European Union Directive Compliance

This product meets the European Union Directive requirements when installed within the European
Union or EEA regions and have the CE mark. A copy of the declaration of the conformity is
available at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/rockwellautomation/certification/overview.page

.

ATTENTION: This product 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 may not 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 and EN 61000-6-2, the Ethernet port LAN cable must be less than 30 m
(98.42 ft), used only indoors, and not exit the building at any point. All other I/O cables must be
less than 3 m (9.84 ft) and used only indoors.

Environment and Enclosure Information

Review information on enclosures and environments before installing the product.

ATTENTION: 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
(6562 ft) without derating.

This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR 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 are
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 does not need to be mounted inside another enclosure.

In addition to this publication, see the following:

• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1, for additional

installation requirements

• NEMA Standards 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of

protection provided by different types of enclosure

Voltage Precaution

The computers contain line voltages. Disconnect all power to the computer before you install or
remove system components.

SHOCK HAZARD: Disconnect power from the computer before removing components. Failure to
disconnect power could result in severe electrical shock or damage the computer.

Operating Systems

The computers are shipped with one of these Microsoft-licensed embedded operating systems:

• Windows Server 2003 R2, Service Pack 2

• Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3

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 hard-disk drives include a recovery partition on the system drive
containing the original factory image. You can use the supplied Computer System Cloning CD
to restore the operating system from the recovery partition and create a new recovery image.
Refer to the Cloning Utility Technical Data, publication 6000-TD002

To obtain the original factory image on bootable external-recovery media, which also includes
the I386 source directory, contact your local technical support center.

, for instructions.

Before You Begin

Before unpacking the product, inspect the shipping carton for damage. If damage is visible,
immediately contact the shipper and request assistance. Otherwise, proceed with unpacking.

Keep the original packing material in case you need to return the product for repair or transport
it to another location. Use both the inner and outer packing cartons to provide adequate
protection for a unit returned for service.

TIP

IMPORTANT

Installation Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to make sure your product provides safe and reliable service:

• The installation site must have sufficient power.

ATTENTION: To maintain an electrically safe installation, the AC powered products must be
plugged into a grounded outlet.

• The enclosure must have sufficient space around air inlets and outlets to provide the

circulation necessary for cooling. Never allow air passages to become obstructed.

• The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating temperature.

Consider heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. You may need a user-supplied
fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner to meet this condition.

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 product can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life span of any electronic device
is shortened if you continuously operate the product at its highest, rated temperature.

• The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed specified limits and must avoid

condensation.

• In dry environments, static charges build up easily. Proper grounding of the equipment

through the AC power cord helps to reduce static discharges, which may cause shocks
and damage electronic components.

• The enclosure or cover must remain in place at all times during operation. The cover

provides protection against high voltages inside the product and inhibits
radio-frequency emissions that might interfere with other equipment.

Mounting Clearances

When selecting an installation site for the computers, be sure to allow adequate clearance on the
sides and rear of the computer for adequate ventilation and cable connections. Sufficient air flow
throughout the system unit is required to maintain proper cooling. Clearance should be enough
to allow convenient installation or removal of peripheral components, such as the optical disk
drive.
