Computer Overview
Operating System
This chapter provides an overview of the computer:
• Operating systems
• Multilingual User-interface CD Pack
• Product options
• Parts list
• Hardware features
The integrated display computers combine a TFT flat-panel display with
industrial computing power for performing visual interface, maintenance, and
basic information applications. These panel mount devices offer 12-inch displays
with a resistive touch-screen and a CompactFlash solid-state drive.
By combining industrially hardened monitors and computers in a single machine,
these panel mounted computers provide an entire solution in one chassis and
catalog number. Because there are no external monitor cables or separate
component mounting requirements, system integration is simplified.
The computers are shipped with the Windows XP Professional SP3 operating
system for Embedded Systems installed and configured.
No operating system updates have been applied to the factory image beyond the
service packs.
You can use the supplied Industrial Computer System Cloning CD to create and
restore from a recovery image. Refer to the Cloning Utility Technical Data,
publication 6000-TD002
These computers contain solid state drives and have been customized to
accommodate the unique properties of the solid state drive, namely:
• No paging file
• System restore is disabled by default
• MUI languages are not pre-installed
These computers with solid state 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.

Chapter 1 System Features
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
Before You Begin
Product Options
The Microsoft Multilingual User-interface (MUI) CD Pack contains a collection
of different language sets that can be installed into the operating system. The
primary language is English.
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.
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.

Environment and Enclosure Information
Review the 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 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 an open-type equipment. It 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. Subsequent
sections of this publication may contain additional information regarding
specific enclosure type ratings that are required to be complied with certain
product safety certifications.
All 6181X-12 display units are shipped with a gasketed bezel to meet
specified NEMA, UL Type, and IEC ratings only when mounted in a panel or
enclosure with an equivalent rating. Other sections of this publication
contain additional information regarding specific enclosure-type ratings
required to comply with certain product safety certifications.
See NEMA Standard publication 250, UL 50, and IEC publication 60529, as
applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by
different types of enclosure. Also, see the appropriate sections in this
publication, as well as the Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1
Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, for additional installation
requirements pertaining to this equipment.

Environnements Dangereux
Cet équipement peut être utilisé dans les environnements suivants :
• Classe I, Division 2, Groupes A, B, C et D
• non dangereux
La mise en garde suivante s’applique à une utilisation en environnement
dangereux.
ATTENTION: Danger d'explosion
• La substitution de composants peut rendre cet équipement impropre à
une utilisation en environnement dangereux.
• Ne pas déconnecter l’équipement sans s’être assuré que l’alimentation
est coupée et que l’environnement est classé non dangereux.
• Ne pas connecter ou déconnecter des composants sans s’être assuré que
l’alimentation est coupée.
• L’ensemble du câblage doit être conforme à la réglementation en vigueur
dans le pays où cet équipement est installé.
• L’équipement périphérique doit être adapté à l’environnement dans
lequel il est utilisé.
• Tout équipement utilisé en environnement dangereux doit être monté
dans une armoire fournissant une protection adaptée aux conditions
d'utilisation ambiantes et suffisante pour éviter toute blessure corporelle
pouvant résulter d'un contact direct avec des composants sous tension.
Les ordinateurs ont un code de température T4 (135°C) lorsqu’ils fonctionnent
dans les températures ambiantes maximales suivantes. Voir également le
graphique Directives d’installationen page 19
de ce document.
• 6181X-12……55°C en face avant de l’écran et 70°C en face arrière, en cas
de montage comme prévu au travers de la paroi d’un coffret.
• 6181X-N……70°C au maximum, en cas de montage comme prévu à
l’intérieur d’un coffret.
N’installez pas l’ordinateur dans des environnements atmosphériques explosifs
(par ex. du gaz) dont la température d’inflammabilité est inférieure à 135°C.

Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to make sure your product provides safe and reliable
service:
• The installation site must have sufficient power.
• The enclosure must allow 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. In very
dry environments, static charges build up readily. Proper grounding of the
equipment 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.
• The product cannot be tilted from vertical. Mount as shown below.

IMPORTANT
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 proper ventilation, cable
connection, and hardware access. Sufficient airflow 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
CompactFlash card.
Use adequate ventilation or other cooling methods to maintain the
product temperature at its specified rating.
Because of self-heating, do not operate the computer in an enclosure by
using the minimum clearances unless adequate ventilation or other
cooling methods are used to lower the temperature within the enclosure.
The minimum required enclosure size (HxWxD) is 403 x 497 x 154 mm
(15.87 x 19.57 x 6.06 in.).
Item Description Value
1 Top 50 mm (2 in.)
2 Back 50 mm (2 in.)
3 Left (for airflow) 50 mm (2 in.)
4 Right (for airflow and drive access) 127 mm (5 in.)
5 Bottom (for I/O port access and ventilation) 102 mm (4 in.)
