DA-820C Series Introduction
Overview
The DA-820C computer’s main operating system is based on the Intel® Core™ i3, i5, i7 or Xeon CPU. The
computer comes with 3 display ports (2 x HDMI + 1 x VGA), 5 USB ports, 4 Gigabit LAN ports, 2 3-in-1
RS-232/422/485 serial ports, 6 digital input ports and 2 digital output ports. The DA-820C is equipped with 4
hot-swappable 2.5” HDD/SSD slots and supports Intel® RST RAID 0/1/5/10 functionality. In addition, the
DA-820C comes with 5 standard PCI/PCIe slots, allowing users to install various peripheral interface
expansions modules.
With IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 compliance, the DA-820C is sure to deliver stable and reliable system
operation for power applications. The DA-820C also complies with the IEC 60255 standards, which cover the
protection of electrical relays in a smart substation. IEC 60255 is one of the most widely used standards for
testing relays and protection equipment, and compliance with the standard ensures that the DA-820C will work
reliably and seamlessly with IEDs as part of a robust substation automation system.
EN 50121-4 compliance confirms that the DA-820C can deliver stable and reliable system operations in rail
wayside applications, such as station SCADA systems, wayside disaster prevention, traction power, and
signaling and safety systems to provide an integrated view of your smart rail setup.
This robust, rack-mountable design provides the hardened protection needed for industrial environment
applications.

Wiring Requirements
The following common safety precautions should be observed before installing any electronic device:
• Power wires and communication/signal wires should be routed through separate paths. If power and
communication/signal wires must cross paths, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection
point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid
interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
• Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be bundled together and
which kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that carries similar electrical signals can be bundled
together.
• When necessary, we strongly advise labeling the wiring for all devices in the system.

The DA-820C provides dual power inputs using a terminal block, which is located on the rear panel. Connect the
power cord wires to the screws, and then tighten the screws. The Power LED will light up to indicate that power
is being supplied to the DA-820C, after which the BIOS will initialize the flash disk module, causing the Storage
LED to blink. It should take about 30 to 60 seconds for the operating system to complete the boot up process.

3. BIOS Setup
This chapter describes the BIOS settings of the DA-820C computer. The BIOS is a set of input/output control
routines for peripherals, and is used to initialize system peripherals before the operating system is loaded. The
BIOS setup allows the user to modify the system configurations of these peripherals’ basic input/output.

RAID
Set HDC configuration as “Intel RST Premium” to enable redundant array of inexpensive disks technology. The
DA-820 supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 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 RAM drive as a system rescue device.
1. Search “format”, then select Create and format hard disk partitions.
DA-820C Series BIOS Setup
3-29
2. Right click on the USB disk then select “Format”.
3. Select “FAT32”, and click OK to start formatting.
4. After formatting the USB disk, download the “Shell.efi”.
5. Link to “https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/branches
6. As below path, download the “Shell.efi” then rename to “bootX64.efi”.
”, select the latest branch.

3-30
7. Copy the “bootX64.efi” to USB disk \efi\boot\bootX64.efi (Note: The folder should be created by absolute
path as below).
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. The file extension should be xxxx.efi
2. Copy the file to the Bootable USB Disk.
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.
2. Select the USB Disk
DA-820C Series BIOS Setup
3-31
3. Screen will be going into the SHELL environment, type fs0: then, go to the directory where the upgrade file
is located, 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.
5. When the upgrade is finished, the computer will automatically reboot. You may check BIOS version on the
Main page
6. If the system have more than one boot device, you will see more than one fsx (x means number)
DA-820C Series BIOS Setup
3-32
ATTENTION
Do NOT switch off the power supply during the BIOS upgrade, since doing so may cause the system to crash.
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
A. Safety Installation Instructions
ATTENTION
There is a risk of explosion if the wrong type of battery is used. To avoid this potential danger, always
be sure to use the correct type of battery. Contact the Moxa RMA service team if you need to replace
your battery.
Caution
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries
according to the instructions on the battery.
A. RTC Battery Warning
B. Fuse Warning
A
CAUTION: For continued protection against fire, replace only with the same type and rating of fuse.
C. Rackmount Warning
The following or similar rackmount instructions are included with the installation instructions:
(1) Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
(2) Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
(3) Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
(4) Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
(5) Reliable Grounding: Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., by
using power strips).
