This manual describes the possible options and features of the Valueline IPC available at
the time of printing. For specific part numbers and components, refer to the configuration
sheet included with the unit to determine the installed options.
In some mounting orientations, the labels with the model number, product serial number,
and the Microsoft®Windows®operating system product key are hidden. Copy the
information from these labels before mounting the VL IPC. It’s a good idea to write this
information on the inside cover of this manual.

2 Installation
The flexibility of the Valueline IPC allows many different installation options.
2.1 Mounting and clearances
Depending on the configuration ordered, there are several ways to mount the VL IPC. Use
the appropriate section below to mount the VL IPC.
When installing the VL IPC in a cabinet, follow these general rules:
– Verify clearances within the cabinet. Typically, leave at least 5 cm (2 in.) on each side
with 12.7 cm (5 in.) on the connector side if the VL IPC has the optional optical storage
drive.
– Drill all holes and make all cuts before beginning installation. Be sure to protect already
installed components from shavings.
– Supporting panels must be at least 14 gauge to provide proper support.
– Make sure that there is adequate space around the heat sink (on the back of the VL IPC)
and air inlets and outlets to provide sufficient cooling.
2.1.1 Temperature specifications
Operational temperature limits depend on the specific configuration of the Valueline IPC
(see Table 2-1 “Temperature limits” for details).
NOTE:
Install the VL IPC with adequate clearance around the heat sink to provide sufficient air
flow such that ambient temperatures do not exceed the operating limits listed in
Section 2.1.1, “Temperature specifications”. Install cooling fan(s) in the enclosure, if
necessary.

2.1.2 Wall-mount and bookshelf installation
Wall mounts are valid for VL IPCs that do not include a display. Use this type of mounting to
install the VL IPC on the inside of a cabinet. The VL IPC can be attached to a flat surface in
either a wall mount or bookshelf orientation. Either way, attach the unit using the four key
holes. The mounting surface must be flat and not subject to vibration.
Figure 2-1 Wall and bookshelf mounts
To install a wall mounted VL IPC, follow these steps:
1. Use the VL IPC as a template and mark the locations of the key holes on the mounting
surface.
2. Use the correct anchor type for the mounting surface and securely attach the VL IPC to
the wall. Anchor hardware must be smaller than 6 mm. Ensure the attaching hardware
is in the small section of the key holes.
3. Tighten mounting screws. Be careful not to overtighten the attachment hardware.
NOTE:
Exceeding the system temperature limits can result in performance degradation of any or
all components. It is therefore important that the ambient temperature of the installation
environment is kept within the system temperature limits of your Valueline IPC.

2.1.3 Panel mount
Panel mounts are the only valid mounting system for VL IPCs with a display. This mounting
system permits installation of the VL IPC in a cabinet so the display panel is visible on the
outside (see Figure 2-2).
Figure 2-2 Panel mount
NOTE:
Connectors and switches must be accessible from the rear. A wall panel thickness of at
least 1.9 mm (14 ga.) is required for correct mounting with IP65 protection

2.2 Interfaces
After mounting the VL IPC, make any necessary cable connections. Depending on the
mounting method, connections are made at the rear or bottom of the VL IPC (see
Figure 2-5). If the Valueline computer includes PCI slots, additional connections may be
required to the PCI cards inserted in the PCI slots.

2.2.1 Communication interfaces
Various ports and connections allow the VL IPC to communicate with other devices. The
connections available on the IPC module are
–Ethernet: Two RJ45 connectors are located on the rear of the VL IPC. These allow the
computer to communicate on a 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet network.
–Serial: Serial devices connect to the DB-9 RS-232 port.
–USB: USB devices connect using Type A connectors. The VL IPC has four USB ports.
–VGA: This port connects the VL IPC to an external analog display with a corresponding
VGA connector.
–DVI-D: This port connects the VL IPC to an external digital display with a corresponding
DVI-D connector.
2.2.2 External display
External displays can be connected to the VL IPC to function as a desktop extension or as
an auxiliary display. Use the VGA port for analog displays and DVI-D port for digital displays.
(see Figure 2-5).
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) displays will download its capabilities to the
display driver while non-EDID displays will not. In either case, additional settings can be
applied through the Intel®Graphics Media Accelerator (see “Intel®Graphics Media
Accelerator user interface” on page 3-18).
NOTE:
The VL IPC DVI-D port only passes digital signals; therefore, connecting an analog display
to the DVI-D port and using a VGA to DVI adapter will not work.

2.2.3 Installing PCI cards
Installing a PCI card in the optional PCI slots is done as follows:
1. Ensure the card does not exceed the maximum dimensions for the intended slot (see
“Computer data” on page A-2).
2. Remove power from the unit.
Figure 2-6 Cover removal
3. Place the unit on a soft cloth on a flat, horizontal surface with the ribbed surface (cover)
up.
4. Remove the four Phillips-head screws, 1, from the cover, 2, and remove the cover.
NOTE:
Use standard ESD precautions when removing or installing PCI cards to avoid damage to
the cards and the VL IPC.
The PCI card option is not available with the Atom standard chassis.
