1. Introduction

The MPC-2000 series of panel computers features advanced Intel processors—3rd generation Ivy Bridge Core
or Celeron—matched with 4 GB of system memory, delivering a reliable, high-performance platform of wi de
versatility for use in industrial marine environments. With its RS-232/422/485 serial, NMEA 0183, and Gigabit
Ethernet LAN ports, the MPC-2000 series supports a wide variety of serial and marine-specific interfaces for
high-speed network communications, all with native network redundancy.

The MPC-2000 series comes with a range of standard display enhancements useful in industrial environments
(including 0 to 100% full range dimming, 178°/178° wide viewing angles, optional optical bonding, and/or a
multi-touch touch screen), as well as Moxa’s innov ative SavvyTouch display controls.

The MPC-2000 series panel computers are compliant with key industrial marine standards, such as IEC
60945-4, IEC 61174, IEC 61162, DNV2.4, and IACS E10, validating their resilient durability in marine
operations. An optional IP65-rated unibody housing provides added protection against the hars h conditio ns
found in marine environments. The MPC-2000 series delivers a ru gged, type-a pprov ed, hi gh pe rform ance an d
user friendly panel computer perfect for ECDIS navigation systems and other marine IBS applica tio ns .

Installation and Handling Notes

Before installing or mounting the MPC-2000 series panel computer, read the following notes:

1. The MPC-2000 series is designed for mounting on a desktop, wall, or an FDMI/VESA interface. Refer to
the illustrations in the related sections for detailed instructions.

2. To prolong product lif esp an, good ventilation must be maintained around the machinery. The chassis’
heat-sink area MUST be kept clear fro m other he at gener ating items; otherwise, damage to the system
motherboard may occur. The minimal distance that must be maintained between the heat sink and another
heat source is 150 mm.

3. Do NOT install the unit horizontally (for example, lying down on its back), as heat cannot be dissipated
effectively and may cause damage to the LCD panel. To ensure adequate heat dissipation, install the unit
vertically or within a ±40 degrees slope off the vertical.

4. Exposure to extreme direct sunlight may cause a considerable increase in the temperature of the unit, and
under certain circumstances might lead to overheating. Take this into consideration when bridge equipment
is being planned (for example, sun shades, distance fro m the windo ws, and ventilation.)

5. Exposure to strong vibration or loud, chronic noise might affect functionality and/or product lifespan. It is
advised to take vibration and noise into consideration during system assembly and installation, so that the
mount point may be carefully selected to avoid exposure to undue vibration.

6. For maximum safety, at least two persons should work together to lift, place, and fasten the computer at its
mount point. Before you lift or move the computer, make sure that the system is turned off and no power
is being supplied to the system. In addition, make sure that you have prepared the correct screws for
mounting.

Desktop Mounting

The MPC-2000 series display comes with optional brackets that allow you to install the unit on a horizontal
surface, such as a desktop. Three round screws are required for each bracket. See the following figures for
detailed screw specifications and the torque values.

Place your MPC-2000 series display on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For proper ventilation, leave some
space between the MPC-2000 series display and other equipment.

Do NOT place equipment or objects on top of the MPC-2000 series display. Doing so might damage internal
components.

shown in the figure.

VESA Mounting

The MPC-2000 series also comes with an optional VESA mounting kit. Six f la t-headed screws and four round
screws are required to fasten the VESA mounting bracket. See the following figure for detailed screw
specifications and torque values.

Four additional screws (not included in the kit) are required to mount the unit on a VESA rack. Use M6 screws
with a length between 10 and 12 mm.

This section describes how to connect serial devic e s to the MPC-2000 series.
Read and follow these safety precautions before proc eeding with the installation of any electronic devic e s:

• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wir ing p aths must
cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.

NOT run signal or communications wires together with power wires in the same conduit. To avoid

• Based on the type of signal transmitted through a wire, determine which wires should be kept separate and
which bundled together. 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 all wires used in the system.

– 30 seconds for the system to complete the start-up process.

Powering Off the MPC-2000 Series

To power off the MPC-2000 series panel computer, touch the MENU button for about four seconds. Depending
on the power management settings you configure in the operating system, the MPC-2000 series may enter the
standby, hibernation, or system shutdown mode.

To force the MPC-2000 series to shut down, touch the MENU button for about 10 seconds.

SavvyTouch Display Controls

The MPC-2000 series comes with five SavvyTouch display controls on the front panel. These intelligent controls
turn on as your hand draws near the area of the panel where they are located.

5. BIOS Setup

This chapter describes the BIOS settings of the MPC-2000 series marine panel computer. The BIOS is used to
initialize basic peripherals and helps boot the operating system before the operating system is loaded. You can
access the BIOS setup screens to change the configurations of these basic input/output peripherals. The
configuration information is stored in the battery-backed up CMOS RAM, which retains the system information
after the system reboots or when the power is disconnected.

The following topics are covered in this chapte r:

Upgrading the BIOS

This section describes how to upgrade the BIOS. However, note that an improper BIOS update may damage the
mainboard, leaving the computer unable to boot. We stro ng ly reco mme nd that yo u contact Moxa’s technical
support staff to obtain the necessary tools and the m ost current advice before attempting to upgrade the BIOS
on any Moxa devices.

Step 1: Create a Bootable USB Storage Drive

Before upgrading the BIOS, you must f irst create a bootable USB storage drive for system upgrade.
You may use any software that to create a bootable USB drive. We use Rufus as an example in this section.

1. Start Rufus and select the USB device from the
Device drop-down list.

2. Select MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI
computers to boot from legacy BIOS or UEFI.

3. Select FAT (Default) from the File system
drop-down list.

4. Select 16 kilobytes (Default) from the Cluster size
drop-down list.

5. Enter a drive name in the New volume label field.

6. Check Quick format, Create a bootable disk using

FreeDOS, and Create extended label and icon
files.

7. Click Start to format and create the bootable USB
drive.

recommend that you use a USB drive with less than 2 GB of storage capacity. A USB drive with bigger

may not support FAT file format and, consequently, may fail to boot.

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 installa tio n file. The file name should have following format: 2000xxSx.exe (xx
refers to version numbers).

2. Copy the file to the bootable USB drive.

Step 3: Run the upgrade program on the MPC-2000 Series

1. Reboot the computer , press F2 while during the boot process to access the Boot Manager.

2. Select Generic USB Flask Disk as the first boot source. Press [Enter] to continue.

3. When the boot process is complete, a command screen appears. Go to the directory where the upgrade file
is located. For example, if the upgrade file is store d in the MPC2240 folder, type cd MPC2240.

\cd MPC2240

4. Run the upgrade program by t yping 22410S02.exe. Note that the upgrade filename may vary depending
on the versions.

\MPC2240>22410S02.exe

5. The system automatica lly executes the upgrade program. Wait until the upgrade process is compl et e.
