Caution
The safety instructions given on the reverse of the title page of this Getting
Started must be observed. Before expanding your Rack PC IL refer to Chapter 5
in the electronic manual and read the relevant safety instructions.
This device corresponds to the relevant safety measures according to IEC, EN,
VDE, UL, and CSA. If you have questions about the permissibility of the installation
in the designated environment, please contact our service representative.
Installation Notes
Condensation can occur if the device is transported from a cold environment into
the operating area. Wait until the device has adapted to the room temperature and
is completely dry before operating it. Please observe the notes on ambient
conditions in Chapter 6 in the electronic manual and the installation notes in
Section 2.2 of this manual when installing and operating the device. The device is
to be installed so that there is no danger of it falling or of causing damage to itself
or others.
Be sure the fan ventilation slots are open so that a sufficient amount of air can be
drawn in to cool the housing interior.
!Warning
Take note of the permissible fitting positions without fail when installing the
systems (see Section 2.2).
If the systems are installed in a non-permissible fitting position, the approvals
pursuant to UL 1950 and EN60950 are no longer valid!

Power Connection
Install the cables so that no one can step on them or trip over them. When you
connect the device, adhere to the relevant instructions in Section 2.3 of this
manual.
Do not connect or disconnect power supply cables and data transmission lines
during thunderstorms.
In emergency situations (for example, damaged housing, damaged operator
elements, a damaged power supply cable, ingress of liquids or foreign particles),
switch off the device. Disconnect the power plug and inform the responsible service
personnel.
The Rack PC IL must be switched off when you connect or disconnect peripheral
devices (keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.). You can damage the PC if you do not
adhere to these instructions.
Notes for Devices with AC Power Supply
The device is intended for service in grounded electricity supply systems (TN
systems to VDE 0100, part 300, or IEC 364-3).
Service in non-grounded or impedance-grounded supply systems (IT systems) is
not intended.
The power cord should meet the respective local safety requirements.
Check whether the device's set supply voltage is the same as the local supply
voltage.
This device is equipped with a safety-tested power supply cable. You may connect
this device only to a grounding outlet with a grounding contact.
Make certain that the socket outlet on the device or the grounding contact for the
building wiring system is freely accessible and as near to the device as possible.
To establish a complete power separation, you must disconnect the power plug
(inlet connector on the back of the device). This location must be accessible. A
central isolating switch must be present for cabinet mounting.

1.4 Transport
Transporting
Despite the fact that the Rack PC IL is of rugged design, its internal components
are sensitive to severe vibrations or shock. You must therefore protect the PC from
severe mechanical stress when transporting it.
Use the original packing material if you have to ship the Rack PC IL from one
location to another.
!Caution
Risk of damage!
When transporting the PC in cold weather, when it may be submitted to extreme
variations in temperature, make sure that there is no moisture (condensation) on
or in the PC.
The PC must be allowed to reach room temperature slowly before you switch it
on.

2.2 Installing the SIMATIC Rack PC IL
The Rack PC is suitable for vertical and horizontal fitting in consoles, switch boards
and 19" rack systems.
Notice
In the event of a vertical installation, make sure the right side of the device faces
up.
The Rack PC IL meets the requirements for a fire enclosure to EN 60950. It can
therefore be fitted without an additional fire enclosure.
Please note the following points when installing the PC:
•Avoid extreme ambient conditions as far as possible. Protect your PC from
dust, moisture, and heat.
•Keep the PC out of direct sunlight.
•Mount the PC as safely as possible to prevent any danger (for example, by
falling over).
•The clearance near the ventilation slots must be at least 50 mm, so that the PC
is sufficiently ventilated.
•Make certain that the ventilation slots for the housing are not covered.
•Make certain that the sliding door in front of the drives is closed during
operation.
•The Rack PC IL can be mounted on telescopic rails or on cabinet brackets. It is
not permitted to mount it at the 19" front supports only.
•Use the respective manufacturer's cabinet or rack slide rails or L-sections.
Contact your cabinet supplier directly regarding cabinet or rack installation.
•The use of the telescopic rails makes it possible to completely pull the Rack
PC out of the cabinet or rack.
Notice
If the systems are installed without keeping to the conditions mentioned above,
the approvals pursuant to UL 1950 and EN60950 are no longer valid!
