United States FCC Part 15, Subpart B, Class A EMI Compliance Statement:
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required
to correct the interference at his own expense.
For European Users - WARNING
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which
case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
INSTALLATION: Electromagnetic Compatibility WARNING
The connection of non-shielded equipment interface cables to this equipment will invalidate FCC EMI and
European Union EMC compliance and may result in electromagnetic interference and/or susceptibility levels
which are in violation of regulations which apply to the legal operation of this device. It is the responsibility
of the system integrator and/or user to apply the following directions which relate to installation and
configuration:
1. All interface cables must include shielded cables. Braid/foil type shields are recommended.
Communication cable connectors must be metal, ideally zinc die-cast backshell types, and provide 360
degree protection about the interface wires. The cable shield braid must be terminated directly to the
metal connector shell, ground drain wires alone are not adequate.
2. In those cases where an external mouse is used, the snap-on ferrite bead provided (P/N 116046) must be
installed on the mouse cable at the host end in order to comply with relevant EMI regulations.
3. Protective measures for power and interface cables as described within this manual must be applied. Do
not leave cables connected to unused interfaces or disconnected at one end. Changes or modifications
to this device not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
4. EMC compliance is, in part, a function of PCB design. Third party add-on AT/XT peripheral PCB
assemblies installed within this apparatus may void EMC compliance. FCC/CE compliant PCB
assemblies should always be used where possible. XYCOM can accept no responsibility for the EMC
performance of this apparatus after system integrator/user installation of PCB assemblies not
manufactured and/or expressly tested and approved for compliance by XYCOM. It is the responsibility
of the system integrator/user to ensure that installation and operation of such devices does not void
EMC compliance.

Chapter 1 – Introduction
Product Overview
The 9460/9462 and 9460KP/9462KP Flat-Panel Industrial Computers combine a
PC/AT™ computer with a flat-panel display to offer a powerful, compact package for the
factory floor and other harsh environments. The 9460/9462 and keypad version features
an open architecture to meet a wide variety of applications that require both a powerful
PC and a durable industrial enclosure. The system integrates a computer card cage, mass
storage, display, and power supply in a truly industrial form factor.
The front panels of the units are sealed to NEMA 4/4X/12 and IP65 (9460/9462 only),
standards and is protected by an impact-resistant shield. The 9460KP and 9462KP ver-
sions are sealed to NEMA 4/4X/12.
The processor board combines all the functions of a complete IBM PC/AT compatible
computer on a single industrially hardened circuit board. Refer to the Xycom CPU manual
for more information on processor and hardware features.
The system’s modular design allows easy access to expansion boards, switches, power
supply, flat-panel display, and disk drives.
