Environment and Enclosure Information
Review the information on enclosures and environments before installing the
product.
ATTENTION
Environment and Enclosure
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 m (6561 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according
to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be
potential difficulties ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other
environments due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open type equipment. UL recognized equipment
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 interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool. UL
listed equipment need not be mounted inside another enclosure. Subsequent
sections of this publication may contain additional information regarding
specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain product
safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, for additional
installation requirements, Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1.
• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable,
for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of
enclosure.

Operating Systems
The computers are shipped with one of these operating systems:
• Windows 2000 Professional, Service Pack 4 with Update Rollup 1
• Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2b
No operating system updates have been applied to the factory image beyond the
service packs.
For your convenience, the I386 source directory for Microsoft Windows is on the
system drive of your computer off the root directory, C:\I386. This allows for easy
removal and addition of Windows components.
Computers with rotating-media hard drives include a recovery partition on the
system drive containing the original factory image. You can use the supplied System
Accessories/Cloning CD to restore the operating system from the recovery partition,
create a new recovery image, and create bootable external recovery media.
Refer to the Cloning Utility documentation, publication 6000-TD001, for
instructions. You can view or download publications at
http:\\literature.rockwellautomation.com.
Computers with solid state drives have been customized to accommodate the
unique properties of the solid state drive. Some of the pre-installed customizations
include:
• No paging file
• System restore set to zero and disabled
• DLLCACHE directory emptied
Computers with solid state hard drives do not contain a recovery partition. If
additional drive space is required, copy the I386 directory to external media; then
delete the I386 directory from C:\I386, which is approximately 400 MB.
To obtain the original factory image on bootable external recovery media, which
also includes the I386 source directory, contact your local technical support center.
Multilingual User Interface CD Pack
The Microsoft Multilingual User Interface (MUI) CD Pack contains a collection of
different language sets that can be installed into the operating system. MUI packs
are available for all Windows XP operating systems and provide a localized start

Connect Power
The power connection for the computers varies by model.
• The VersaView 200R computer connects to either a 120/240V ac or
9…36V dc power source, depending on the model.
• The VersaView 700R and 1400R computers connect to a 120/240V ac power
source.
Connect ac Power
Computers with an ac power input use a standard IEC 320 power cord. The power
supply input accepts 120/240V ac and is autoranging.
Power Switch

VersaView 200R Computer
Operate the computer in an industrial or control room environment, which uses
some form of power isolation from the public low-voltage mains.
ATTENTION
Connect the ac power cord to a power source with an earth ground to prevent
electrical shock. Failure to follow this warning could result in electrical shock.
The computer circuit should have its own disconnect. Use an uninterruptible
power source (UPS) to protect against unexpected power failure or power
surges.
Always shut down the operating system before removing power to minimize
performance degradation and operating system failures.
Publication 6155R-IN001I-EN-P - July 2007
18 VersaView Industrial Non-display Computers
Connect dc Power
The power supply on the VersaView 200R computer has a dc input terminal block
for connecting to a 9…36V dc power source.
ATTENTION
Connect the dc ground connection to a power source with an earth ground to
prevent electrical shock. Failure to follow this warning could result in electrical
shock.
The computer circuit should have its own disconnect. Use an uninterruptible
power source (UPS) to protect against unexpected power failure or power
surges.
Always shut down the operating system before removing power to minimize
performance degradation and operating system failures.
Follow these steps to connect the VersaView 200R computer to a 9…36V dc power
source.
1. Turn off the main power switch or breaker.
2. Route the power wires from your dc power supply and connect the leads to
the dc input terminal block.

VersaView Industrial Non-display Computers 19
Connect to the Network
The computer connects to the Ethernet network by using CAT5 or CAT5E
twisted-pair Ethernet cabling with RJ45 connectors.
IMPORTANT
To prevent performance degradation of Ethernet communication, do not subject
the computer or cables to extreme radiated or conducted high-frequency noise.
Proper cable routing and power conditioning is required for reliable Ethernet
communication in industrial environments. Rockwell Automation recommends
that you route all Ethernet cabling through dedicated metal conduits. Installing
ferrite bead filters at the cable ends may also improve reliability.
Replace the Battery
The computers use nonvolatile memory that requires a battery to retain system
information when power is removed. The lithium battery is in a battery holder on
the computer’s CPU board.
• For the VersaView 700R and 1400R computer, replace this battery as needed
with a Panasonic battery, part number CR2032, or equivalent.
• For the VersaView 200R computer, replace the battery as needed with a
specially-packaged replacement part from Allen-Bradley.
WARNING
To avoid the danger of explosion, replace the battery with only the
recommended equivalent or Allen-Bradley replacement part. Dispose of used
batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Ship or Transport the Product
If you need to ship the product via common carrier or otherwise transport it to
another location, you must first uninstall the product and place it in its original
packing material.
ATTENTION
Do not ship or transport the product when it is installed in a machine, panel, or
rack. Doing so may cause damage to the product. You must uninstall the
product and place it in its original packing material before shipping. Rockwell
Automation is not responsible for damage incurred to a product that is shipped
or transported while installed in a machine, panel, or rack.
