Rockwell Automation 6182 Industrial Computer for the Windows CE Operating System - Manual (Page 59)

Initial Operation and Setup
This chapter provides information on:
• operating recommendations
• boot-up sequence
• system reset
Rockwell Automation recommends that you not operate the RAC6182
Industrial Computer with covers removed. An electrical shock hazard
exists. In addition, removing the covers disrupts air flow and may result
in overheating. All covers are required to maintain EMI compliance.
Operator access is limited to the front panel of the RAC6182 Industrial
Computer. This includes the display, keypad, and touchscreen. Access
to components behind the rack or panel in which the RAC6182 Industrial
Computer is installed is restricted to authorized and properly trained
personnel.
To boot up the system:
1. Install the RAC6182 Industrial Computer using the procedures in the
following chapters:
Chapter 2, Installation
Chapter 3, Connecting External Devices
Chapter 4, Adding/Removing Internal Components.
2. Apply power. The RAC6182 Industrial Computer performs a Power
On Self Test (POST) in which it tests the internal hardware and
software integrity. The display is not immediately activated during
the POST. If any failures occur, the Fault LED is turned on and the
boot process is terminated.
3. Upon successful completion of the POST, the RAC6182 Industrial
Computer loads the Microsoft Windows CE operating system from
flash ROM into RAM. The Desktop is displayed and any
applications configured for auto-start are started.
