Computer Overview

Operating Systems

This chapter provides information on the following topics:

• Computer Overview

• Operating Systems

• Computer Options

• Before You Begin

• Parts List

• Hardware Features

Non-display industrial computers run operations from small visual interface and
maintenance applications to large control and information applications.
Combine an industrial display with the 750R (catalog number 6177R-MM) or
1450R (catalog number 6177R-RM) computer to complete your system.

These computers are available with performance, advanced, and server features.
They come standard with a selection of I/O ports for peripheral connections and
expansion slots.

The following Microsoft-licensed operating systems are available:

• Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro (64-bit)

• Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1 (64-bit)

• Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3

• Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (64-bit)

• Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Service Pack 1(64-bit)

No operating system updates have been applied to the factory image beyond the
service packs.

Computers with HDDs include a recovery partition with the original factory
image. You can use AMI Rescue that is embedded in the BIOS/UEFI set-up
utility to restore the operating system from the recovery partition, and create a
recovery image. See AMI Rescue

Computers with the Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro operating system do
not contain a backup of the factory image in the recovery partition.

Installation Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to make sure that your computer provides service with
excellent reliability:

• 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. A properly
grounded 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 22 for further information. Never allow air passages

to become obstructed.

• The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating
temperature that is specified in
supplied
in the enclosure.

fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner for heat from other devices

Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often
higher than the temperature in other parts of the enclosure, especially
when air does not circulate.

The computer can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life
span of the computer is shortened if you continuously operate it at its
highest rated temperature.

• The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed limits that are specified
in Ta bl e 8 on pag e 93

•

The enclosure or cover must always remain in place during operation. The
cover provides protection against high voltages inside the computer and
inhibits radio-frequency emissions that can interfere with other equipment.

Connect Power

A grounded, 3-prong IEC60320-C13 power cord provides power to the
computer. The power supply input accepts 100…240V AC and is autoranging.

ATT EN TI ON : When you connect power to the computer for the first time, the
following actions occur:

• The default UEFI setting automatically starts the computer after it is plugged
into a power source.

• You must read and accept an End User Setup procedure for computers with a
Windows operating system (requires an external display).

Do not disconnect power from the system until after the Windows Setup
procedure is completed. If power is disconnected during this procedure, it can
result in a corrupted system image.

Operate the computer in an industrial or control room environment, which uses
some form of power isolation from the public low-voltage mains.

ATT EN TI ON : Supply the computer circuit with its own disconnect. Use an
uninterruptible power source (UPS) to help protect against unexpected power
failure or power surges.

Always shut down the Windows operating system before you disconnect power to
the computer to minimize performance degradation and operating system failures.

The set-up utility is a hardware configuration program that is built into the
UEFI. The UEFI is already configured and optimized so there is no need to run
this utility. However, you can run the set-up utility to do the following:

• Change the system configuration.

• Change the UEFI setup when the system detects a configuration error.

• Redefine communication ports to prevent any conflicts.

• Read the current amount of system memory.
