2.3 Fundamental safety instructions
The following safety instructions must be observed when handling the industrial PC.
Application conditions
• Do not use the industrial PC under extreme environmental conditions.
• Never use the Industrial PC in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Do not carry out any work on the industrial PC when it is live. Always switch off the supply voltage for
the device before mounting it, replacing device components or rectifying malfunctions. This does not
apply to the replacement of hard disks in a RAID configuration.
• Never plug or unplug connectors during thunderstorms. There is a risk of electric shock.
• Ensure that the device has a protective and functional earth connection.
Damage to property, loss of data and impairment of functions
• If you change the hardware and software configurations, you must keep within the specified limits of

2.5 Notes on information security
The products of Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG (Beckhoff), insofar as they can be accessed online,
are equipped with security functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and
networks. Despite the security functions, the creation, implementation and constant updating of a holistic
security concept for the operation are necessary to protect the respective plant, system, machine and
networks against cyber threats. The products sold by Beckhoff are only part of the overall security concept.
The customer is responsible for preventing unauthorized access by third parties to its equipment, systems,
machines and networks. The latter should be connected to the corporate network or the Internet only if
appropriate protective measures have been set up.
In addition, the recommendations from Beckhoff regarding appropriate protective measures should be
observed. Further information regarding information security and industrial security can be found in our
https://www.beckhoff.com/secguide.
Beckhoff products and solutions undergo continuous further development. This also applies to security
functions. In light of this continuous further development, Beckhoff expressly recommends that the products
are kept up to date at all times and that updates are installed for the products once they have been made
available. Using outdated or unsupported product versions can increase the risk of cyber threats.
