Removable Storage Trays

The MC-7270-DC-CP-T computer has a removable storage de vice
tray on the front panel. You may inst all an SSD storage drive for
storage expansion. In addition, an inter nal SATA expans ion slot for
additional driv es is also availa ble on the bottom of the computer.
You may install either a hard disk drive or an SSD in the storage
expansion slot; however, for high-vibration environments, Moxa
recommends using an SSD for greater system stability. To
increase system safety, use a hex-type screwdriver to lock the
front panel’s removable tray in place.

Power ON/OFF Swi tch

The Power ON/OFF switch functions like the Power button on the
front panel of the MC-7270-DC-CP-T. The Power ON/OFF switch
enables you to turn the MC-7270-DC-CP-T on or off remotely from
a cabinet control desk.

To use the Power ON/OFF switch, connect a 2-pin termina l block to
the switch. We recommend that you use a tactile switch instead of
a push button switch.

USB Hosts

The MC-7270-DC-CP-T has six USB 2.0 full speed hosts that use a
type A connector. The port supports keyboard and mouse, and can
also be used to connect a FlashDisk for storing large amounts of
data.

Audio Interface

The MC-7270-DC-CP-T comes with an audio input and an audio
output, allowing users to connect a speaker or an earphone.

Real-time Clock

The MC-7270-DC-CP-T’s real-tim e clock is power ed 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 o f explosion if the battery is replaced wit h an
unapproved type of battery.

Powering on the MC-7270-DC-CP-T

To turn on the MC-7270-DC-CP-T, connect a 24 VDC power source
to the DC terminal block on the MC-7270-DC-CP-T. After you
connect the power source, the computer automatically starts. You
do not need to press the Power button.

It takes up to 30 seconds for the MC-7270-DC-CP-T to complete
the boot process. When the system is ready, the Power LED turns
steady on.
