Chapter 2 Installation
Required Tools These tools are required for computer installation:
• #2 cross-head screwdriver
• Panel cutout tools
• Antistatic wrist strap
Install the Computer You can install these computers in a panel by using mounting clips. Computers
are mounted through a rectangular cutout in the panel.
Panel Mounting Guidelines
Observe these guidelines when installing the computer in a panel:
• Remove all electrical power from the panel before making the cutout.
• Confirm that there is adequate space behind the panel. For specific
information, refer to
Mounting Clearance Requirements on page 20.
• Cut supporting panels to specifications before installation. Take precautions
so metal cuttings do not enter components already installed in panel.
Supporting panels must be at least 14 gauge for proper sealing against water
and dust and to provide proper support. The mounting hardware supplied
accommodates panel thickness between 1.5…5.5 mm (0.06…0.22 in.).
• Make sure the area around the panel cutout is clear.
Panel Cutout Dimensions
The computers must be mounted to meet the panel cutout dimensions specified
below.
ATTENTION: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in personal
injury or damage to the panel components.
