V2101 HW User’s Manual Hardware Connection Description

Wiring Requirements

This section describes how to connect serial devices to the embedded computer.

You should read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any electronic device:

y 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.

NOTE: 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.

y 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.

y Keep input wiring and output wiring separate. y It is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your V2101.

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.

Connecting the Power

The PC’s power source should be provided by a UL listed class 2 or “Limited Power Source” (LPS), with external adaptor output rated 9 to 36 VDC, 1.8 A @ 9 VDC, 422 mA @ 36 VDC. If the power is supplied properly, the “Ready” LED will glow a solid green after a 25 to 30 second delay.

Grounding the Unit

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Before connecting any devices, run a ground wire from the ground screw to the grounding surface.

3-4

V2101 HW User’s Manual Hardware Connection Description

ATTENTION

This product should be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal panel.

SG: The Shielded Ground (sometimes called Protected

Ground) contact is the right most of the 3-pin power terminal block connector when viewed from the angle shown here. Connect the SG wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface.

Connecting Data Transmission Cables

This section describes how to connect the V2101 embedded computers to the network and serial devices.

Connecting to the Network

Plug your network cable into the embedded computer’s Ethernet port. The other end of the cable should be plugged into your Ethernet network. When the cable is properly connected, the LEDs on the embedded computer’s Ethernet port will glow to indicate a valid connection.

The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN port uses 8-pin RJ45 connectors. The following diagram shows the pinouts for these ports.

The LED indicators on the right top and right bottom corners glow a solid green color when the cable is properly connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network. The LED will flash on and off when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.

The LED indicators on the left top and left bottom corners glow a solid yellow color when the cable is properly connected to a 1000 Mbps Ethernet network. The LED will flash on and off when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.

will be required to confirm the new password. Just re-type the password and then press <Enter>. You may also press <Enter> to abort the selection and not enter a password.

To clear an existing password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password.

A message will show up confirming that the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter the “BIOS Setup Menu” without entering a password.

Once a password has been set, you will be prompted to enter the password each time you enter Setup. This prevents unauthorized persons from changing any part of your system configuration. In addition, when a password setting is enabled, you can set up the BIOS to request a password each time the system is booted up. The “Security Option” setting determines when a password prompt is required. If the “Security Option” is set to “System,” the password must be entered both at boot up and when entering the BIOS Setup Menu. If the password is set for “Setup,” the password prompt only occurs when you enter the “BIOS Setup Menu.”

Upgrading the BIOS

This section describes how to upgrade the BIOS. However, please note that upgrading the BIOS involves high risk of damage to your computer. We strongly recommend that you contact Moxa’s TS staff for assistance and obtain all necessary tools and files before attempting to upgrade.

Step 1: Create a Bootable USB Disk.

We suggest you use the HP USB Disk Format Tool to create a bootable USB disk. You may download this tool from the Internet. Search the Internet using the phrase “HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”, and then download the tool from one of the listed websites.

You will also need to download the FreeDos system files kernel.sys and command.com from

http://www.freedos.org/kernel/.

1. Copy DOS system files kernel.sys and command.com to a specified directory (C:\FreeDOS

in this example).

2. Start the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool and select the USB device that you want to use as

a bootable disk in the Device drop down box.

3. Select FAT in the File system drop down box.

4. Type the disk name in the Volume label field.

5. Check the option Create a DOS startup disk under format options.

6. Specify the directory of the system files (for example, C:\FreeDOS).

7. Click Start to format and create the USB disk.

4-14

V2101 HW User’s Manual BIOS Setup

ATTENTION

We suggest you use a USB drive with under 2 GB in disk space, as larger USB drives may not support FAT file format and consequently fail to boot.

Step 2: Prepare the Upgrade Tool and BIOS Binary File.

You must use the BIOS upgrade installation file to upgrade the BIOS. You can download it from the Moxa Download Center at:

http://web4.moxa.com/support/download_center.asp

1. Get the BIOS upgrade installation file. The file name should have following format:

210010.s00.

2. Copy the file to the Bootable USB Disk.

3. Double click to extract the BIOS update installation file. The file includes a binary file in the

form s210010.s00 and the upgrade utility named awdflash.exe.

Step 3: Set up the BIOS to Boot from the USB Disk.

1. Insert the USB disk.

2. Power on and press DEL to enter the BIOS Setup menu.

3. Select Advanced Æ Hard Disk Boot Priority and then press Enter.

4. From the Setup menu, use “↑” or “↓” to select the USB device.

4-15

V2101 HW User’s Manual BIOS Setup

5. Press “+” to move it up to the first priority, and press “Esc” to exit the setup menu.

6. Make sure the first boot device is Hard Disk. If it isn’t, press Enter to change it.

7. Select Exit Æ Save & Exit Setup and then press Enter.

8. Choose Y to save to the CMOS and then exit.

4-16

V2101 HW User’s Manual BIOS Setup

Step 4: Run awdflash.exe to upgrade the BIOS.

1. While in the BIOS Setup menu and before upgrading the BIOS, you may choose to save the

old BIOS files to a specific location. Type Y to do so, or N to begin the upgrade.

2. If the BIOS Setup is correct, it will restart and boot from the USB disk.

3. Run awdflash 210010.S00 from the command line to upgrade the BIOS. Replace

xxxxxxx.Sxx with the BIOS binary file name discussed in Step 2.

4. Press F1 to reset the system after the bios update is complete. The system should reboot at this

time.

5. Please note that once the BIOS is successfully upgraded, the default BIOS values will be

automatically loaded. However, if you wish to re-configure the BIOS settings, press DEL

while booting.

ATTENTION

Do NOT switch off the power supply during the BIOS upgrade, since doing so may cause the

system to crash.
