Computer Overview
Integrated display industrial computers combine a TFT flat-panel display with
industrial computing power to perform visual interface, maintenance, and basic
information applications. These panel mount devices offer 12-inch displays with
a resistive touch screen and a CompactFlash solid-state drive.
By combining industrially hardened displays and computers in one machine,
these panel-mounted computers provide an entire solution in one chassis and
catalog number. Because there are no external display cables or separate
component-mounting requirements, system integration is simplified.

Chapter 1 Features
Operating Systems
The following Microsoft-licensed operating systems are available:
• Windows 7 Professional (32 bit), Service Pack 1
• Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3
Computers with Windows XP Professional Operating System
• No operating system updates have been applied to the factory image
beyond Service Pack 3.
• The I386 source directory for Microsoft Windows is on the system drive
of your computer off the root directory, C:\I386, for easy removal and
addition of Windows components.
These computers have solid-state drives so they do not contain a recovery
partition. If you need extra drive space, follow these steps:
a. Copy the I386 directory to external media.
b. Delete the I386 directory from C:\I386 for 400 MB of space.
These solid-state drives are customized to accommodate their unique properties
as follows:
• No paging file
• System restore is disabled by default
To obtain a copy of a factory system image, contact your local technical-support
center or access the Rockwell Automation Product Compatibility and Download
Center (PCDC) at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/support/pcdc.page
