5 Installation
Depending on the configuration ordered, there are several
ways to mount the VL PPC 3000. Use the appropriate
section below to mount the VL PPC 3000.
When installing the VL PPC 3000 in a cabinet, follow these
general rules:
– Verify clearances within the cabinet. Typically, leave at
least 5 cm (2 in.) on each side with 12.7 cm (5 in.) on the
connector side if the VL PPC 3000 has the optional
optical storage drive.
– Drill all holes and make all cuts before beginning
installation. Be sure to protect already installed
components from shavings.
– Supporting panels must be at least 14 gauge to provide
proper support.
– Make sure that there is adequate space around the heat
sink (on the back of the VL PPC 3000) and air inlets and
outlets to provide sufficient cooling.
5.1 Panel mount
Panel mounts are the only valid mounting system for VL
IPCs with a display. This mounting system permits
installation of the VL PPC 3000 in a cabinet so the display
panel is visible on the outside (see Figure 1).

NOTE:
Install the VL PPC 3000 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.
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 VL PPC 3000.
Please be aware that adding PCI cards can add
heat to the system.
NOTE:
Connectors and switches must be accessible
from the rear. A wall panel thickness of at least
1.9 mm (14 ga.) is required for correct mounting
with IP65 protection.

Figure 1 Panel installation
1. Cut a hole in the enclosure according to the dimensions
for the selected display.
Figure 2 Panel cut-out dimensions for displays
2. From the front, push the VL PPC 3000 through the
opening. Ensure that the gasket is properly positioned
in the groove.
3. From the rear, place the display clamps (1) in the slots
(2) on the display and slide the clamp to the right (see
Figure 3). Clamps must be used in every slot.
Figure 3 Panel mounting clamps
4. Tighten the screws with a screwdriver on all clamps,
alternating from one side to the other until the front
bezel is secure against the panel. Torque the bolts to
1.2 Nm.

6Interfaces
After mounting the VL PPC 3000, make any necessary
cable connections (see Figure 4).
The available connectors are:
– Ethernet (ETH): Two RJ45 connectors allow the
computer to communicate on a 10/100/1000Base-T
Ethernet network.
– Serial (COM): One serial port (D-SUB 9) allows
connection of serial devices. The port can be
configured to communicate on the RS-232, RS-422, or
RS-485 physical layer (see “Serial communication” on
page 10).
– PCI: Up to two optional slots are available for PCI cards
(see “Installing PCI cards” on page 12).
– USB (USB): USB devices connect using Type A
connectors. The VL PPC 3000 has four USB ports:
three ports operate on version 1.1/2.0 and one port on
version 3.0.
– DVI-D (DVI-D): This port connects the VL PPC 3000 to
an external display.
– DP++ (DP++): This port connects the VL PPC 3000 to
an external display. Adapters are available to convert to
other video signal types (see “Accessories” on page 2).

6.1 Power connection
A three-position, screw-type Combicon connector (MSTB
2,5/ 3-STF) is provided for connecting power to the VL PPC
3000.
Figure 5 Power connector
Connect a power source to the included power connector.
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 VL PPC 3000 chassis.
6.2 Serial communication
Settings in the BIOS configure the serial port (X10:COM)to
function on the RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 physical layer
(see “Configurable serial port” on page 16).
