must be used only indoors, and USB cables must be less than 3 m (9.84 ft) long.

Grounding and Bonding

Whenever two connected pieces of equipment are far apart, it is possible that

their ground connections could be at different potential levels.

To overcome these possible spikes, the following bonding methods can help

prevent electrical energizing by routing voltage spikes safely to earth ground:

• Method 1: Connect the data cable shields to the equipotential bonding

rail on both sides before you connect the cable to the interfaces.

• Method 2: Use an equipotential bonding cable (16 mm

or 6 AWG) to

connect the grounds between this VersaView 6300B box PC or 6300T

thin client and a connected monitor.

Connect DC Power

Operate the box PC or box thin client in an industrial or control room

environment, which uses some form of power isolation from the public,

low-voltage mains.

All VersaView DC powered models require a safety extra low voltage (SELV)

(1)

power supply per UL. The power supply is internally protected against reverse

polarity.

To minimize ground loop currents and noise, Allen-Bradley recommends that

DC powered models use only one grounded connection. See Install the Ground

Wire for the ground connection on these models.

Follow these steps to connect the computer to a DC power source.

Install the Ground Wire

1. Turn off the main power switch or breaker.

2. Remove the supplied nut, eyelet terminal, and washers from the

ground screw.

3. For earth ground, fasten a 2.5 mm

(14 AWG) or larger external wire to

the eyelet terminal.

Use a ground wire with an insulation color that is approved by local

inspection authority.

4. Install the ground wire to the ground screw in the following sequence.

5. Tighten the nut to the ground screw.

ATTENTION: When you connect power to the thin client or computer for the first

time, these actions occur:

• The default UEFI setting automatically starts the computer after it is plugged into a

power source.

• For VersaView 6300B box PCs with a Microsoft Windows operating system (OS), you

must read and accept an End User Setup procedure.

Do not disconnect power from the system until after the Windows Setup

procedure is completed. If power is disconnected during this procedure, it can

result in a corrupted system image.

ATTENTION: For VersaView 6300B box PCs with a Windows OS, perform the

following:

• Supply the computer with its own disconnect. Use an uninterruptible power source

(UPS) to help protect against unexpected power failure or power surges.

• Always shut down the Windows OS before you disconnect power to the computer to

minimize performance degradation and operating system failures.

(1) Where SELV is as defined in IEC 61010-2-201.
