Precautions
Read and follow these precautions for use.
Environment and Enclosure Information
European Union Directive Compliance
This product meets the European Union Directive requirements when installed within the European
Union or EEA regions and have the CE mark. A copy of the declaration of the conformity is
available at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/rockwellautomation/certification/overview.page.
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 open type equipment. UL recognized equipment must be mounted
within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmental conditions that are
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. UL listed
equipment need not be mounted inside another enclosure. Subsequent sections of this publication
may contain additional information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to
comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
•Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, 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
ATTENTION: This equipment is intended to operate in an industrial or control room environment,
which uses 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 W 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), used only indoors, and not exit the building at any point. All other I/O cables must be
less than 3 m (9.84 ft) and used only indoors.

A bracket with mounting screws is provided for each mounting option.
Mount the Computer on a Wall
You can mount the computer on a wall by using a mounting bracket. See page 11 for the
wall-mount bracket dimensions.
1. Drill and tap four M4 holes in the wall, a minimum of 5 mm, that correspond to the
holes in the mounting bracket.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the bottom or back of the computer (1).
3. Secure the mounting bracket with the provided M4 x 8 mm panhead screws (2).
Torque the screws to 0.686 N•m (6.072 lb•in).
4. Position the computer against the wall, aligning the holes in the mounting bracket with
the holes in the wall (3).
TIP
Support the computer with a shelf or other means to make installation at the appropriate
height easier.

Apply Power
The computer connects to either a 100…240V AC or 9…36V DC power source, depending on
the model.
We recommend that the computer circuit have its own disconnect. Use an uninterruptible power
source (UPS) to protect against unexpected power failure or power surges.
Always shut down the operating system before removing power to minimize performance
degradation and operating system failures.
Remove the AC retention clip, if necessary, before installing the computer in a panel cutout.
Reattach the clip after installing the computer.
Connect AC Power
A grounded 3-prong IEC320 power cord provides power to a computer with an AC power
input. The power supply input accepts 100…240V AC and is autoranging.
1. Connect the power cord to the AC power input (1).
2. Secure it in place with the retention clip (2).
Operate the computer in an industrial or control room environment, which uses some form of
power isolation from the public low-voltage mains.
SHOCK HAZARD: Connect the AC power cord or the DC ground connection to a power source with
an earth ground to prevent electrical shock. Failure to follow this warning could result in electrical
shock.
TIP
If using an alternate IEC320 cord, make sure the female end of the cord is sized appropriately
for the retention clip.

14 Compact Industrial Non-display Computers
Rockwell Automation Publication 6155R-IN002E-EN-P - July 2013
Connect DC Power
Computers with a catalog number ending in DC have a DC input terminal block for connecting
to a 9…36V DC power source.
The DC power option supports operation from either a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) or
Protective Extra Low Voltage (PELV) power source. A pre-installed ground bus strip connects
the DC common and functional ground terminals together. This is to support SELV cases where
the end user requires grounding at the computer.
Follow these steps to connect the computer to a DC power source.
1. Turn off the main power switch or breaker.
2. Secure the DC power wires to the terminal block screws.
3. Secure the DC ground wire to the GND terminal screw.
4. Apply 9…36V DC power to the computer.
ATTENTION: Use a Class 2 Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) isolated and ungrounded power
supply as input power to the computer. This power source provides protection so that under
normal and single fault conditions, the voltage between the conductors and functional
earth/protective earth does not exceed a safe value.

Functional Ground Screw
You are not required to use the functional ground screw for safety and regulatory compliance.
However, if you want a supplemental ground, use the functional ground screw below the power
input.
Connect to a Network
The computers have one or two
Gigabit LAN ports, depending
on the model. The computer
connects to the Ethernet
network by using twisted-pair
Ethernet cabling with RJ45
connectors.
IMPORTANT
To prevent performance degradation of Ethernet communication, do not subject the computer
or cables to extreme radiation or conducted high-frequency noise.
Proper cable routing and power conditioning is required for reliable Ethernet communication
in industrial environments. We recommend that you route all Ethernet cabling through
dedicated metal conduits. Installing ferrite bead filters at the cable ends can also improve
reliability.

Rockwell Automation Publication 6155R-IN002E-EN-P - July 2013
Real-time Clock (RTC) Battery
This computer contains a lithium battery that must be replaced during the life of the computer.
The computers use nonvolatile memory that require a battery to retain system information when
power is removed. The RTC battery is on the computer’s CPU board.
The battery life depends on the amount of time the computer is powered on.
If your computer does not display the correct time and date, replace the battery.
ATTENTION: A risk of fire and chemical burn exists if the battery is not handled properly:
•Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, or short external contacts
•Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than 60 °C (140 °F).
•Do not dispose of a used battery in water or fire.
For safety information on handling lithium batteries, see Guidelines for Handling Lithium
Batteries, publication AG-5.4.
WARNING: To prevent voiding your product warranty, use only Allen-Bradley approved
replacement parts and accessories.
IMPORTANT
Replacing the battery results in all BIOS settings returning to their default settings.
BIOS settings other than default must be reconfigured after replacing the battery.
This product contains a hermetically-sealed lithium battery that may need to be replaced
during the life of the product.
At the end of its life, the battery contained in this product should be collected separately from
any unsorted municipal waste.
