3.1 Mounting
Depending upon the configuration ordered, there are several ways to mount the BL2 ...100.
Use the appropriate section below to mount the BL2 ...100.
When installing the BL2 ...100 in a cabinet, follow these general rules:
– Verify clearances within the cabinet. Typically, leave at least 5 cm (2 in.) on each side
with 13 cm (5 in.) on the connector side.
– Drill all holes and make all cuts before beginning installation. Be sure to protect already
installed components from shavings during this procedure.
– Supporting panels must be at least 14 gauge to provide proper support.
– Make sure that there is adequate space around the heat sink to provide sufficient
cooling.
3.1.1 Wall mount (BL2 BPC ...100)
Figure 3-1 Mounting dimensions (BL2 BPC 1100, BL2 BPC 2100)
NOTE:
Install the BL2 ...100 with adequate clearance around the heat sink to provide sufficient air
flow such that ambient temperatures do not exceed the operating limits. Install cooling
fan(s) in the enclosure, if necessary.
Connectors and switches must be accessible. A wall panel thickness of 1.9 mm (14 ga.)
is required for correct mounting of a BL2 PPC ...100 to maintain IP66 protection.
NOTE:
Exceeding the system temperature limits can result in performance degradation of any or
all components. It is therefore important that the ambient temperature of the installation
environment is kept within the system temperature limits of your BL2 ...100.

– The BL2 PPC ...100 supports up to two external displays.
3.2.1 Power connection
A three-position, screw-type COMBICON connector (MSTB 2,5/ 3-STF-5,08) is provided
for connecting power to the BL2 ...100.
Figure 3-8 Power connector
Connect a power source to the included power connector (1). This connector supports wire
sizes from 0.2 to 2.5 mm² (24 to 12 AWG). Torque the wire-retaining screws in the
connector to 0.5 Nm (4.4 lbf-in.). Secure the connector to the BL2 ...100 chassis.

3.2.2 Serial communication
One D-SUB 9 connector (see Figure 3-6 or Figure 3-7) can be configured to communicate
on the RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 physical layer. The physical layer is set using the UEFI
(see “UEFI” on page 17). The remaining connectors are limited to RS-232 only.
The BL2 ...100 is capable of the following communication parameters:
The function of the pins in the D-SUB 9 connector varies with the different configuration
settings.
NOTE:
To comply with UL 61010-2-201, a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) according to DIN EN
61131 as supply voltage is required.
This device is protection class I item of equipment.
UEFI is set to boot on power, allowing the system to boot as soon as the power plug is
installed. This can be changed in the UEFI Setup Utility.

3.3 Antenna
An optional factory-installed mini PCIe card is available to allow the BL2 ...100 to be placed
on a wireless network. Included with the installed card is an antenna (1) that attaches to a
connector on the top of the unit (2).
Figure 3-9 Antenna installation (BL2 BPC 3100 shown)
Since the BL2 ...100 is often installed within an enclosure, it may be advisable to install the
antenna on the exterior of the enclosure rather than directly to the IPC. To do this, an
appropriate length antenna cable (3) must be purchased separately.
The antenna (or antenna cable) threads onto the BL2 ...100. For external antenna
mounting, route and secure the antenna cable appropriately within the enclosure.
The BL2 … 1100 and BL2 … 2100 have one antenna connector on the top and one on the
bottom (see “Connectors and ports (BL2 … 1100, BL2 … 2100)” on page 11). The top
connector is unaccessible if the DIN rail mounting method is used and the bottom
connector must be used.

5 Maintenance
5.1 UEFI
The unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) configures the software to match the
hardware contained within the industrial PC.
To access the UEFI setup utility, there must be an actual (physical) keyboard attached to
one of the USB ports.
During the boot process, press the <F2> key to enter the UEFI setup utility. Use the arrow
keys to navigate and highlight desired selections. Follow on-screen instructions and be sure
to save any changes.
One-time change to the boot sequence
A quick-boot menu allows changes to the boot sequence one time. This can be used to load
a new operating system from a USB drive.
1. Press the <F7> key during the boot process to access the quick-boot menu.
2. Highlight the device from which to boot.
3. Press the <Enter> key to initiate the boot process.
5.2 Mass storage replacement
Before beginning any mass storage replacement procedures, use an external drive and
make a copy of or backup the contents of the internal drive to be replaced. Disconnect the
external drive before removing power to the BL2 ...100.
NOTE: Electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge can damage or destroy components. When handling, observe the
necessary safety precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD) according to
EN 61340-5-1 and IEC 61340-5-1.
NOTE:
Changing UEFI parameters can lead to system instability and data loss. Therefore, it is
recommended that only advanced users modify the UEFI settings.
A device must be connected before applying power to be displayed as a selectable
device.
WARNING:
Always remove power to the IPC and any connected devices before performing internal
maintenance.
NOTE:
The device contains components that can be damaged or destroyed by electrostatic
discharge. When handling the device, observe the necessary safety precautions against
electrostatic discharge (ESD) according to EN 61340-5-1 and IEC 61340-5-1.
