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://www.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
Automation, Inc., is prohibited.

Throughout this manual, when necessary, we use notes to make you aware of safety considerations.

SHOCK HAZARD

BURN HAZARD

Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can cause an explosion in
a hazardous environment, which may lead to personal injury or death, property
damage, or economic loss.

Identifies information that is critical for successful application and understanding of
the product.

Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can lead to personal injury
or death, property damage, or economic loss. Attentions help you to identify a hazard,
avoid a hazard, and recognize the consequences.

Labels may be located on or inside the equipment, for example, a drive or motor, to
alert people that dangerous voltage may be present.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

ATTENTION

• Transport the computer and replacement parts in static-safe containers such as

conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.

• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free

stations.

• Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material. Use a wrist strap

connected to the work surface and properly grounded (earthed) tools and equipment.

• Keep work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly

aids and foam packing.

• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

• Always hold components with a printed circuit board (PCB) by its edges and lay it

with the assembly-side down.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static-sensitive devices or
microcircuitry. Observe proper packaging and grounding techniques to
prevent damage. Follow the precautions listed below.

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 and/or
damage the computer.

Before You Begin

Review the specifications of a new component before installing it to make sure it is
compatible with the computer. Record the model and serial number, and any other pertinent
information of new components for future reference.

ATTENTION

To avoid voiding your product warranty, use only Rockwell Automation
Allen-Bradley-approved replacement parts and accessories

Required Tools

These tools are required for installing a memory module.

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• Antistatic wrist strap

• Scissors (for cutting cable ties)

.

Pre-installation Procedure

IMPORTANT

ATTENTION

Perform this pre-installation procedure before removing the side cover and/or accessing a
hardware component.

1. Turn off the computer and all the peripherals connected to it.

2. Disconnect power from the computer to avoid exposure to high energy levels.

If necessary, label each one to expedite reassembly.

3. Disconnect telecommunication cables to avoid exposure to shock hazards from
ringing voltages.

Publication 6177R-IN003B-EN-P - November 2009

When installing hardware requiring access to internal components, we
recommended that you first back up all computer data to avoid loss.

Make sure to read and understand the entire installation/removal
procedure first, before you begin configuring the computer hardware.
