+Installing the Box PC 620
The Box PC 620 can be operated in several fitting positions. It is particularly suitable for fitting in
consoles, switch boards and control panels.
The Box PC 620 with AC power supply meets the requirements for a fire enclosure to EN60950. it
can therefore be fitted without an additional fire enclosure.
The Box PC 620 with DC power supply is an open device according to EN60950; therefore the
mounting must meet the requirements of a fire enclosure.
!Warning
Only connect the device to 24V DC power supply systems which meet the requirements of a safe
extra-low voltage (SELV).
The cable cross section has to be large enough that the Box PC will not be damaged by the cables
when there is a short circuit.
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 around the housing must be at least 100 mm at the front and rear, so that the PC is
sufficiently ventilated.
•Make certain that the ventilation slots for the housing are not covered.
•Observe the permissible fitting positions without fail when installing the systems.
!Warning
If the systems are installed in a non-permissible fitting position, the approvals pursuant to UL 1950,
UL 508 and EN60950 are no longer valid!

Depending on the configuration of the device, two mounting brackets are included in the scope of
delivery. You can attach these to the housing with 6 screws (M3x6).
M4 thread, max. depth of engagement 5 mm
M3 thread, max. depth of engagement 5 mm
Equipotential grounding connection
Instructions for wall and ceiling mounting
To install the Box PC 620 at a concrete wall or ceiling proceed as follows:
1. Fix the mounting brackets at the housing of the PC.
2. Drill four holes of 8 mm diameter and 60 mm depth into the wall or ceiling. You will find the required
dimension drawings on the following pages.
3. Insert the concrete plugs (8 mm diameter and 50 mm long) into the drill holes.
4. Fix the PC with four screws (4 mm diameter and 50 mm long).
In a plasterboard wall or ceiling (min. 13 mm thick), drill holes of 14 mm diameter and fasten the PC
with four anchors (4 mm diameter and 50 mm long).
In a metal sheet wall or eiling (min. 2 mm thick), drill holes of 5 mm diameter and fasten the PC with
four screws (4 mm diameter and min. 15 mm long).
!Warning
The installer must verify that the wall or ceiling can support four times the full load of the Box PC
(with mounting brackets and Add-On-Cards).
The Box PC 620 without floppy disk drive or with built-in floppy disk adapter is an open device;
therefore the mounting must meet the requirements of a fire enclosure.

+Connection to the Power Supply Unit
!Warning
The Box PC 620 with AC power supply is equipped with a safety-tested mains cable and may only
be connected to a grounded grounding outlet.
Make sure that the socket on the device or the grounding outlet of the building installation is easily
accessible and as near as possible to the device.
The mains plug must be pulled out for complete mains separation. This point must be easily
accessible.
If the PC is installed in a cabinet, there must be a central mains disconnector.
The AC power supply unit of the Box PC 620 is designed for 120/230/240V systems. The power
supply unit has a long-range input. It is not necessary to adjust the voltage span.
If a ferrite core is contained in the scope of delivery of the device, fasten it at the power cable in the
vicinity of the connector for non-heating devices.
The DC-power supply unit of the Box PC 620 is designed for 24V systems.
!Warning
The Box PC 620 with a DC power supply is only to be connected to a 24V DC electricity power
supply network, which fulfills the requirements of a safety extra low–voltage system (SELV).
Optionally, one of these power supplies is installed.
Equipotential Measures
Low-impedance ground connections ensure that faults arising from external power supply cables,
signalling cables or cables to peripheral units are diverted.
Therefore connect the equipotential grounding connection on the system housing to the central earth
terminal of the cabinet or the unit, into which the computer is fitted, in such a way that it has low
impedance (large surface area, large contacts). The minimum cross section should not be less than
5 mm2.
The connection is on the rear of the device and is identified by the symbol:
Before you connect the Box PC 620 to the mains, the keyboard, mouse or monitor must be
connected.
1. Insert the connector cable of these peripheral units into the corresponding sockets on the port side
of the Box PC 620.
2. Connect the device to the mains.
3. The device is now in standby mode.

2. The PC executes a self-test. During self-test the following message appears on the screen:
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
Wait until the message disappears and follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
3. If necessary, enter your product key. The product key can be found on the device in the line
“Product Key” of the “Certificate of Authenticity”.
Notice
Never switch off your PC before software installation has been completed in order to avoid the loss
of any software components which are essential for a regular operation of the Box PC 620.
Do not change the BIOS default values, otherwise the operating system installation may not run
correctly.
Startup under Microsoft Windows
The operating system is set up once you have entered the requisite information. The Welcome to
Windows screen helps you to get familiar with the Desktop user interface.
Now the user interface is displayed following system startup every time you power up or reset the PC.
Complete Restart of the Box PC 620
Once the Box PC 620’s operating system is set up, the user interface of the operating system is
displayed following system startup every time you switch on or reset the PC.
+Switching Off the Box PC 620
Before switching off the Box PC 620, you have to shut down the operating system to avoid loss of
data. The Box PC 620 has no mains switch and is switched off only after disconnecting it from the
mains.

+Reinstallation of the Software
In case of software errors reinstall your software using the Recovery CD, the Documentation and
Drivers CD and the Restore CD.
Recovery CD: contains the tools for installing the hard disk and the operating systems.
Documentation and Drivers CD: contains the documentation and the hardware drivers.
Restore CD: contains an Image file with the original delivery software.
To restore the delivery state, proceed as follows:
•Insert the Restore CD in the drive, restart the device and press the ESC button when the BIOS
