•Computer Overview
•Operating Systems
•Computer Options
•Before You Begin
•Parts List
•Hardware Features
Computer Overview The integrated display computers with keypad feature an integrated 12- or 15-
inch display panel. These panel mount devices feature 36 or 44 programmable
function keys, a full alphanumeric keypad, and a resistive, anti-glare touch screen
option. With these features, the computers can function as an industrial
computer or an operator input station. It can be used to run visual interface,
maintenance, control, and basic information applications from one machine. The
absence of external display cables and separate component mounting
requirements allows for simple integration.
These computers are available with standard and performance features. They
come standard with a selection of I/O ports for peripheral connections; ISA and
PCI slots for expansion options; and LAN ports for communication.
Operating Systems The computers are shipped with Microsoft-licensed Windows XP Professional,
Service Pack 3 operating system installed and configured. No operating system
updates have been applied to the factory image beyond the service packs.
The I386 source directory for Microsoft Windows is on the system drive of your
computer off the root directory, C:\I386. This allows for easy removal and
addition of Windows components.
Computers with HDDs include a recovery partition with the original factory
image. Refer to the Cloning Utility for Rockwell Automation Industrial
Computers Technical Data, publication 6000-TD002, for instructions.
To obtain a copy of a factory system image, contact your local technical support
center or access the Rockwell Automation Product Compatibility and Download
Center (PCDC) at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/support/pcdc.page.

Environment and Enclosure Information
European Union Compliance
This computer meets the European Union Directive requirements when installed
within the European Union or EEA regions and have the CE mark. A copy of the
declaration of the conformity is available at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/
certification .
ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC 60664-1),
at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating. The enclosure door must
be closed.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A equipment according to IEC/CISPR 11.
Without appropriate precautions, there can be potential difficulties ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to conducted as well as
radiated disturbance.
This equipment can be mounted in an enclosure that is suitably designed to
prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. If not mounted
inside another enclosure, the mounting method must limit the tilt of the computer
to +/- 30° from vertical. Examples include articulated arm, table-top stand, wall
mount, or other means having sufficient mechanical stability. The mounting
means must be firmly attached to the supporting surface using screws bolts, or
clamps so the computer cannot tip.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
•Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1,
for additional installation requirements
•NEMA 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of
protection provided by different types of enclosure
ATTENTION: This computer is intended to operate in an industrial or control
room environment, which uses some form of power isolation from the public
low–voltage mains. Some computer configurations cannot comply with the
EN 61000-3-2 Harmonic Emissions standard as specified by the EMC Directive of
the European Union. Obtain permission from the local power authority before
connecting any computer configuration that draws more than 75 W of AC power
directly from the public mains.
To comply with EN 55024, the Ethernet port LAN cable 30 m (98.42 ft), only used
indoors, and not exit the building at any point. All other I/O cables must be less
than 3 m (9.84 ft) and only used indoors.

Installation Chapter 2
Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to make sure your computer provides safe and reliable service:
•The installation site must have sufficient power.
•In dry environments, static charges can build up easily. Proper grounding
of the computer helps to reduce static discharges, which can cause shock
and damage electronic components.
•The enclosure must allow sufficient space around air inlets and outlets to
provide the circulation necessary for cooling. See Mounting Clearance
Requirements on page 20 for further information. Never allow air passages
to become obstructed.
•The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating
temperature specified in Tab le 4 on pa g e 4 8 . Consider a user-supplied fan,
heat exchanger, or air conditioner for heat generated by other devices in
the enclosure.
•The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed limits specified in
Ta b le 4 o n p a g e 4 8 and must avoid condensation.
•
The enclosure or cover must remain in place at all times during operation. The
cover provides protection against high voltages inside the computer and
inhibits radio-frequency emissions that can interfere with other equipment.
• When mounted, the computer cannot be tilted more than 30° from vertical.
ATTENTION: To maintain an electrically safe installation, AC powered
computers must be plugged into a grounded outlet.
TIP
Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often
higher than the temperature in other parts of the enclosure, especially
if air is not circulating.
IMPORTANT
The computer can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life
span of any electronic device is shortened if you continuously operate
the computer at its highest rated temperature.

Mounting Clearance
Requirements
Figure 6 - Minimum Clearances
IMPORTANT
Because of self-heating, do not operate the computer in an enclosure with the
minimum clearances unless adequate ventilation or other cooling methods are
used to lower the temperature within the enclosure.
Allow enough clearance to easily install or remove peripheral components, such
as internal drives.
