System Features 11

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
.

Multilingual User Interface CD Pack

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.
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 menu and system icons support.
The instructions for installing MUI languages on your computer are supplied with the MUI CD Pack.

ATTENTION
ATTENTION
17 Publication 6180W-UM001H-EN-P - August 2007
The product is intended to operate in an industrial or control room environment, which utilizes 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 watts of ac power directly from the public mains.
To comply with EN 55024, the Ethernet port LAN cable must be less than 30 m (98.42 ft) long, and it must be used only indoors (that is, not exit the building at any point). All other I/O cables must be less than 3 m (9.84 ft) long, and must be used only indoors.
18 Installation

Environment and Enclosure Information

Review the information on enclosures and environments before installing your computer.
ATTENTION
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 (6562 feet) 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.
Operating the capacitive touchscreen version in a high noise environment may cause the touchscreen to respond slowly to touch inputs, or may cause the position of the screen cursor to drift.
This equipment is supplied as ‘open type’ equipment. UL recognized equipment must be mounted in an enclosure that is suitably designed and rated for those specific environmental conditions that will be present, and designed to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. UL listed equipment need not be mounted inside another enclosure if NEMA Type and IEC ratings are not required, but the mounting method must limit the tilt of the product to +/- 30° from vertical. Examples include articulated arm, table-top stand, wall mount, or other means having sufficient mechanical stability. The mounting means must be firmly attached to the supporting surface using screws bolts, or clamps so the computer cannot tip. All units meet specified NEMA and IEC ratings only when mounted in a panel or enclosure with an equivalent rating. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.
Publication 6180W-UM001H-EN-P - August 2007
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.
Installation 19

Installation Considerations

Follow these guidelines to make sure your product provides safe and reliable service:
The installation site must have sufficient power.
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 to supply a fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner to meet this condition.
TIP
IMPORTANT
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.

Tools Required

Mount the Workstation in a Panel

The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed specified
limits. In very dry environments, static charges build up readily. 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.
These tools are required for product installation.
Panel cutout tools
#2 Phillips screwdriver
You can install the 1200W and 1500W models of the workstation in a panel by using mounting clips. The non-display version can be installed in a panel by using the four screw holes on the front plate.
Publication 6180W-UM001H-EN-P - August 2007

Mounting Clearances
Allow adequate space around the computer for mounting, air flow, connections, and maintenance. Do not operate the computer in an enclosure using the minimum clearances unless adequate ventilation or other cooling methods are used to maintain the temperature at its specified rating.
Top: 50 mm (2 in.) For Air Flow
Back: 1500W and Non-display: 25 mm (1 in.) For Air Flow 1200W: 140 mm (5.5 in.) For Drive Access
Bottom: 102 mm (4 in.) For Air Flow And Connections
Left: 50 mm (2 in.) For Air Flow
Right: 1500W and Non-display: 140 mm (5.5 in.) For Drive Access 1200W: 75 mm (3 in.) For Video Loopback Cable

Installation 21
Panel Mounting Guidelines
Observe these guidelines when installing the unit in a panel:
Confirm that there is adequate space within the panel enclosure.
Cut supporting panels to specifications before installation. Take
precautions so metal cuttings do not enter components already installed in panel.
Supporting panels must be at least 14 gauge to be sure of proper
sealing against water and dust and to provide proper support. The mounting hardware supplied accommodates panels up to
6.25 mm (0.25 in.) thick.
ATTENTION
Failure to follow these guidelines may result in personal injury or damage to the panel components.
