Panel Mounting
A panel-mounting kit consisting of 6 mounting units is provided in the MPC-2070 package. For details on the dimensions and the cabinet space required to panel mount the MPC-2070, refer to the following illustration
To install the panel-mounting kit on the MPC-2070, place the mounting units in
the holes provided on the rear panel and push the units to the left as shown
in the illustration below: 
Use a torque of 4Kgf-cm to secure the
mounting screws to fasten the panel-mounting kit onto the wall.
VESA Mounting
The MPC-2070 is provided with VESA-mounting holes on the back panel, which you can use directly without the need for an adapter. The dimension of the VESA mounting area is 50 x 75 mm. You will require four M4 x 6 mm screws to VESA mount the MPC-2070.
Display-Control Buttons
The MPC-2070 is provided with two display-control buttons on the right panel.
The usage of the display-control buttons is described in the following table:
ATTENTION
The MPC-2070 Series comes with a 1000-nit display, the brightness level of
which is adjustable up to level 10. The display is optimized for use in the
-40 to 70°C temperature range. However, if you are operating the MPC-2070 at
an ambient temperature of 60°C or higher, we recommend setting the brightness
level of the display to 8 or less to extend the lifetime of the display.
Connector Description
DC Power Input
The MPC-2070 uses a DC power input. To connect the power source to the 2-pin
terminal block, use a 60 W power adapter. The terminal block is available in
the accessories package.
Serial Ports
The MPC-2070 offers two software-selectable RS-232/422/485 serial ports
over a DB9 connector.

USB Ports
Two USB 2.0 ports are available on the bottom panel. Use these ports to
connect mass storage drives and other peripherals.
DIO Port
The MPC-2070 is provided with a DIO port, which is a 10-pin terminal block
that includes 4 DIs and 4 DOs
Installing a CFast or SD Card
MPC-2070 provides two storage options—CFast and SD card. The storage slots are
located on the left panel. You can install the OS on the CFast card and save
your data into the SD card. For a list of compatible CFast models, check the
MPC-2070 component compatibility report available on Moxa’s website.
To install the storage devices, do the following:
-
Remove the 2 screws holding the storage-slot cover to the MPC-2070.
-
Insert the CFast or SD card into the slot using the push-push mechanism.
-
Reattach the cover and secure it with screws.
Real-Time Clock
The real-time clock (RTC) is powered by a lithium battery. We strongly
recommend that you do not replace the lithium battery without help from a
qualified Moxa support engineer. If you need to change the battery, contact
the Moxa RMA service team. The contact details are available at:
http://www.moxa.com/rma/about_rma.aspx
ATTENTION
There is a risk of explosion if the clock’s lithium battery is replaced with
an incompatible battery.
Powering On/Off the MPC-2070
Connect a Terminal Block to Power Jack Converter to the MPC-2070 terminal
block and connect a 60 W power adapter to the converter. Supply power through
the power adapter. After you have connected a power source, press the Power
button to turn the computer on. It takes about 10 to 30 seconds for the system
to boot up.
To power off the MPC-2070, we recommend using the “shut down” function
provided by the OS installed on the MPC. If you use the Power button, you may
enter one of the following states depending on the power management settings
in the OS: standby, hibernation, or system shutdown mode. If you encounter
problems, you can press and hold the Power button for 4 seconds to force a
hard shutdown of the system.
Grounding the MPC-2070 Series
Proper grounding and wire routing help to limit the effects of noise from
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground
screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power source.
