Installation Instructions
For proper cooling, the computer requires a minimum free air space of
7.6 cm. (3 in.) behind, 3.1 cm. (2 in.) above and below, and 2.5 cm. (1
in.) on the sides of the chassis. The computer is equipped with fans to
help ensure proper cooling.
Strong magnetic fields near the front of the computer outside the
enclosure could potentially distort the image over time.
Before unboxing the workstation, inspect the shipping carton for
damage. If damage is visible, immediately contact the shipper and
request assistance. Otherwise, proceed with unboxing.
After unpacking, retain the orginal box and packing material in case the
unit must be shipped to another site or returned to Rockwell Automation
for any reason.
The panel on which the Industrial Computer is to be mounted should be
at least 14 gauge steel to insure a NEMA 4 seal and proper support for
the unit. The mounting studs will accommodate this minimum thickness
panel and panels up to 6.35 mm (.25 in.) thick.
To install the Bulletin 6151 Industrial Computer:
1. Confirm that the shipping carton contains a package of 16 10-32 lock
nuts and 16 flat washers. You will need 14 nuts for installation of
Bulletin 6151.
2. Refer to the physical dimension drawing (See Physical Dimensions)
and confirm that there is adequate space behind the panel where the
unit is to be situated. Remember to allow extra space for air
circulation.
3. Refer to the panel cutout drawing for dimensions of the panel cutout
and location of mounting holes. Cut and drill the panel. (See Panel
Cutout)
Tip: It will be easier to install the computer if you support it
with a shelf or other support adjusted to the appropriate
height.
4. Carefully remove the computer from its packaging. Avoid damaging
the panel gasket.
5. Insert the computer in the panel cutout from the front of the panel.

6. Install the washers and nuts provided on the mounting studs behind
the panel.
7. Tighten the nuts evenly to 25 inch-pounds of torque.
ATTENTION: Mounting nuts must be tightened to a
torque of 25 inch-pounds to provide panel seal and avoid
potential damage to the Bulletin 6151 Industrial
Computer. Allen–Bradley assumes no responsibility for
water or chemical damage to the Bulletin 6151 Industrial
Computer or other equipment within the enclosure due to
improper installation.
Important:To assure a proper seal, be sure to install a nut and washer
on each of the mounting studs: 14 for Bulletin 6151.
8. Remove the protective adhesive sheet from the screen of the Industrial
Computer. The sheet is designed to prevent scratching of the
polycarbonate screen protector or the optional touchscreen during
shipping and installation. It should be removed before use.

Note: The references in the following instructions are from
Controls & Indicators on page 2-6.
Controls and other items relating to the computer section of the
Industrial Computer are labeled with black numbers on a white ground.
Controls and other items relating to the monitor section of the Industrial
Computer are labeled with white numbers on a black ground.
To connect AC Power to the Industrial Computer
The computer requires a single-phase power supply providing either:
• 100-120VAC or 200-240VAC at 47-63 Hz
• 18-32VDC
Power must be available at the three–pin AC or two-pin DC input
receptacle situated in the rear of the unit.
1. Turn off the main switch or breaker that supplies power to the
Industrial Computer.
2. Use the GND point on the rear panel of the monitor to establish a
chassis to earth ground connection. Secure one end of a ground strap
to the GND point. Connect the other end of the ground strap to a
good earth ground.
The ground terminal is an M5 screw.
ATTENTION: Chassis ground must be connected for
safe operation of the monitor. The AC receptacle on the
monitor is a 3-wire type with chassis ground pin, and the
mating AC cord supplied is a 3-wire type, designed for
connection to a grounded 3-pin AC outlet. However a
properly grounded AC outlet is not always available, and
grounding using a 3-wire cord can easily be defeated. If
you fail to ground the monitor properly, the setup may
result in personal injury from electrical shock or damage
to equipment.
3. Do one of the following:
•For an AC unit, connect the socket end of the 1.82 m (6 ft.) AC
power cord supplied with the Industrial Computer to the mating
connector on the rear panel of the computer.

Publication 6151-UM001C-EN-P
•For a DC unit, connect +VDC to 24VDC screw terminal , DC
Common to -VDC screw terminal, and earth ground to GND
screw terminal.
4. Connect the 53.3 cm (21”) male to female power extension cable
supplied with the Industrial Computer. This cable runs from the
switched outlet on the rear of the computer to the AC power
connector for the monitor.
5. Connect the plug end of the AC power cord to the mains power
supply.
This is an example of one possible setup for the 6151 Industrial
Computers. The callouts are described in Table A.
