Installation
European Union This product meets the European Union Directive requirements when
installed within the European Union or EEA regions and have the CE
Compliance mark. A copy of the Declaration of Conformity is available at the
Rockwell Automation website http://www.ab.com.
Environment and Enclosure Review the information on enclosures and environments before
installing the product.
Information
ATTENTION This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications
(as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m
(6561 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered a Group 1, Class A industrial
equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without
appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties
ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments
due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
UL listed equipment need not be mounted inside another
enclosure if NEMA Type and IEC ratings are not required, but the
mounting method must limit the tilt of the product to +/- 60°
from vertical. An example is a tabletop stand. The mounting
means must be firmly attached to the supporting surface using
screws, bolts, or clamps so the computer cannot tip. These units
ship with a gasketed bezel to meet specified NEMA and IEC
ratings only when mounted in a panel or enclosure with an
equivalent rating. Subsequent sections of this publication may
contain additional information regarding specific enclosure type
ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety
certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, for
additional installation requirements, publication 1770-4.1.
Installation Considerations Follow these guidelines to make sure your product provides safe and
reliable service.
• The enclosure must allow sufficient space around air inlets and
outlets to provide the circulation necessary for cooling. Never
allow air passages to become obstructed.
• The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum
operating temperature. Consider heat produced by other devices
in the enclosure. You may need to provide a fan, heat
exchanger, or air conditioner to meet this condition.
TIP Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is
often higher than the temperature in other parts of the
enclosure, especially if air is not circulating.
Mounting Clearances When selecting an installation site for the computers, be sure to allow
adequate clearance on the sides and rear of the computer for proper
ventilation, cable connection, and hardware access. Sufficient airflow
throughout the system unit is required to maintain proper cooling.
Clearance should be enough to allow convenient installation or
removal of peripheral components, such as the CompactFlash card.

The DIMM slots are designed for proper installation. If you insert
a memory module but it does not fit easily into the slot, you may
have inserted it incorrectly. Reverse the orientation of the
module and insert it again.
10. Push the module at both ends to seat it fully into the slot (2).
The holding clips will automatically lock into place once the
module has been seated.
11. Fasten a replacement cable tie around the DIMM slot latches (1).
12. Pull the end of the cable tie to lock it in place (2).
RTC Battery The computers use nonvolatile memory that requires an RTC
(real-time clock) battery to retain system information when power is
removed. The RTC battery is beside the DIMM1 slot.
If the computer does not retain the correct time and date, replace the
battery.
WARNING
A risk of fire and chemical burn exists if the battery is not
handled properly. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, or short
external contacts, or expose the battery to temperatures higher
than 60 °C (140 °F).
Do not dispose of a used battery in water or fire. Dispose of
used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.
ATTENTION To avoid voiding your product warranty, use only the Rockwell
Automation Allen-Bradley approved battery. Use of another
battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
IMPORTANT Do not overbend the battery latch when replacing the RTC
battery. For proper operation, the latch must retain contact with
the battery.
5. Insert the new battery, with the positive polarity (+ side) facing
the latch, in the socket, making sure the battery is seated
completely (3).
9. On the Exit menu page, select Load Setup Defaults, then press
Enter.
IMPORTANT Loss of BIOS settings occurs when the battery is removed. BIOS
settings must be reconfigured whenever the battery is
replaced.
System Troubleshooting
Hardware Diagnostics The built-in hardware monitor of the computer tracks the operating
threshold levels of the voltage and temperature sensors.
Troubleshooting Procedure Follow this procedure to identify and isolate a problem with the
computer’s operation.
1. Shut down the computer by using the appropriate method for
the installed operating system.
2. Disconnect power from the computer.
3. Disconnect all peripheral devices from the computer.
4. Connect the keyboard and mouse, if used.
5. Check the video connection if using an external monitor.
6. Connect power to the computer and check the POST; one of
three events will occur.
• The computer completes the start-up process.
• An error message displays to indicate a nonfatal fault. You
may have to acknowledge the message before the start-up
process continues.
• The start-up process terminates if a fatal error occurs.
7. If the system starts, isolate the problem by connecting peripheral
devices one at a time until the problem occurs.
If the problem is with a specific software package, or driver,
reinstall the software.
If the problem is not related specifically to a software installation
or a peripheral device, refer to the diagnostic utility and the
troubleshooting checklists.
Diagnostic Utility If you followed the troubleshooting procedure and are still having
problems, use the diagnostic utility to isolate the problem. This utility
determines the cause of the malfunction by testing computer
components.
(1) For standard computers, attach an external CD-ROM drive to use the Support CD.
Use the clear CMOS jumper (CN6) to reset the CMOS data.
1. Back up all system data and then power down the computer.
5. Remove the jumper block from its default position (pins 1-2)
and place it over the center and exposed pin (pins 2-3) for 10
seconds.
11. On the Exit menu page, select Load Setup Defaults, and then
press Enter.
• Check that the selected character color is not the same as the
background color.
• Try setting to the native resolution. Refer to Appendix A -
Specifications.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Computer It is important to maintain your computer by cleaning the display, heat
sink and vent holes, and removing grease or paint.
ATTENTION
Use of abrasive cleansers or solvents may damage the display
window. Do not scrub or use brushes.
ATTENTION
If the computer has a touch screen, be aware that it is possible
for screen objects to activate during equipment wash-downs if
the computer is turned on.
3. Vacuum dust and debris from the heat sink and vent holes.
Follow these steps to remove paint and grease from the bezel of
computers properly mounted in NEMA Type 4/4X or IEC IP66
enclosures.
ATTENTION
Make sure the isopropyl alcohol does not come in contact with
the equipment labels. Alcohol may cause the label printing to
smear.

Touch Screen Controller Computers with a touch screen are shipped with the touch screen
controller installed and connected. The touch screen controller
connects internally to a USB port. The touch screen is factory
configured with the proper USB and touch screen driver settings, so
no user configuration is required.
Touch Screen Driver The touch screen driver is already loaded on the computer. The driver
software is also available for download at
http://www.ab.com/industrialcomputers/drivers.
Resistive Touch Screen Resistive touch screens are activated when you apply pressure to the
touch screen with your finger. You can operate a resistive touch
Technology screen while wearing gloves.
Calibrate the Touch Screen The touch screen supplied with the computer is factory installed and
calibrated.

Solid state drives (SSD) are a direct replacement for rotating hard
drives on the IDE bus. They are drop-in replacements for their hard
drive counterparts.
Solid state drives offer these improvements over the standard hard
drive:
The rotating hard disk drive is susceptible to shock and vibration. This
weakness becomes more apparent as the temperature increases.
Although the solid state drive offers improvements in these areas, you
must consider limitations of other key components within your
systems before choosing to replace hard disk drives.
Installation Use caution when installing or handling a solid state drive. Even
though the solid state drive is typically designed with a case around
the PCB assembly, you must handle the drive with care to prevent
possible electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
Operation The solid state drive appears to the system host as a standard rotating
hard drive when powered up. The system host identifies the solid
state drive during bootup and sets the IDE bus speed to reflect the
capability of the drive.
Do not remove power abruptly. Always use the proper power down
procedure as required by your operating system, such as the Shut
Down function in the Start menu. Whenever possible, use an
uninterruptible power source (UPS) or other power conditioning
device to perform a proper shutdown during unexpected power
interruptions.
The controller on the solid state drive uses an error correcting code
(ECC) and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to check for data errors.
Life Expectancy The limitation of the solid state drive is the finite amount of writes to a
specific memory location. The life expectancy of a solid state drive
varies depending on:
• how often an application writes data to the drive.
• the size of the file written to the drive.
• the amount of available space on the drive that can be used by
the drive’s controller to write data.
• the write/erase cycle limitation the manufacturer specifies.
On the flash drive, the smallest space that can be written to is a sector,
which is 512 bytes. However, the smallest space that can be erased is
a block of memory. Unlike magnetic media, an erase cycle is required
for flash memory before a write can be made. The actual block size
varies depending on the overall capacity of the flash drive, for
example, 63 sectors, or 32 K on a 4 GB drive.
When a memory cell fails within a specific sector, the entire block
where the sector resides is marked as bad and removed from use. A
new block from the pool of spares replaces the bad block. The
amount of spare blocks within the pool is determined by the size of
the drive memory. The size of the pool typically falls in the range of 1
to 1.5% of the total drive memory space and is set when initially
formatted.
