Chapter 2 Installation Chapter Objective This chapter describes installation of the 6155 Computer. European Union Compliance The 6155 Computer meets the European Union Directive requirements when installed within the European Union or EEA regions and has the CE mark. A copy of the Declaration of Conformity is available at the Rockwell Automation / Allen-Bradley Internet site: www.ab.
2-2 Bulletin 6155 Industrial Computer To install a Bulletin 6155 computer in your rack: 1. Refer to the physical dimension drawings for your unit (Figure 1, page 1-2) to confirm that there is adequate space behind the panel where the unit is mounted. Remember to allow extra space for air circulation. 2. Install the rack slides in the rack cabinet. 3. Carefully remove the computer from its packaging. 4. Attach the rack slides to the unit, and align to the mating slide inside the cabinet. 5.
Bulletin 6155 Industrial Computer Installing Cables 2-3 You will need to connect a number of cables at the rear of the unit before your Industrial Computer will function. This section describes the cable connections you will need to make. While installing cables, be sure to keep the following points in mind. • Connect the cables according to the options in your Industrial Computer. • Route and secure the cables.

Chapter 3 Initial Operation and Setup Chapter Objective This chapter provides information on: • Operating recommendations • Boot-up sequence • System reset and power on/off buttons • Universal Serial Bus (USB) Operating Recommendations We recommend the following operating guidelines for the 6155 Computer: • Avoid turning the system on and off frequently. • Never turn the system off when the hard drive indicator light is illuminated.
3-2 Bulletin 6155 Industrial Computer System Checkout To boot up the system: 1. Apply power to the computer. The 6155 Computer performs a Power On Self Test (POST) in which it tests the processor board, memory, keyboard, and certain peripheral devices. 2. The 6155 Computer displays the progress of the POST and initialization of accessory devices. 3. If your system does not boot up, or you notice other problems, refer to Chapter 5, System Troubleshooting. 4.
Chapter 4 Installing/Removing Memory Modules Chapter Objective This chapter describes how to add RAM Memory to the 6155 Computer processor board.
4-2 Bulletin 6155 Industrial Computer Safety Precautions Internal 6155 Computer components may be damaged by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Make sure you wear a grounding strap whenever handling circuit boards, memory modules or other internal components. ATTENTION: Wear a wrist strap (well grounded) and perform work in a static-safe environment. Electrostatic discharge can damage the 6155 Computer and components.
Chapter 5 System Troubleshooting Chapter Objective This chapter describes the most common operating problems, the probable causes, and recommended corrective actions including: • Troubleshooting procedure • Troubleshooting checklists • Boot-up error messages • General error and information messages Troubleshooting Procedures To help identify and isolate a problem, we recommend that you do the following when a problem occurs: 1. Disconnect power to the 6155 Computer. 2.
5-2 Bulletin 6155 Industrial Computer Troubleshooting Check Lists The following are checklists of items that you may have overlooked. If you are having problems during boot-up: Are all connections secure? Are the device drivers installed? Are the jumpers on any add-in boards correctly positioned? Is the hard drive formatted and set up in the BIOS? Is the RAM memory (DIMM) properly installed? You may want to re-install it to ensure a good connection.
Bulletin 6155 Industrial Computer 5-3 If there is a problem running new software: Does the software have a hardware requirement that is not present? Are you using an authorized copy of the software? Some copies of software will not work without proper activation. Did the software install correctly? Re-install the software. Are you following the software's instructions? Refer to the software vendor's user manual.
5-4 Bulletin 6155 Industrial Computer If the hard drive active LED indicator does not come on when the hard drive is being accessed: Check the EIDE cable connections to the drive. Check BIOS Setup for proper configuration. Is drive enabled? Check the connections on the I/O board. Reboot the 6155 Computer. If the Power On LED indicator does not come on: Check the front panel connector on the processor board. Check the power cord. Check the connections on the I/O board.
Chapter 6 Maintenance Chapter Objective This chapter describes routine maintenance procedures. Cleaning the Chassis Fan Filters Clean the chassis fan filters at least once a month under normal conditions. You may need to clean the filters more frequently if the 6155 Computer is located in an area with high levels of dust. Important: You must clean the chassis fan filters properly to maintain the thermal integrity of the 6155 Computer.
6-2 Bulletin 6155 Industrial Computer Replacing the Battery The 6155 Computer contains a battery to maintain the CMOS settings and real-time clock. The battery is located in a battery holder on the motherboard. Replace this battery as needed with an identical replacement. ATTENTION: There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
