Computer Overview

This chapter provides information on the following topics:

• Computer Overview

• Operating Systems

• Computer Options

• Before You Begin

• Parts List

• Hardware Features

The integrated display computers with keypad feature an integrated 12- or 15­inch display panel. These panel mount devices feature 36 or 44 programmable
function keys, a full alphanumeric keypad, and a resistive, anti-glare touch screen
option. With these features, the computers can function as an industrial
computer or an operator input station. It can be used to run visual interface,
maintenance, control, and basic information applications from one machine. The
absence of external display cables and separate component mounting
requirements allows for simple integration.

These computers are available with standard and performance features. They
come standard with a selection of I/O ports for peripheral connections; ISA and
PCI slots for expansion options; and LAN ports for communication.

Operating Systems

The computers are shipped with Microsoft-licensed Windows XP Professional,
Service Pack 3 operating system installed and configured. No operating system
updates have been applied to the factory image beyond the service packs.

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 HDDs include a recovery partition with the original factory
image. Refer to the Cloning Utility for Rockwell Automation Industrial
Computers Technical Data, publication 6000-TD002

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 20 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.

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

Tab le 4 o n pa ge 4 8

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

•

and must avoid condensation.

cover provides protection against high voltages inside the computer and
inhibits radio-frequency emissions that can interfere with other equipment.

•

When mounted, the computer cannot be tilted more than 30° from vertical.
