5 Installation
5.1 Wall-mount and bookshelf installation
Wall mounts are valid for VL IPCs that do not include a display. Use this type of mounting to install the VL IPC on the inside
of a cabinet. The VL IPC can be attached to a flat surface in either a wall mount or bookshelf orientation. Either way, attach
the unit using the four keyholes. The mounting surface must be flat and not subject to vibration.
Figure 1 Wall and bookshelf mounts
To install a wall-mounted VL IPC, follow these steps:
1. Use the VL IPC as a template and mark the locations of
the keyholes on the mounting surface.
2. Use the correct anchor type for the mounting surface
and securely attach the VL IPC to the wall. Anchor
hardware must be smaller than 6 mm. Ensure the
attaching hardware is in the small section of the
keyholes.
3. Tighten mounting screws. Be careful not to overtighten
the attachment hardware.
5.2 Panel mount
Panel mounts are the only valid mounting system for VL
IPCs with a display. This mounting system permits installa-
tion of the VL IPC in a cabinet so the display panel is visible
on the outside (see Figure 2).

5.3 Communication interfaces
Various ports and connections allow the VL IPC to commu-
nicate with other devices. The connections available on the
IPC module are:
–Ethernet: Two RJ45 connectors are located on the rear
of the VL IPC. These allow the computer to
communicate on a 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet
network.
–Serial: Serial devices connect to the DB-9 RS-232 port.
–USB: USB devices connect using Type A connectors.
The VL IPC has four USB ports.
–VGA: This port connects the VL IPC to an external
analog display with a corresponding VGA connector.
–DVI-D: This port connects the VL IPC to an external
digital display with a corresponding DVI-D connector.

5.4 External display
External displays can be connected to the VL IPC to function
as a desktop extension or as an auxiliary display. Use the
VGA port for analog displays and DVI-D port for digital dis-
plays.
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) displays will
download its capabilities to the display driver while non-
EDID displays will not. In either case, additional settings can
be applied through the Intel®Graphics Media Accelerator.
5.5 Installing PCI cards
Installing a PCI card in the optional PCI slots is done as fol-
lows:
1. Ensure the card does not exceed the maximum
dimensions for the intended slot.
2. Remove power from the unit.
Figure 5 Cover removal
3. Place the unit on a soft cloth on a flat, horizontal surface
with the ribbed surface (cover) up.
4. Remove the four Phillips-head screws, 1, from the
cover, 2, and remove the cover.
5. PCI card installation can be in slot 1 (see below), slot 0
(see “For PCI slot 0:” on page 10) or both.

The VL IPC DVI-D port only passes digital
signals. Therefore, connecting an analog display
to the DVI-D port and using a VGA-to-DVI adapter
will not work.
NOTE:
Use standard ESD precautions when removing or
installing PCI cards to avoid damage to the cards
and the VL IPC.
The PCI card option is not available with the Atom
standard chassis.
Do not remove the tamper-proof (Torx®) screws,

6.3 Using CompactFlash cards
VL IPC CompactFlash®slots are not hot-swappable. The
eject button is only to be used once the VL IPC is powered
down for ease of CompactFlash card exchangeability.
To install a CompactFlash card, follow these steps:
1. Turn the VL IPC off.
2. Open the access door at the rear of the VL IPC.
3. Install a CompactFlash card in the proper slot (see “VL
IPC components” on page 12). The card should be
inserted so the lip is toward the connectors. Push the
card straight into the device until seated.
4. To select a bootable CompactFlash, the BIOS must be
properly configured.
To remove a card from slot 0, use small needle-nose pliers
and carefully pull the card straight out. To remove a card
from slot 1, use the ejector mechanism. Push the button
next to the slot, and then pull the card straight out of the slot.
7 Maintenance
The VL IPC has several removable components.
7.1 VL IPC components
There is an access door under the connectors of the VL IPC
system module (see Figure 10). Under the access door are
two type II CompactFlash slots (slot 0 and slot 1), a bay for
an optional optical storage device, a removable hard disk
bay and the RTC battery.
NOTE:
CompactFlash cards are handled like hard-disk
drives in a VL IPC and are, therefore, not hot-
swappable. Ejecting a CompactFlash card before
the VL IPC is powered down could result in data
loss.
Industrial fixed media CompactFlash cards must
be used in the VL IPC CompactFlash slots.
Though the brand does not matter, the type of
card does. Therefore, because the Windows
operating system will not boot from consumer
grade removable media CompactFlash cards in a
VL IPC, they cannot be used.
You may need to remove some cables for easier
access to the CompactFlash slots.
When inserting a CompactFlash card, use slot 0
for bootable CompactFlash cards and slot 1 for
data-only CompactFlash cards.
To access some of these components, it may be
necessary to remove cables connected to the VL
IPC.

7.4 BIOS configuration
Although Phoenix Contact doesn’t recommend changing
BIOS configuration settings without specific instruction from
Phoenix Contact Technical Services, this is something that
may be necessary. To access the BIOS configuration, there
must be an attached (physical) keyboard through one of the
USB ports. During boot-up, the BIOS briefly displays the
comment “Press DEL to enter Setup.” Follow the on-screen
instructions and be sure to save any changes.
7.5 Boot options
There are two boot modes in the VL IPC.
Automatic boot mode
Automatic mode checks for bootable devices in the order
(first, second and third) specified in the BIOS. To view or
change a boot device:
1. Powerup or restart the VL IPC and, when the first black
screen with white text appears, press the <Delete> key
about once every second to initiate the BIOS Setup
Utility.
2. Use the arrow keys to highlight Advanced BIOS
Features then press the <Enter> key.
3. Select a device boot order (first, second or third) then
press the <Enter> key.
a) Select a device:
Additional items will be listed if an expansion chassis is
installed with one or two network cards that support
network booting.
b) Press the <Enter> key to accept the device or press
the <Esc> key to abort the change.
4. Boot Other Device looks for any bootable device in
case the first, second and third boot devices fail or are
not available. To enable this feature:
a) Use the arrow keys to highlight Boot Other Device
and press the <Enter> key.
b) Select Enabled then press the <Enter> key to
accept the change.
5. When more than one hard disk device type or CDROM
device type is connected to the VL IPC, they can be
prioritized in the boot order. To do that:
a) From the Advanced BIOS Features menu, select
either Hard Disk Boot Priority or CD-ROM Boot
Priority using the arrow keys.
b) Follow the Item Help directions on the right side to
move (prioritize) a highlighted device up or down in
the list.
c) Press the <Esc> key to save the change and exit
the submenu.
6. When ready, press the <F10> key to save changes, exit
and continue booting the VL IPC.
If necessary, remove or disconnect any cables
that interfere with accessing the drive.
Hold the access door flat to ensure the tray clears
as it is removed.
The VL IPC can be operated without a drive
(booted from the CompactFlash master). For
extended operating periods, it is recommended
that an empty tray be installed in the drive bay and
locked closed.

Manual boot mode
Manual boot mode overrides automatic boot mode and al-
lows users to boot from external USB devices such as a
memory stick, CompactFlash card, CD-ROM, etc. To boot
from an external device:
1. Connect a bootable USB device before booting.
Otherwise, it will not be listed in the Boot menu.
2. Powerup or restart the VL IPC and, when the first black
screen with white text appears, press the <F12> key
about once every second to initiate the Boot menu.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the desired device
under Hard Disk or CDROM, then press the <Enter>
key to boot from that device.
Power on after power fail options
The VL IPC provides three options for power-up behavior
once power is applied. To change the setting:
1. Select Integrated Peripherals.
2. Select SuperIO Device.
3. Select PWRON After PWR-Fail.
4. Select:
a) OFF - for the VL IPC to remain OFF.
b) ON - for the VL IPC to powerup and reboot when
power is restored (the default mode).
c) Former-Sts - for the VL IPC to maintain its on or off
status before power is restored.
5. Press the <Enter> key to accept the change.
6. Save the change and confirm it.
