Important User Information

Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment.
Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication

SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at
http://literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes some important differences between solid state

equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the
wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must
satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.

In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages
resulting from the use or application of this equipment.

The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the many
variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot
assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams.

No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation, Inc. with respect to use of information, circuits,
equipment, or software described in this manual.

Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission of Rockwell

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 meters 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 Listed equipment need not be
mounted inside another enclosure if NEMA Type,
UL, or IEC ratings are not required, but the mounting method must limit the tilt of the
product to +/- 30 degrees from vertical. Examples include articulated arm, table-top
stand, wall mount or other means having sufficient mechanical stability and which is
secured to the mounting surface. Units that are not rack-mount ship with a gasketed
bezel to meet specified NEMA Type, UL, and IEC ratings only when mounted in an
enclosure with equivalent ratings. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain
additional information regarding specific enclosure type ratings required to comply with
certain product safety certifications.

In addition to this publication, see:

• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Allen-Bradley

publication 1770-4.1, for additional installation requirements.

• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable,

for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types
of enclosure.

European Union Directive Compliance

This product meets the European Union Directive requirements when installed
within the European Union or EEA regions and has the CE mark. A copy of the
Declaration of Conformity is available at the Rockwell Automation / Allen-Bradley
website: www.ab.com/certification

ATTENTION

ATTENTION

This 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 and EN 61000-6-2, the Ethernet port LAN cable must be
less than 30 m (98.42 ft) and used only indoors, not exit the building at any point. All
other I/O cables must be less than 3 m (9.842 ft) and used only indoors.

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:\1386. 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
menu and system icons support.

The instructions for installing MUI languages on your computer are supplied with
the MUI CD Pack.
