Chapter 2 Installation
3. Secure the DC power wires to the correct terminal-block screws, and the
DC ground wire to the GND terminal screw.
Torque the terminal screws to 0.687 N•m (6.1 lb•in).
4. Apply 18…32V DC power to the computer.
Functional Ground Screw The pre-installed functional ground
screw is not required for safety or
regulatory compliance. However, if
a supplemental ground is desired,
use the functional ground screw in
the I/O port panel of the computer.
If using the functional ground screw,
connect the computer to earth
ground by using a 1.5 mm
2
(16 AWG) or larger external wire.
Use a ground wire with green
insulation and a yellow stripe for easy identification.
Connect to a Network The computers connect to an Ethernet network by using CAT5 or CAT5e
twisted-pair Ethernet cabling with RJ45 connectors.

IMPORTANT To prevent performance degradation of Ethernet communication, do not
subject the computer or cables to extreme radiation or conducted
high-frequency noise.
Proper cable routing and power conditioning is required for reliable Ethernet
communication in industrial environments. We recommend that you route all
Ethernet cabling through dedicated metal conduits. Installing ferrite bead
filters at the cable ends can also improve reliability.
