Installation Guidelines
CRITICAL WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present within the PC chassis and power supply. All installation and maintenance procedures must be performed by qualified personnel only. Ensure the unit is completely de-energized and locked out (LOTO) before opening the enclosure or connecting/disconnecting any cables.
-
1
De-energize the target rack cabinet and verify the absence of voltage before beginning installation.
-
2
Securely mount the IPC into a standard 19-inch equipment rack using all four mounting points. Ensure adequate clearance for ventilation at the front and rear of the unit as specified by the manufacturer.
-
3
Connect a protective earth (PE) conductor to the designated grounding point on the chassis. This connection is mandatory for safety.
-
4
Connect all required peripheral devices, including monitors (DVI-D or DisplayPort), keyboard/mouse (USB or PS/2), and network cables (RJ45).
-
5
Connect the provided AC power cord to the industrial power supply unit and to a suitable, protected power source.
-
6
Power on the unit and verify that the operating system boots correctly and that all connected peripherals are recognized.
