Required Tools
These tools are required for computer installation:
• #2 cross-head screwdriver
• Panel cutout tools (for panel mounting)
• Drill motor and drill bit (for wall mounting)
• Antistatic wrist strap
Install the Computer
The computers support the following mounting options:
• Panel mount (display computer models)
• Wall mount (non-display computer models)
Panel Mounting Guidelines
Observe these guidelines when installing the computer in a panel:
• Remove all electrical power from the panel before making the cutout.
• Confirm that there is adequate space behind the panel. For specific
information, see Mounting Clearance Requirements
on page 22.
•
Cut support panels to specifications before installation. Take precautions so
metal cuttings do not enter components that are already installed in the panel.
Support panels must be at least 14 gauge for proper sealing against water and
dust, and to provide proper support. The supplied mounting hardware
accommodates panel thickness between 14…8 gauge or 1.6…4.2 mm
(0.063…0.165 in.).
• Make sure the area around the panel cutout is clear.
Panel Cutout Dimensions
Included with the shipped computer is 6181P and 6181X Industrial Computers

The computers must be mounted to meet the following panel cutout dimensions.
ATTENTION: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in personal
injury or damage to the panel components.
