ATTENTION
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.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your
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.
Wiring Requirements
This section describes how to connect peripheral devices to the embedded computer.
You should read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any
electronic device:
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
• It is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.
Connecting the Power
Connect the 24 to 110 VDC power line with M12 connector to the V2406C computer. If the power is supplied
properly, the Ready LED will glow a solid green after a 25 to 30 second delay.

4. BIOS Setup
In this chapter, we describe the V2406C computer’s BIOS settings. The BIOS is a set of input/output control
routines for peripherals. The BIOS is used to initialize basic peripherals and help boot the operating system
before the operating system is loaded. The BIOS setup allows the user to modify the system configurations of
these input/output peripherals. The configuration settings are stored in the CMOS RAM, which receives power
from a backup battery when the computer is not receiving power from an external power source. The system
information is retained even after the system reboots or the power is disconnected.

RAID
Set HDC configuration as “Intel RST Premium” to enable redundant array of inexpensive disks technology. The
V2406C has three SATA interfaces, which only supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and Recovery.
Recovery utilizes RAID 1 (mirroring) functionality to copy data from a designated master drive to a designated
recovery drive. The master drive data can be copied to the recovery drive either continuously or on request.
When using the continuous update policy, changes made to the data on the master drive while the system is
not docked are automatically copied to the recovery drive when the system is re-docked. When using the on
request update policy, the master drive data can be restored to a previous state by copying the data on the
recovery drive back to the master drive.

Upgrading the BIOS
This section describes how to upgrade the BIOS. However, note that it is easy to permanently damage the
computer when upgrading the BIOS. We strongly recommend that you contact Moxa’s technical support staff
for assistance in order to obtain all the necessary tools and the most current advice before attempting to
upgrade the BIOS on any Moxa device.
Step 1: Create a Bootable USB Disk
Before upgrading the BIOS, every user should first create a bootable USB drive as a system boot device.
1. Search “format”, then select Create and format hard disk partitions.
V2406C Hardware BIOS Setup
4-25
2. Right click on the USB disk then select “Format”.
3. Select “FAT32”, and click OK to start formatting.
Step 2: Prepare the Upgrade File
You must use the BIOS upgrade installation file to upgrade the BIOS. Contact Moxa’s technical department for
assistance.
1. Get the BIOS upgrade file; it includes an efi folder and a file xxxx.efi.
2. Copy efi folder and xxxx.efi file to the Bootable USB Disk.
V2406C Hardware BIOS Setup
4-26
Step 3: Run the upgrade program on the Computer
1. Reboot the computer, and press F2 while booting up to go to the Boot Manager. If BIOS cannot recognize
the USB drive as the boot devices, the USB drive could have no partition table. Use windows command line
tool diskpart to rebuild the partition table.
2. Select the USB Disk
3. Screen will switch to the SHELL environment, type fs0: then, go to the directory where the upgrade file is
located, and type xxxxxx.efi (the name is based on the upgrade file you get from Moxa).
4. The upgrade program will run automatically. Wait patiently until the procedure is finished.

ATTENTION
Do NOT switch off the power supply during the BIOS upgrade, since doing so may cause the system to crash.
5. When the upgrade is finished, the computer will automatically reboot. You may check BIOS version on the
Main page
6. If the system has more than one boot device, you will see more than one fsx (x represents the number).
7. Go each fsx (x means number), then type ls to view the content of the boot device. If find the upgrade file,
execute it
