ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in
IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6561 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/EN 61326-1. Without appropriate precautions, there can be
potential difficulties with electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is considered open equipment, which means it must be mounted in an enclosure where the equipment can be operated from the front
panel.
The enclosure in which this equipment is installed must be accessed only with a key or tool, and only by trained and authorized personnel.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1, for more installation requirements
• UL 50, CSA C22.2 No. 94.1, and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by enclosures
ATTENTION: This equipment 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 you connect any computer configuration that draws more
than 75 W of AC power directly from the public mains.
All I/O cables must be used only indoors.

Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to make sure that your computer provides service with excellent reliability.
• When choosing the installation site, consider the following:
- The site must have sufficient power
- The site must be indoors and non-hazardous
- The site must not expose the computer to direct sunlight
• The computers can operate in a surrounding air temperature range as follows:
- 0…55 °C (32…131 °F) with the Intel Atom x5 processor
- 0…50 °C (32…122 °F) with the Intel Atom x7 processor, and Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors
- 0…45 °C (32…113 °F) with the Intel Core i7 processor
The surrounding air temperature must not exceed the maximum temperature for your computer, especially when the computer is mounted in an enclosure.
• The computers can be stored in a surrounding air temperature range of -10…+60 °C (14…140 °F).
• The humidity of the surrounding air must not exceed 80% noncondensing.
Mounting Requirements
Follow these requirements to mount the VersaView® 6300B book mount box PCs or VersaView 6300T wall mount thin clients.
• Choose a suitable mounting height.
• Only mount the computer in a vertical (upright) position, where the ground screw is at the bottom, as shown in the dimensional drawing on this page.
• Mount the computer so there is at least 20 mm (0.8 in.) of clearance on each side for the circulation necessary for cooling.
Required Tools and Hardware for Installation
The following tools are needed for the mounting bracket installations.
• A drill and 4 mm drill bit
• 2.5 mm Phillips screwdriver
• Four M4x20 stainless steel screws (customer supplied)
• Safety glasses
Install the Computer With the Book Mount Bracket
1. Use the dimensions below to locate and drill holes for the four M4x20 stainless steel screws.
2. Install the four customer-supplied screws but leave enough space to hang the brackets.
3. Align the keyhole slots on the top bracket with the top two screws.
4. Align the slots on the bottom bracket with the bottom two screws.
5. Slide the computer downward until all four screws are at the top of each bracket slot.

VersaView 6300B Box PCs and 6300T Box Thin Clients Installation Instructions
Connect Peripheral Cables
Connect peripheral cables to the appropriate I/O ports on the computer. To comply with EN 61326-1, use the
following for cable types. All I/O cables must be used only indoors.
Grounding and Bonding
Whenever two connected pieces of equipment are far apart, it is possible that their ground connections could be
at a different potential level.
To overcome these possible spikes, the following bonding methods can help prevent electrical energizing by
routing voltage spikes safely to earth ground:
• Method 1: Connect the data cable shields to the equipotential bonding rail on both sides before
connecting the cable to the interfaces.
• Method 2: Use an equipotential bonding cable (16 mm2or 6 AWG) to connect the grounds between this
VersaView 6300B computer or 6300T thin client and a connected monitor.
DC Power Supply Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to select the DC power supply for the computer.
• The computer must be powered with a voltage of 24V DC (18…32V DC).
• The nominal output power must be 25% larger than the drained power.
• The output voltage rise time has to be less than 100 ms.
• Consider the working temperature and the thermal derating of the power supply.
• The inrush current cannot exceed a peak current of 10 A and a pulse width time of 400 µs.
Connect DC Power
Operate the computer in an industrial or control room environment, which uses some form of power isolation from the public, low voltage mains.
Follow these steps to connect the computer to a DC power source.
Install the Ground Wire
1. Turn off the main power switch or breaker.
2. Remove the supplied nut, eyelet terminal, and washers from the ground screw.
3. For earth ground, fasten a 2.5 mm2(14 AWG) or larger external wire to the eyelet terminal.
Use a ground wire with an insulation color that is approved by local inspection authority.
4. Install the ground wire to the ground screw in the sequence at right.
5. Tighten the nut to the ground screw.

3. Insert the cable tie through the slots of the appropriate connector half (B).
4. Strip the end of each DC power wire to the length in Table 1.
5. Insert each stripped end into the DC terminal block as shown in Table 1.
Table 1 - DC Terminal Block Connection Specifications
6. Tighten the screws on top of the terminal block to secure the DC power wires to the torque value in Table 1.
7. Slide the connector half with the attached tie onto the end of the DC terminal block (C).
8. Tighten the cable tie so it is snug against the terminal wires.
9. Use cutting pliers to cut the excess part of the cable tie (D).
10. Install the white label supplied with the kit (E).
11. Align and install the other connector clamp half to complete the assembly (F).
12. Reconnect the DC terminal block with the connector assembly to the computer chassis.
Torque the DC terminal block flange screws to the values in Table 1.
13. Turn on the main power switch or breaker.
IMPORTANT DC power wires must be of stranded copper and sized according to Table 1.

Computer Light-emitting Diode and Button Descriptions
Once power is supplied to the computer, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) signify the following.
ATTENTION: When you connect power to the computer for the first time, these actions occur:
• The default UEFI setting automatically starts the computer after it is plugged into a power source.
• For VersaView 6300B book mount box PCs with a Microsoft Windows operating system (OS), you must read and accept an End User Setup
procedure.
Do not disconnect power from the system until after the Windows Setup procedure is completed. If power is disconnected during this
procedure, it can result in a corrupted system image.
