Application Planning 3
3.1 Transport
Despite the device's 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.
You should always use the original packaging for shipping and transporting the device.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to the device!
When transporting the PC in cold weather, it may be submitted to extreme variations in
temperature. In this situation, ensure that no moisture (condensation) develops on or inside
the device.
If condensation has developed on the device wait at least 12 hours before you switch it on.
3.2 Unpacking and checking the delivery unit
Unpacking the device
Note the following points when you unpack the unit
● It is advisable not to dispose of the original packing material. Keep it in case you have to
transport the unit again.
● Please keep the documentation in a safe place. It is required for initial commissioning and
is part of the device.
● Check the delivery unit for any visible transport damage.
● Verify that the shipment contains the complete unit and your separately ordered
accessories. Please inform your local dealer of any disagreements or transport damage.

3.3 Device identification data
The device can be clearly identified with the help of this identification data in case of repairs
or theft.
Enter the following data in the table below:
● Serial number: The serial number (S VP...) is found on the rating plate.
Rating plate
● Order number of the device
● Ethernet addresses: The Ethernet addresses of the device can be viewed in the BIOS
Setup (F2) under "Main > Hardware Options > Ethernet Address".
● Microsoft Windows "Product Key" on the "Certificate of Authenticity" (COA). The COA
label is bonded to the device. The Product Key is always required to reinstall the
operating system.

3.4 Ambient and environmental conditions
SIMATIC Box PC 827B
Getting Started, 07/2008, A5E01127540-02 17
3.4 Ambient and environmental conditions
When you plan your project, you should make allowances for:
● The climatic and mechanical environmental conditions specified in the specifications
given in your operating instructions.
● At least 100 mm space should be left free around the ventilation slots, in order that the
PC receives sufficient ventilation.
● Do not cover the vent slots of the device.
● The device together with its AC power supply fulfils the requirements for fire protected
enclosures according to EN 60950-1. Therefore it can be installed without any additional
fire protective covering.
● The device with DC power supply does not fulfill the requirements according to
EN 60950-1 in the power supply unit area. The device must therefore be installed in such
a ways is part of an operating area with restricted access (e.g. a locked switchgear
cabinet, control panel or server room).
● Always observe the mounting positions permitted for this device.
● The connected or built-in peripherals should not introduce a counter emf in excess of
0.5 V into the device.
WARNING
Failure to adhere to these conditions when mounting the system voids the approvals
based on UL 60950-1, UL 508 and EN 60950-1!

Getting Started, 07/2008, A5E01127540-02 19
Additional PC mounting positions according to UL508/CSA 22.2 No. 142
An inclination of ±15° is allowed in this mounting position.
Position 4 (ports facing down)
CD/DVD drive cannot be operated.
Position 5 (ports facing above)
CD/DVD drive cannot be operated.
Note
CD/DVD and floppy drives cannot be operated in this position. The CD drawer opens upward
or downward which can lead to mechanical damages in the drawer mechanism.
NOTICE
When using the device in the area of Industrial Control Equipment (UL 508), ensure that the
it is classified as "Open Type". A mandatory requirement for approval or operation
according to UL 508 is therefore installation of the device in an enclosure certified for UL
508.
NOTICE
Mounting positions 4 and 5 are also permitted for the Information Technology Equipment
area when the device is mounted in an enclosure that fulfills the requirements stipulated by
sections 4.6 and 4.7.3 of IEC/UL/EN/DIN EN 60950-1.
