Connect Power
The computer connects to either a 100…240V AC or 9…36V DC power source,
depending on the model.
Operate the computer in an industrial or control room environment, which uses
some form of power isolation from the public low-voltage mains.
Connect AC Power
A grounded, 3-prong IEC60320-C13 power cord provides power to the
computer. The power supply input accepts 100…240V AC and is autoranging.
Follow these steps to connect the computer to an AC power source.
1.
Connect the power cord to the AC power input (A).
2.
Secure the power cord in place with the retention clip (B).
ATTENTION:
When connecting power to the computer for the first time, the
following actions occur:
•
The default BIOS setting automatically starts the computer after it is plugged
into a power source.
•
You must read and accept an End User Setup procedure for computers with a
Windows operating system (requires an external display).
Do not disconnect power from the system until after the Windows Setup
procedure is completed. Disconnecting power during this procedure can result
in a corrupted system image.
ATTENTION:
Supply the computer circuit with its own disconnect. Use an
uninterruptible power source (UPS) to protect against unexpected power failure
or power surges.
Always shut down the Windows operating system before disconnecting power to
the computer to minimize performance degradation and operating system failures.
TIP
If using an alternate IEC60320 cord, make sure the female end of the cord is
sized appropriately for the retention clip.
