3.2.2 Ethernet RJ45
The C6025 has three Gigabit LAN ports (X102-X104). The 100Base-T and 1000Base-T Ethernet standards
enable the connection of corresponding network components and data rates of 100/1000Mbit/s. The
required speed is selected automatically.
The RJ45 connection technology with twisted-pair cables is used. The maximum length of the cable
connection is 100m.
The controllers are used as follows, based on the device generation:
Table3: Controller classification based on device generation
Device generation Controller
C6025-0000 Intel® i219 (PHY) for LAN1 and Intel® i210 (MAC/
PHY) for LAN2 and LAN3
The Ethernet ports (X103, LAN2; X104, LAN3) connected via PCIe with the i210 controller are suitable for
cycle times <=1ms and for distributed clock applications with EtherCAT.
The Ethernet port (X102, LAN1) integrated in the chipset with the i219 controller is suitable for real-time
Ethernet applications with cycle times >1ms (without distributed clocks).

3.3 Status LEDs
The industrial PC has four status LEDs: UPS-OCT, PWR, HDD, TC. They provide information on the
following aspects:
• the transmission quality of the UPS-OCT signals
• the status of the power controller
• the hard disk activity
• the TwinCAT status
Fig.6: Status LEDs
3.3.1 UPS-OCT LED
The UPS-OCT LED indicates the transmission quality of the UPS-OCT signals. UPS stands for the
uninterruptible power supply. One-cable technology (OCT) enables the communication between PC and
UPS to be transmitted together with the power supply, so that only one cable is required.
The colors and flashing intervals have the following meanings:

Commissioning
C602518 Version: 2.8
4 Commissioning
To be able to use the industrial PC, you must first commission it. The first step is to transport the device to is
operating location and unpack it. This is followed by installing the device in the control cabinet, connecting
the cables and the power supply and finally switching on the industrial PC.
4.1 Transport and unpacking
Note the specified transport and storage conditions (see Chapter 9 Technical data [}42]).
Despite the robust design of the unit, the components are sensitive to strong vibrations and impacts.
Transporting a control cabinet with a built-in PC can result in excessive impact on the industrial PC. During
transport the device must therefore be protected from excessive mechanical stress. Appropriate packaging
of the industrial PC, in particular the original packaging, can improve the vibration resistance during
transport.
NOTICE
Hardware damage due to condensation
Unfavorable weather conditions during transport can cause damage to the device.
• Protect the device against moisture (condensation) during transport in cold weather or in case of
extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Do not put the device into operation until it has slowly adjusted to the room temperature.
• Should condensation occur, wait for about 12 hours before switching the device on.
Unpacking
Proceed as follows to unpack the unit:
1. Remove packaging.
2. Keep the packaging for possible future transport.
3. Check your delivery for completeness by comparing it with your order.
4. Check the contents for visible shipping damage.
5. In case of discrepancies between the package contents and the order, or in case of transport damage,
please inform Beckhoff Service (see Chapter 10.1 Service and Support [}43]).

Commissioning
C6025 19Version: 2.8
4.2 Control cabinet installation
The C6025 Industrial PC is designed for mounting in control cabinets in machine and plant engineering
applications. The environmental conditions specified for operation must be observed (see chapter 9
Technical data [}42]).
Using different mounting plates, you can align the cable entry based on the application requirements.
Figure 8 shows the three available mounting plates: standard mounting plate 1, optional mounting plate 2,
and optional mounting plate 3 with DIN rail adapter. The three mounting plates are mounted on the device as
follows:
• Mounting plate 1: at the rear of the industrial PC with three Torx TX10 screws and a tightening torque
of approx. 0.5Nm
• Mounting plate 2: on the right-hand side wall of the industrial PC with four Torx TX10 screws and a
tightening torque of approx. 0.5Nm
• Mounting plate 3: at the rear of the industrial PC with two Torx TX10 screws and a tightening torque of
approx. 0.5Nm
Mounting plate 2 offers two mounting options (see Chapter 4.2.1 Mounting options [}20]).

NOTICE
Incorrect installation
Mounting the device in a way that deviates from the documentation can impair its functionality.
• Mount the device only in the orientations shown in the documents.
The three different mounting plates enable you to align the industrial PC according to the desired cable
routing in the control cabinet. In the case of mounting plates 1 and 3, you can only install the device in the
control cabinet via the rear side (see Fig. 9).
