Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to make sure your computer provides safe and reliable service.
• 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 15 for further information. Never allow air passages
to become obstructed.
• The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating
temperature specified in Tab le 4 on p ag e 4 8
. Consider a user-supplied fan,
heat exchanger, or air conditioner for heat generated by other devices in
the enclosure.
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.
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.
Mounting Clearance Requirements
• The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed limits specified in
Tab le 4 o n pa ge 4 8
•
The enclosure or bottom plate must remain in place at all times during
and must avoid condensation.
operation. The bottom plate provide protection against high voltages inside the
computer and inhibits radio-frequency emissions that can interfere with other

Connect Power
The computer connects to either a 100…240V AC or 9…36V DC power source,
depending on the model.
ATT EN TI ON : When connecting power to the computer for the first time, the
following actions occur:
• The default BIOS 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. Disconnecting power during this procedure 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 protect against unexpected power failure
or power surges.
Always shut down the Windows operating system before disconnecting power to
the computer to minimize performance degradation and operating system failures.
Connect AC 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.
If using an alternate IEC60320 cord, make sure the female end of the cord is
sized appropriately for the retention clip.
Follow these steps to connect the computer to an AC power source.
1. Connect the power cord to the AC power input (A).
2. Secure the power cord in place with the retention clip (B).

3. Connect the AC power cord to a power source.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Connect the AC power cord to a power source with an
earth ground. Failure to follow this warning can result in electrical shock.
4. Apply 100…240V AC power to the computer.
Connect DC Power
Computers with a catalog number ending in DC have a DC input terminal block
for connecting to a 9…36V DC power source.
DC power models support operation from either a SELV or PELV power source.
A pre-installed ground bus strip lets you connect the DC common and
functional ground terminals together. This is to support some cases of SELV
where grounding at the computer is required by the end user.
The power supply is internally protected against reverse polarity.
ATT EN TI ON : Use a Class 2/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.
1. Turn off the main power switch or breaker.
2. Verify that the DC wires meet these requirements:
• Material: Stranded copper
2
• Wire gauge: 0.325…0.823 mm
(22…18 AWG)
3. Secure the DC power wires
to the correct terminalblock screws, and the DC
ground wire to the GND
terminal screw.
Torque the terminal screws
to 0.687 N•m (6.1 lb•in).
4. Apply 9…36V DC power
to the computer.

Functional Ground Screw
Connect to a Network
The pre-installed functional ground screw is not required for safety or regulatory
compliance. However, if a supplemental ground is desired, use the functional
ground screw below the power input.
If using the functional ground screw, connect the computer to earth ground by
using a 1.5 mm
insulation and a yellow stripe for easy identification.
Depending on the model, the
computers have one or two
LAN ports. The computers
connect to an Ethernet
network by using CAT5 or
CAT5e twisted-pair Ethernet
cabling with RJ45 connectors.

To prevent performance degradation of Ethernet communication, do not
subject the computer or cables to extreme radiation or conducted
high-frequency noise.
Proper cable routing and power conditioning is required for reliable Ethernet
communication in industrial environments. We recommend that you route all
Ethernet cabling through dedicated metal conduits. Installing ferrite bead
filters at the cable ends can also improve reliability.

Diagnostic Utility
If you completed the troubleshooting steps and are still having issues, you can use
a diagnostic utility to isolate the issue. This utility determines the cause by testing
computer components.
Computers shipped before January of 2013 include a system diagnostic (green)
CD with this diagnostic utility. If you need a copy of the CD, please contact your
local distributor or Rockwell Automation representative, or use the resources on
the back cover of this publication.
By using the diagnostic utility, you can perform an initial diagnosis without
disconnecting or moving your computer. No software is installed nor does the
utility affect any software already installed. Depending on the tests selected, the
process can take as little as five minutes or as long as eight hours. After the
diagnostic utility is run, you can generate a report for analysis by a technical
support representative, expediting any necessary repair process.
