Whenever two connected pieces of equipment are far apart, it is possible that their ground connections could be at another potential level. 
To overcome these possible grounding problems, the following bonding methods are recommended:
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 the 6300B Box PC/6300T Thin Client and a
connected monitor.
IMPORTANT • All DC powered models require a safety extra low voltage (SELV) power supply. The internal power supply is protected against reverse polarity.
• To minimize ground loop currents and noise, we recommend that DC powered models use only one grounded connection. 
See Step A: Install the Ground Wire on page 4 for the ground connection on these models.
• Follow all guidelines as stated in DC Power Supply Guidelines on page 3.

6300B Box PCs and 6300T Box Thin Clients Installation Instructions
LED Status Indicators and Buttons
‘’
ATTENTION: When you connect power to your box PC or thin client for the first time, these actions occur:
• The default UEFI setting automatically starts your box PC or thin client after it is plugged into a power source.
• For 6300B 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 Microsoft Windows Setup procedure is completed.
If power is disconnected during this procedure, it can result in a corrupted system image.
