Attention
Important User Information
Labels may be located on or inside the equipment (e.g., drive or motor) to alert
people that surfaces may have dangerous temperatures.
Environment and Enclosure Information
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial
environment in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC
publication 60664-1) at altitudes up to 2000 meters without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according
to IEC/CISPR 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be difficulties
with electromagnetic compatibility in residential and other environments due
to conducted and radiated disturbances.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within
an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmental
conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal
injury resulting from accessibility to live parts.The enclosure must have
suitable flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of flame,
complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) if
non-metallic. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use
of a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional
information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to
comply with certain product safety certifications.
NOTE: See NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as
applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different
types of enclosure. Also, see the appropriate sections in this publication, as
well as the Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1 (“Industrial Automation Wiring
and Grounding Guidelines”), for additional installation requirements pertaining
to this equipment.

Attention
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge Information
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause internal
damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle
this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in
use.

WARNING
WARNING
Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) Capability
When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical
arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be
sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Repeated
electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module and its
mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance that can affect
module operation.
Ethernet Network Communications Connections
If you connect or disconnect the communications cable with power applied to this
module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause
an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or
the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
North American Hazardous Location Approval
The following information applies
when operating this equipment in
hazardous locations:
Products marked “CL I, DIV 2, GP A,
B, C, D” are suitable for use in Class
I, Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D,
hazardous locations and
nonhazardous locations only. Each
product is supplied with markings on
the rating nameplate indicating the
hazardous location temperature code.
When combining products within a
system, the most adverse temperature
code (lowest “T” number) may be
used to help determine the overall
temperature code of the system.
Combinations of equipment in your
system are subject to investigation by
the local authority having jurisdiction
at the time of installation.

Remove or Replace the Module (when applicable)
If you are replacing an existing module with an identical
one, and you want to resume identical system operation,
you must install the new module in the same slot.
This module is designed to be installed or removed while chassis power is
applied. Rockwell Automation recommends that you stop all data collection
services before you remove the module.
When you insert or remove a module while backplane power is on, an
electrical arc may occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury or
property damage by:
• sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field device
causing unintended machine motion or loss of process control.
• causing an explosion in a hazardous environment.
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance that can affect module operation.
Wire the Ethernet Connector
Use an RJ45 connector to connect to the Ethernet. Wire the connector
according to the following illustration:

WARNING
IMPORTANT
Connect the Module to the Ethernet Network
If you connect or disconnect the Ethernet cable with power applied to this
module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This
could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that
power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
Attach the RJ45 connector the Ethernet port on the front of the module as
shown.
We recommend connecting the module to the network
via a 100 MB Ethernet switch, which will reduce
collisions and lost packets and increase network
bandwidth. For detailed EtherNet connection
information, see the ControlLogic Ethernet/IP Bridge

How to Upgrade and Reinstall the Firmware
To upgrade the FactoryTalk Historian ME firmware (or reinstall it in case it
becomes corrupted), you must use the ControlFLASH Firmware upgrade kit.
Before you upgrade, please back up your log files by going to the Web
Diagnostics interface > Firmware > Upload Logs. Please see the FactoryTalk
Historian ME User's Guide for more information. For instructions on how to
perform the upgrade, please refer to the ControlFLASH Firmware Upgrade
Kit Quick Start Guide, publication number 1756-QS105C-EN-E. Before you
perform the upgrade, collect the following information, as you will need it
during the upgrade:
– The catalog number of the FactoryTalk Historian ME Module. This is
either 1756-HIST1G or 1756-HIST2G, depending on the size of the
compact flash drive.
– The network configuration information.
– The network path to the FactoryTalk Historian ME Module.

Any kind of firmware upgrade or reinstall will clear out
all logs. A firmware upgrade will preseve archived data
and application configuration information, but a reinstall
will clear out all application configuration information
and archived data. If you want to save your settings,
therefore, download and back up your configuration and
logs. For more information, refer to the FactoryTalk
