Connector Description

Power Connector

The MC-7270-MP-T comes with a 100 to 240 VAC power input, and has another 24 VDC terminal block power input. If power is supplied properly, the Power LED will light up.

Grounding the MC-7270-MP-T

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. There is a ground symbol next to the connector. Connect the EG wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

VGA and DVI-D Outputs

For connecting display monitors, the MC-7270-MP-T comes with a female D-sub 15-pin (DA-15) VGA interface on the rear panel, and has an additional pair of DVI-D interfaces on the rear panel.

Ethernet Ports

The four 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports use RJ45 connectors.

Real Time Clock

The MC-7270-MP-T’s 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 at http://www.moxa.com/rma/about_rma.aspx.

ATTENTION

There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type of battery.

Powering on the MC-7270-MP-T

To power on the MC-7270-MP-T, you may connect a 24 VDC power source to the MC-7270-MP-T’s DC terminal block (located on the rear panel), or plug in the AC power cord. It takes about 30 seconds for the system to boot up. Once the system is ready, the

Power LED will light up. www.moxa.com/support
