spring clip into the slot on the
heat sink first and then into the slot on the opposite side (see
illustration previous page). Be careful not to let the pliers slip.
6. Secure the power supply with the same screws removed.
ATTENTION: Risk of Electrical Shock. Do not use
power supply mounting screws exceeding 0.438 inches
(11.125 mm). Screws that are longer than recommended
may come in contact with voltage sources within the
power supply.

front mounting option is not available for the non–display, metal bezel,
12-inch, and 15-inch versions of the 6180 Computer.
ATTENTION: Disconnect all power before adding and
removing components. Failure to disconnect power could
result in severe electrical shock or damage to the 6180
Computer.
2. Remove the back panel. See page 4-2.
Figure 7- 2
ATTENTION: If the 6180 Computer is installed with
mounting clips, the mounting clips on the hinge side will
interfere with the opening of the hinge. Remove the
mounting clips on the hinge side before swinging chassis
away from the bezel. Failure to remove clips may
damage clips and the chassis.
6. Remove the accessory drive / bracket assembly through the back of
the chassis.
7. Remove the screws that secure the accessory drive to the bracket.
This will vary depending upon the type of drive.
Installation
Note:
To install a floppy using the lower bay mounting bracket:
1. Secure the floppy drive to the drive bracket using four screws
supplied with the bracket. Tighten screws to a torque of 6–8 in. lbs
(.7–.9 N•m).
You can also use these procedures to install a front or rear
facing CD-ROM drive (without using the mounting
bracket). The lower bay floppy drive mounting bracket and
CD-ROM drive use the same sets of chassis mounting
holes.
2. Swing open the back of the computer chassis after removing the
three bezel latching screws.
3. Position the accessory drive / bracket assembly into the chassis.
Note:
For rear facing drives, you may have to remove the
panel knockout (shown above) if a rear mounted drive
was not previously installed. Insert screwdriver into
slot on knockouts and pry back and forth on knockout
to remove. Use pliers to remove the center rib between
the two knockouts.
For front facing drives, if a floppy drive was not
previously installed, you may have to replace the
floppy drive cover behind the front access door with a
cover having an opening.
Note:
You may have to remove the side panel knockout
(shown below) if a side mounted drive was not
previously installed. Insert screwdriver into slot on
knockouts and pry back and forth on knockout to
remove. Use pliers to remove the center rib between
the two knockouts.
4. Connect the cable connectors to the floppy drive. Connectors are
keyed so they cannot be installed backwards.
5. Align the floppy drive/bracket (or CD-ROM) and chassis mounting
holes and secure them with the 4 mounting screws provided with the
bracket (or CD-ROM). Tighten screws to a torque of 6–8 in. lbs
(.7–.9 N•m).
Figure 7- 6
6. Swing the chassis back onto the bezel and secure chassis with the
three latching screws. Tighten screws to a torque of 18–22 inch lbs
(2–2.5 N•m).
8. Apply power to the 6180 Computer and v erify operation of the driv e.
You may need to edit BIOS settings to recognize the drive or to
allow the operating system to detect the new hardware.
