1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
MXC-6300
The Matrix MXC-6300 provides powerful, fanless, expandable
embedded computing using the new Intel
cessor 2.0 GHz with improved computing performance. The MXC6300 continues the exceptional fanless and cable-free design from
the existing Matrix C series.
The MXC-6300 offers 2x displayports and 1xDVI-I port supporting
three independent displays, 4xUSB3.0 and 2xUSB2.0 ports, and 2
GbE LAN ports with teaming function. The two 2.5” onboard SATA
III ports with High speed SATA 6 Gb/s and RAID 0, 1 maximise
disk read/write performance and data protection in RAID array.
Built-in 16 channel isolated DI/O enables general industrial control. PCI & PCI express (Gen2) expansion slots receive avariety of
PCI, PCIex8, and PCIex16 add-on cards for specific application
platform development operations.
Compared to other industrial PCs, the MXC-6300 is more compact
and reliable with a fanless and cable-free design, with superior
dependability in harsh environments where severe tempe8rature
variation and vibration may occur. The MXC-6300 provides an
optional hot-pluggable fan module to dissipate heat from the
system when high power consumption PCI/PCIe cards are
installed. Innovative mechanical design retains a cable-free structure which dramatically improves thermal stability when PCI/
PCIe cards are installed.

design purposes only. Actual power consumption may differ
NOTE:
NOTE:
A.1 Power Consumption Reference
Power consumption as follows is based on lab data in which 24V
DC is applied and current is measured by the DC power supply.
The power consumption (W) is calculated as the product of
applied voltage (V) and the current (A).
Platforms tested for this data have available external I/O interfaces, and are attached to supported devices such as VGA and
DVI monitors, CFast card, PS2 keyboard/mouse, USB dummy
load (5VDC 500mA), external SATA , COM loopback, and audio
loopback, and an internal hard disk driver is installed.
No internal PCI/PCIe/mini PCIe slots are occupied.
Information is presented for reference only. Actual power consumption will vary with different attached devices and platform
operations.

Appendix B: BIOS Setup
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is a program that provides
a basic level of communication between the processor and
peripherals. In addition, the BIOS also contains codes for various
advanced features applied to the MXC-6300. The BIOS setup
program includes menus for configuring settings and enabling
features of the MXC-6300. Most users do not need to use the
BIOS setup program, as the MXC-6300 ships with default settings
that work well for most configurations.
Enter BIOS setup by selecting DEL when the system is powered
on the POST (Power On Self Test) message is displayed.The
MXC-6300 controller supports one-time Boot Menu allowing
selection of boot device. Enter the Boot Menu by selectiong F7 at
POST.
