Installation

Unpacking and checking delivery contents
– Check packaging for transport damage.
– Carefully remove the packaging to avoid causing damage.
Keep the original packaging for future transport.
Keep the documents supplied.

– Check the contents of the packaging for visible transport damage.
– Check the contents for completeness on the basis of the delivery

Storage and transport

During storage and transport, observe the permissible limit values specified in the “General” section of the “Technical data” chapter.
Especially in cold weather and in case of extreme temperature differences, ensure that moisture does not condense on or in the device (dew).
– Protect the device from excessive mechanical stress. Suitable packaging improves its resistance to vibrations during transport.
– When transporting the individual device, use the original packaging, incl. all shock-absorbing elements, or comparable packaging!

Installation

The Prime Box Performance is not suitable for outdoor operation.
The following points must be observed to ensure trouble-free operation of the Prime Box Performance and to avoid damage.
– When installing the Prime Box Performance, observe chapter “4 Technical data

Temperature

• Before commissioning:
  – Slowly adjust the device to the room temperature.
  – In case of condensation, do not start up the device until it is completely dry.

• Prevent overheating during operation:
  – Do not expose the device to direct irradiation from a heat source, such as sunlight.

• Only operate the device within the temperature range specified in chapter “4 Technical data” on page 16.

Ventilation

• Cooling concept
  • The processor is cooled purely passively via free convection, i.e. neither CPU nor system fans are used.
  • The CPU as well as all power semiconductors of the power supply are connected to the heat sink of the computer housing via heatspreader and heatpipes.
• A ventilation grille is provided on the rear to allow air exchange with the surrounding air. The heat generated on the inside is mainly dissipated to the circulating air via the large-area heat sink of the computer housing.
• A space of 50 mm is to be kept free above, below and to the side of the device for free air convection.
  

Installation position and mounting

• The Prime Box Performance PC is designed for vertical wall mounting. Pay attention to the correct orientation
  during installation; do not install the device upside down – see illustration below.

• The device is mounted by means of 2 mounting plates on the rear of the housing in vertical position.
  – Use 2 M6 bolts each to install the mounting plates at the top and bottom.
  Apply a torque of 7.5 Nm when tightening the M6 bolts.

• For dimensions, see chapter “4 Technical data” on page 16.

The mounting wall on which the Prime Box Performance-PC is mounted must be able to support four times the weight of the device.

Connection, commissioning and operation

Establishing operational readiness

Interference-free connections for trouble-free operation When connecting peripheral devices, use shielded bus and LAN cables with shielded connectors to meet EMC requirements.
If possible, screw or lock the plug connections as this will improve electrical shielding
Signal lines must not be routed in the same cable duct as power lines.
Check all cable connections before commissioning the system.
Make sure that all voltages and signals comply with the required value

Safe discharge of electrical interference
Connect the device and control cabinet to a central grounding point using the shortest possible path.
To ensure safe operation of the Prime Box Performance-PC in the application, make sure that the connection (functional earth) between the device and the control cabinet is as low impedance as possible.
In this context, be sure to also observe the Merkblatt “Erdungskonzept” in the ANLAGE at the end of this operating manual..

Only qualified personnel may open the Prime Box Performance-PC.
Open the device only when it is de-energy.

Emitted interference
Industrial environment according to EN 61000-6-4
This device may cause radio interference in residential areas; in this case, the operator may be required to implement appropriate measures.

Electrostatic discharge
All assemblies and components are ESD sensitive.
The ESD instructions must be observed.
Avoid touching electrostatically sensitive components (e.g. connector pins).
Discharge your body electrostatically before touching the device (e.g. by touching a grounded metallic object).

Expanding the Prime Box Performance

Limitation of liability
The devices are supplied with a specific hardware and software configuration according to the respective application.
No liability can be assumed in the event of changes to the hardware or software that go beyond the documented possibilities, or in the event of improper use of the components.

Precautionary measures

Electronic components are very sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Precautionary measures must therefore be taken when handling the assemblies. These can be found in the guidelines for electrostatically sensitive components (ESD guidelines).

– Disconnect the Prime Box Performance from the power supply before connecting or disconnecting components or expansion modules.
– Wear a grounding strap when handling components.
– Before plugging in the cables, the static charge of the technician and that of the Prime Box Performance must be brought to the same potential. To do this, briefly touch the metal housing.
– Discharge electrostatic charge from your tools before using them.
– Leave components and expansion modules in their packaging until they are installed.
– Do not touch the pins and conductors of components and expansion modules.
– Never operate the Prime Box Performance with the housing open.

Preconditions
The devices from Schubert System Elektronik GmbH feature peripheral interfaces that can be used to connect various components.

When using commercially available peripheral devices (e.g. at the USB port), please note that their EMC interference immunity is often designed for office use.
However, they are not suitable for operation in an industrial environment!
For process operation, devices that are connected must have the CE mark.
When connecting peripheral devices, ensure that they are suitable for industrial use!
Do not plug in or out any plugs during operation!

Opening and closing the device again

Damage to the device.
To avoid damage to the device, perform the following before opening it:
– Shut down the operating system.
– Disconnect the power supply.
Risk of burns from hot surfaces
Heat sinks and heat pipes on the inside can still be very hot even after the device has been turned off:
– Allow the device to cool down before opening it.

Replacing the buffer battery

Fire and explosion hazard of the battery.

• The battery may explode if not handled according to instructions!
• Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire!
• The lithium battery may only be replaced by a type approved by the manufacturer.

The buffer battery is located on a battery carrier in the computer housing.

When the battery is replaced, the configuration data of the device is deleted.
Take note of the current BIOS setup settings.
Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

– Open the housing as described in section “Gerät öffnen und wieder schließen”.
– To access the battery, it may be necessary to first remove the expansion cards plugged into the slots of the PCIe bus adapters and then reinstall them after changing the battery.

Removing the buffer battery
The battery is held in its socket by a clamp.
– Push the clamp to the side, e.g. with a thin slotted screwdriver. Be careful not to bend this clamp when removing the battery, as a bent clamp can no longer hold the battery in its socket. The battery is pressed out of the socket by the underlying spring.

Installing the buffer battery

– Insert the new buffer battery into the socket with “+” facing upwards. To do this, first insert the buffer battery on the side opposite the clamp under the holders.
– Then press the buffer battery down until the clamp fixes the buffer battery in the socket.

Dispose of the product in accordance with the applicable national regulations.
The device is dismounted and completely disassembled:

• Metal and plastic parts can be recycled accordingly.
• Electronic components must be disposed of in accordance with the national regulation.
