Commissioning

To be able to use the industrial PC, you must first commission it. The first step is to transport the device to is
operating location and unpack it. This is followed by installing the device in the 19-inch rack, connecting the
cables and the power supply and finally switching on the industrial PC.
4.1

Transport and unpacking

Note the specified transport and storage conditions (see Chapter 9 Technical data [} 50]).
Despite the robust design of the unit, the components are sensitive to strong vibrations and impacts.
Transporting a 19-inch rack with a built-in PC can result in excessive impact on the industrial PC. During
transport the device must therefore be protected from excessive mechanical stress. Appropriate packaging
of the industrial PC, in particular the original packaging, can improve the vibration resistance during
transport.
Hardware damage due to condensation
Unfavorable weather conditions during transport can cause damage to the device.
• Protect the device against moisture (condensation) during transport in cold weather or in case of
extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Do not put the device into operation until it has slowly adjusted to the room temperature.
• Should condensation occur, wait for about 12 hours before switching the device on.
Unpacking
Proceed as follows to unpack the unit:
1. Remove packaging.
2. Keep the packaging for possible future transport.
3. Check your delivery for completeness by comparing it with your order.
4. Check the contents for visible shipping damage.
5. In case of discrepancies between the package contents and the order, or in case of transport damage,
please inform Beckhoff Service (see Chapter 10.1 Service and Support [} 51]).
