Installing the V2616A

Wall or Cabinet Mounting

The V2616A comes with two wall-mounting brackets. Use two screws per side to attach the V2616A to a wall
or cabinet.

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 ins talla tio n 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 intersectio n po int.

ATTENTION

Do not run signal or communication wiring together with power w iring in the sam e wire

conduit. To avoid

interference, wires with different signa l c haracteristics should be routed separately.

• Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separ ate . 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.

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wir ing your

V2616A.

Wiring Caution!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wir e and com mon wire . Observe all elec trical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for e ac h 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
conseq

uently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.

V2616A Hardware Manual Hardware Connection Description

3-3

Connecting the Power

Connect the 24 to 110 VDC power line with M12 conne c tor to the V2616A computer. If the power is supplied
properly, the Ready LED will glow a solid green after a 25 to 30 second delay.

Grounding the Unit

SG:

The Shielde d Ground (sometimes called Protected Ground

) contact is the central pin

of the power input connector. Connect the SG wire to an appropriate

ly grounded metal

surface.

Connecting Data Transmission Cables

This section describes how to connect V2616A embedded computers to a network and serial devices.

Connecting to the Network

Plug your network cable into the 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.

Two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports using M12 X-coded connectors are located on the rear panel. See the
figures below for the location of the Ethernet ports and the pin assignments.

ATTENTION

This is the pin assignment

for the computer-side ports on the V2616A shell.

When wiring the switch side of a

third

-party Ethernet cable, you will need to mirror the pin assignment.

Connecting to a Serial Device

Use a serial cable to plug your serial device into the
embedded comput er’s serial port. Serial ports P1
to P2 have male DB9 connectors and can be
configured for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 using
software. The pin assignments are shown in the
table at the top of the next page.

to 16 GB of memory. One 4 GB memory module is installed at the factory. To upgrade a memory module, follow
these instructions:

1. Disconnect the V2616A from the power source.

2. Remove the 21 screws that secure the back panel to the case. See the following figure for details.

3. Pull up the back cover of the computer; you will now
see the memory sockets on the main board.

4. Carefully remove the module by pushing the latches
on both sides of the module, freeing it to be
removed.

5. After removing the memory card , ins ta ll the new
module by gently but firmly inserting it into the RAM
slot. Before securing the card in place, be sure you
have aligned the indentations on each sid e of the
card with the mechanical locks that will hold it in
place (shown at right, in the red circles).
Once the card is properly aligned, gently push the
card down, until it locks in place. You should hear an
audible click; before continuing, make sure the
latches are firmly in place.

6. When finished, replac e the b ack cover of the V2616A computer.

4. BIOS Setup

This chapter describes the BIOS settings of the V2616A computer. The BIOS is a set of input/output control
routines for peripherals. The BIOS is used to initializ e b as ic p eripherals and helps boot the operating system
before the operating system is loaded. The BIOS setup allows the user to modify the system configurations of
these basic input/output peripherals. All of the configurations will be stored in the battery backed up CMOS RAM,
which retains the system information after sy s te m reboo ts or the power is remov ed.

Upgrading the BIOS

This section describes how to upgrade the BIOS. However , Note that it is easy to per manently d a mage the
computer when upgrading the BIOS. We strongly recommend that you contact Moxa’s technical support staff
for assistance in order to obtain all necessary tools and the most current advice before attempting to upgrade
the BIOS on any Moxa device.

Step 1: Create a Boot ab l e USB Disk

Before upgrading the BIOS ev ery user should first c reate a bootable USB RAM drive as a system rescue devic e.
A useful software suite for building USB RAM drives may be found by searching for Rufus, which may then be
downloaded and used to create a bootable RAM drive. Do the following steps to create a bootable USB disk by
using Rufus.

1. Start the Rufus and in Device drop-down list select the
USB device that you want to use as a bootable disk.

2. Select MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI
computers, let it can boot from legacy BIOS or UEFI.

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

4. Select 16 kilobytes (Default) for Cluster size.

5. Enter a drive name in New volume label.

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.

ATTENTION

When you use the USB with

the capacity larger than 4 GB, you need to convert the file system type as FAT32.

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 installation file. The file name should have following format: V2616AxxSx.exe (xx
refers to version numbers).

2. Copy the f il e to the Bootable USB Disk.

Step 3: Run the upgrade program on the V2616A Computer

1. Reboot the computer, pres s F2 while bo oting up to go to the Boot Manager

2. Select USB Disk as the first boo t source . Pre ss Ente r to co ntinue.

3. When boot up finishes, DOS screen will show up. Go to the directory where the upgrade file is located. For
example, if the upgrade file is stored in the V2616A folder, type cd V2616A.

C:\cd V2616A

4. Run the upgrade program by typing 2616A10S6.exe. Note that the upgrade filename may vary depending
on the versions.

C:\ V2616A>2616A10S6.exe

5. The upgrade program will be automatically performed. Wait until the procedure to be finished.
