Installation Guidelines

General:

This section provides general information needed to install the DP027010. The general guidelines provided include information pertinent to grounding, mounting, and minimum clearances.

This computer system contains static sensitive devices. Proper static device handling procedures must be followed.

There are no user-serviceable parts in this computer system. Opening or disassembly of the computer enclosure by persons not certified by CDI will void the warranty.

Installation Sequence Overview:

- Remove computer from shipping carton, retain carton if desired.

- Remove protective plastic from computer

- Remove and store the Windows installation CD and installation key.

- Perform a visual inspection for damage.

- Install bracket, ensure required clearances are maintained

- Install chassis ground strap

- Install power and Ethernet cables

Adequate airflow around the exterior of the unit is important to the interior temperature of the unit. Fans are used to create airflow through the military computer ensuring that a correct working temperature is maintained. One of the fans is located on top of the CPU chip and is used to cool the processor. Another fan is built into the power supply housing and blows air out of the unit. Another fan is located on the rear chassis cover and blows air out of the cabinet.

Grounding:

This computer system is equipped with a three-wire power cable. When connected to an appropriate AC power receptacle, this cable grounds the computer chassis. (Signal grounds are isolated from chassis ground). The AC line plug shall be inserted only in a receptacle provided with a protective earth contact. A ground stud is provided for optimum grounding, and is required for shipboard installation. Use 12 AWG stranded wire or larger, a grounding strap (or braid) is highly recommended. The computer chassis ground stud is ¼ inch diameter, use an appropr ia te siz e term inal lug and lockwasher.

Bulkhead Mounting:

This computer system is designed for bulkhead mounting by way of a bracket provided for use with this computer. Mounting brackets are available in two styles: Pivot and non-pivot. Although each bracket has the same mounting bolt pattern, the Pivot style bracket requires greater clearance in the front. Refer to Figures 1 through 5 for mounting bolt patterns and sizes for each bracket. During installation the bracket is mounted first, then the computer is mounted to the bracket. The bracket is designed to mount with four 3/8”x16 SAE grade 8 bolts, including washer and lock washer. The bolts are tightened to 35 ft/lbs. The bracket should be mounted flat and level. See Figure 3 for mounting of computer system to the appropriate bracket. Once the bracket is mounted, the computer is mounted to the bracket. Use the four provided allen screws, and combine with a washer and lock washer (not included). Two people are required to mount

Page 9

MPAC-18 Manual

the computer, the computer is held level while the allen screws are installed through the bracket. Tighten the allen screws to 20-25 ft/lbs.

Clearances:

Airflow: Inlets and outlets must have at least 1 inch (25mm) around them and not be obstructed for

adequate airflow to maintain the correct working temperature. In a military environment, the panel into which the unit is mounted should provide protection from dust.

Cabling: All input/output (I/O) connections are via bottom access. At least 8 inches (20cm) of unobstructed space is required at the bottom of the computer for unrestricted cable connection. See figures 9 and 10 for bottom connector panel layout.

Brackets: See figures 3 and 4 for proper clearances for each bracket assembly. An access area of approximately 4 inches (10 cm) to the sides is required in the area of the allen screws that mount the computer to the bracket.

Power-up and Software Installation

This section contains information you need to set up your DP027010 military computer’s operating system and network communications.

Installation

• Before you attempt to power up the system for the first time, inspect the unit for loose or damaged components. Applying power to a system with damaged components may cause additional damage.

• Before you power up your system, you may want to attach a standard PS/2 keyboard and mouse to the external ports on the military computer. Most configuration activities that you perform on the unit can be more easily completed using a keyboard and mouse.

Caution

Do not connect or disconnect external devices, such as a printer, keyboard or a mouse while the unit is powered on. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the equipment.

System Startup

During power up, the processor will run its normal diagnostic checks and indicate the presence of any errors with screen prompts .
