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.
All I/O cables must be used only indoors.

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, and
USB cables must be less than 3 m (9.84 ft) long.
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 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 this VersaView 6300B box PC or 6300T box 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 Wiring
Follow these steps to connect the box PC or box thin client 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.
6. Proceed to Install the Factory-supplied DC Power Connector Assembly on page 5.

VersaView 6300B Box PCs and 6300T Box Thin Clients Installation Instructions
Install the Factory-supplied DC Power Connector Assembly
For 6300B-BMAx and 6300B-BMBx Box PCs, and 6300T-BAx1 Box Thin Clients
This connector assembly provides strain relief for the DC power wires by reducing their movement. To assemble and attach the connector assembly, perform the following steps.
1. Remove the DC terminal block from the computer chassis.
2. Open the power connector assembly kit that ships with the computer (A).
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 Figure 2.
5. Insert each stripped end into the DC terminal block as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 - 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 Figure 2.
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 Figure 2.
13. Proceed to Connect DC Power on page 6.
IMPORTANT The DC terminal block in the photos is only for illustrative purposes. Your DC terminal block can differ in size, shape, and color to
what is shown in the photos.
The white label can be used for identification or other information.
When installed correctly, both tabs of the clamp half lock into place.

For 6300B-BMFx and 6300B-DRFx Box PCs
To assemble and attach the connector assembly, perform the following steps.
1. Remove the DC terminal block from the computer chassis.
2. Strip 10 mm (0.4 in.) from the end of four different-colored wires.
3. Press the spring connection tabs on the DC terminal block, and insert each
stripped end of wire according to the following table.
4. Release the spring connection tabs after the stripped end of each wire has been
fully inserted in the appropriate terminal connection.
5. Reconnect the DC terminal block to the computer chassis.
Torque the DC terminal block flange screws to 0.3 N•m (0.22 ft•lb).
6. Proceed to Connect DC Power.
Connect DC Power
All VersaView 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, Allen-Bradley® recommends that DC powered models use only one grounded connection. See Install the Ground Wire on page 4 for the
ground connection on these models.
Computer Light-emitting Diode and Button Descriptions
Once power is supplied to the computer, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) signify the following.
IMPORTANT Use stranded copper wire sized 1.5 mm2(16 AWG)
and certified for at least 85 °C operation.
ATTENTION: When you connect power to the box PC or box thin client 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 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.
