Installing the MC4510-C23
Wall or Cabinet Mounting
The MC-4510-C23 has been pre-installed with two brackets on both ends of the computer. Use two screws per side to attach the MC-4510-C23 to a wall or cabinet.
Step 1: Use two screws for each bracket and attach the bracket to the rear of the MC-4510-C23.

Wiring Requirements
This section describes how to connect serial devices to the embedded computer.
You should read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any electronic device: y Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring together with power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately. y Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together. y Keep input wiring and output wiring separate. y It is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.

MC-4510-C23 HW User’s Manual Hardware Connection Description
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your MC-4510-C23.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal components generate heat, and consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.
Connecting the Power
The MC-4510-C23 offers 18 to 36 VDC power input with the terminal block. If the power is supplied properly, the Power LED will light up. The OS is ready when the Ready LED glows a solid green.
Grounding the MC-4510-C23
Grounding and write routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference
(EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
EG: See the figure shown below for the location of the Earth Ground on the terminal block power connector.
Connect the EG wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface.

BIOS Setup
This chapter describes the BIOS settings of the MC-4510-C23 computer. The BIOS is a set of input/output control routines for peripherals. The BIOS is used to initialize basic peripherals and helps boot the operating system before the operating system is loaded. The BIOS setup allows the user to modify the system configurations of these basic input/output peripherals. All of the configurations will be stored in the battery backed up CMOS RAM, which retainsthe system information after system reboots or the power is removed.

Modifying the BIOS Main Settings
Basic Configuration
After entering the BIOS Setup, or choosing the “Main” option, the BIOS main menu will be displayed. Use this menu to check the basic system information such as memory and IDE hard drive. You can also use the menu for configuring basic system parameters, such as date, time, hard drive, display, and system security.
System Security
To set up system security, select the “Security” option under “Main” to bring up the following screen.
This menu includes two options: “Set Password” and “Security Option.”
When you select the Set Password option, a pop-up “Enter Password:” window will appear on the screen. The password that you type will replace the password stored in the CMOS memory. You will be required to confirm the new password. Just re-type the password and then press <Enter>.
You may also press <Enter> to abort the selection and not enter a password.
To clear an existing password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password.
A message will show up confirming that the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter the “BIOS Setup Menu” without entering a password.
Once a password has been set, you will be prompted to enter the password each time you enter
Setup. This prevents unauthorized persons from changing any part of your system configuration.
In addition, when a password setting is enabled, you can set up the BIOS to request a password each time the system is booted up. The “Security Option” setting determines when a password prompt is required. If the “Security Option” is set to “System,” the password must be entered both at boot up and when entering the BIOS Setup Menu. If the password is set for “Setup,” the password prompt only occurs when you enter the “BIOS Setup Menu.”

Upgrading the BIOS
This section describes how to upgrade the BIOS. However, please note that upgrading the BIOS involves high risk of damage to your computer. We strongly recommend that you contact Moxa’s
TS staff for assistance and obtain all necessary tools and files before attempting to upgrade.
Step 1: Create a Bootable USB Disk.
We suggest you use the HP USB Disk Format Tool to create a bootable USB disk. You may download this tool from the Internet. Search the Internet using the phrase “HP USB Disk Storage
Format Tool”, and then download the tool from one of the listed websites.
You will also need to download the FreeDos system files kernel.sys and command.com from http://www.freedos.org/kernel/.
1. Copy DOS system files kernel.sys and command.com to a specified directory (C:\FreeDOS in this example).
2. Start the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool and select the USB device that you want to use as a bootable disk in the Device drop down box.
3. Select FAT in the File system drop down box.
4. Type the disk name in the Volume label field.
5. Check the option Create a DOS startup disk under format options.
6. Specify the directory of the system files (for example, C:\FreeDOS).
7. Click Start to format and create the USB disk.

MC-4510-C23 HW User’s Manual BIOS Setup
ATTENTION
We suggest you use a USB drive with under 2 GB in disk space, as larger USB drives may not support FAT file format and consequently fail to boot.
Step 2: Prepare the Upgrade Tool and BIOS Binary File.
You must use the BIOS upgrade installation file to upgrade the BIOS. You can download it from the Moxa Download Center at: http://web4.moxa.com/support/download_center.asp
1. Get the BIOS upgrade installation file. The file name should have following format:
451010.s02.
2. Copy the file to the Bootable USB Disk.
3. Double click to extract the BIOS update installation file. The file includes a binary file in the form s451010.s02 and the upgrade utility named awdflash.exe.
Step 3: Set up the BIOS to Boot from the USB Disk.
1. Insert the USB disk.
2. Power on and press DEL to enter the BIOS Setup menu.
3. Select Advanced Æ Hard Disk Boot Priority and then press Enter.
4. From the Setup menu, use “↑” or “↓” to select the USB device.
5. Press “+” to move it up to the first priority, and press “Esc” to exit the setup menu.

6. Make sure the first boot device is Hard Disk. If it isn’t, press Enter to change it.
BIOS Setup
7. Select Exit Æ Save & Exit Setup and then press Enter.
8. Choose Y to save to the CMOS and then exit.
Step 4: Run awdflash.exe to upgrade the BIOS.
1. While in the BIOS Setup menu and before upgrading the BIOS, you may choose to save the old BIOS files to a specific location. Type Y to do so, or N to begin the upgrade.
2. If the BIOS Setup is correct, it will restart and boot from the USB disk.
3. Run awdflash 451010.s02 from the command line to upgrade the BIOS. Replace xxxxxxx.Sxx with the BIOS binary file name discussed in Step 2.
4. Press F1 to reset the system after the bios update is complete. The system should reboot at this time.

5. Please note that once the BIOS is successfully upgraded, the default BIOS values will be automatically loaded. However, if you wish to re-configure the BIOS settings, press DEL while booting.
ATTENTION
Do NOT switch off the power supply during the BIOS upgrade, since doing so may cause the system to crash.
