Computer Overview

The 6181P integrated display and non-display industrial computers provide
you with a simplified, all-in-one touch screen and a CPU with the technology
to support everything from traditional Microsoft and Linux operating systems
to virtualized images. This platform was designed to complement the Intel
fourth generation Core-i processors and bring technology such as USB 3.0,
DisplayPort, and Intel Rapid Start capabilities to these computers.

6181P integrated display industrial computers answer the needs of the
industries we serve by offering a variety of display sizes, models, and mounting
methods. Display and non-display models are available, with display sizes
offered in both standard (4:3 and 5:4) format and widescreen (16:9) format.
6181P integrated display computers with stainless steel bezels address NEMA
4X requirements and are a choice selection for food and beverage applications.
Various mounting methods are possible with these computers in landscape and
portrait orientations, as well as a space-saving ‘bookshelf ’ mounting option on
non-display versions.

The 6181P integrated display computers with an aluminum bezel provide
several easy-to-use features for quicker decisions and action:

• Front status indicators - Provide a quick at-a-glance status about the
personal computer hardware.

• Front lockable USB 3.0 port - Provides easy but controlled access to
files, images, and system data.

• Front User Interface Button (UIB) - Provides one-touch UEFI (BIOS)
access upon startup and is user-configurable for application flexibility.

System Features

The following system features are found on this line of integrated display
computers.

Multi-touch Touch Screens

The 6181P integrated display industrial computers offer models with
glass-front, multi-touch PCAP touch screens. The multi-touch technology
provides up to two simultaneous touches and common gesturing (such as
flicking, rotating and pinch-to-zoom) when you operate the touch screen.
These touch screens can also be operated with gloves.

PCAP touch screens are calibrated at the factory so you do not have to
calibrate. The touch screen glass has an anti-reflective coating, which results in
a visually appealing and durable touch screen ideal for industrial applications.

Status Indicators and UIB

Integrated display computers with aluminum bezels have three status
indicators and a UIB on the front panel. The status indicators provide a quick,
at-a-glance view of the computer’s status for system temperature, drive activity,
and power. Complete descriptions of the indicators are shown in the table
below.

The UIB provides you with an easy, one-click access to either the BIOS/UEFI
upon startup or applications in the operating system (OS). The functionality
can be configured to be any keystroke (up to three keystrokes) in the OS or can
be disabled all-together. Configuration of this button is done in the
BIOS/UEFI. See User Interface Button (UIB) on page 80
information to configure the UIB.

Hardware Monitor and Watchdog Timer Utilities

The 6181P computer system images are provided with an integrated Hardware
Monitor utility and a Watchdog Timer service. The utilities are available in the
images but you must install and enable them.

Hardware Monitor

The Hardware Monitor is an integrated utility that runs on the OS. It
monitors the computer temperature and views the system fan speed (if a fan is
present). This utility is similar to what you see when you run a third-party
program, such as SpeedFan.

Hardware Monitor has a default temperature threshold that can be adjusted by
the user. Once the temperature threshold is selected and the service is running,
the utility displays a popup message on the display, which indicates that the
computer has reached the selected temperature threshold. There is no action
taken as a result of the popup and there are no event logs created.

Watchdog Timer

Watchdog timer is a utility that runs on the OS and ‘watches’ the system. If
there is a program error or hardware malfunction that causes the OS to ‘hang,’
the watchdog timer times out and causes the system to automatically restart.
An event log is created after the system restarts because the computer
experienced an incorrect shutdown sequence.

This utility is beneficial for situations where constant user interface is not
possible, and it is desired to keep the computer up and running for visual and
display purposes.

See Wat ch do g T im er
watchdog timer.

Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) 9.0

Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT) 9.0 is supported on 6181P
computers with the Intel Core i7 Quad-core processor. AMT provides remote
access and manages products through either the BIOS/UEFI or OS. By
default, the 6181P computers are shipped with the AMT disabled. You must
enable it to take advantage of the remote management capabilities. For
additional information on Intel AMT, visit http://www.intel.com

Installation Precautions

Read and follow these precautions before installing 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 as well as radiated disturbance.

This equipment is UL Listed and supplied as an open type equipment. To meet
some regulatory requirements, the computer must be mounted in an enclosure
that is suitably designed for environmental conditions that can be present and
appropriately designed to help prevent personal injury resulting from
accessibility to live parts. The enclosure must be accessible only by using a tool.

All 6181P integrated display computers are shipped with a gasketed bezel to
meet specified NEMA, UL Type, and IEC IP ratings only when mounted in a panel
or enclosure with an equivalent rating.

In addition to this publication, see the following:

• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication

1770-4.1

• NEMA 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of
protection provided by enclosures

, for more installation requirements

European Union Directive

This computer meets the European Union Directive requirements when
installed within the European Union or EEA regions and have the CE
marking. A copy of the declaration of the conformity is available at

http://www.rockwellautomation.com/certification

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 connecting 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 used only
indoors. All other I/O cables must be less than 3 m (9.84 ft) and used only

Installation Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to make sure 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. Proper grounding
of the 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 26 for further information. Never allow air

passages to become obstructed.

• The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating
temperature as follows:

– Non-display, 12 in. (4:3), 15 in. (4:3), and 17 in. (5:4) computer

models: -20…+60 °C (-4…+140 °F)

– 15.6 in. (16:9), 18.5 in. (16:9), and 19 in. (5:4 and 16:9) computer

models: 0…50 °C (32…122 °F)

• Consider a user-supplied fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner for heat
generated by other devices in the enclosure.

TIP Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often

higher than the temperature in other parts of the enclosure,
especially if air is not circulating.

IMPORTANT The computer can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life

span of any electronic device is shortened if you continuously
operate the computer at its highest rated temperature, which
includes the touch screen and LCD panel.

• The relative humidity of the ambient air must not exceed 10…90%
noncondensing at 50%.

• 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.

Mounting Clearance Requirements

IMPORTANT Computers generate heat. Therefore, do not operate the computer in an

enclosure with the minimum clearances unless adequate ventilation or
other cooling methods are used to lower the temperature within the
enclosure.

Allow enough clearance to easily install or remove components, such as
storage drives.

Connect DC Power

Computers with catalog numbers that end in DC have a DC input terminal
block for you to connect to a 18…32V DC power source.

The functional ground screw must be grounded on DC power models for
EMC regulatory compliance. DC power models support operation from either
a SELV or PELV power source. The DC common (DC-) can be connected
together to the functional ground screw to support some SELV cases where
grounding at the computer is required by the end user.

The power supply is internally protected against reverse polarity.

ATTENTION:

Use a SELV isolated and ungrounded power supply as input
power to the computer. This power source provides protection so that under
normal and single fault conditions, the voltage between the conductors and
Functional Earth/Protective Earth does not exceed a safe value.

Follow these steps to connect the computer to a DC power source.

IMPORTANT A functional ground screw connection is required for EMC compliance.

1. Turn off the main power switch or breaker.

2. Verify that the DC power wires meet these requirements:

•Material: Stranded copper

• Wire gauge: 0.326…3.31 mm

Replace the RTC Battery

The computers use nonvolatile memory that requires a real time clock (RTC)
lithium battery to retain system information when power is removed. The
RTC battery is next to the SO-DIMM1 slot.

This battery must be replaced during the life of the computer. The battery life
depends on the amount of time the computer is on, or on-time.

If the computer does not retain the correct time and date, replace the battery.

ATTENTION: A risk of fire and chemical burn exists if the battery is not
handled properly:

• Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, or short external contacts.

• Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than the rated
temperature ranges on page 25

.

• Do not dispose of a used battery in water or fire.

For safety information on how to handle lithium batteries, see Guidelines for
Handling Lithium Batteries, publication AG-5.4
