Power On/Off Button
The power on/off button is located above the power input terminal block. The button supports the
ATX power on/off function. By default, the button is set for instant off. You may also configure
the button for delay 4 seconds to guard against shutting down the power uninten tionally. In this
case, you must press the power button continuously for at least 4 seconds to shut off the power.
For detailed configuration instructions, please see Chapter 4: BIOS Setup towards the end of this
manual.
Reset Button
Press the Reset Button continuously for at least 5 seconds to load the factory default configuration.
After the factory default configuration has been loaded, the system will reboot automatically. The
Ready LED will blink on and off for the first 5 seconds, and then maintain a steady glow once the
system has rebooted.
We recommend that you only use this function if the software is not working properly and you
want to load factory default settings. The Reset to Default functionality is not design ed to hard
reboot the V460 Series.
ATTENTION
Reset to Default preserves user’s data
The Reset to Default functionality will NOT format the user directory and erase the user’s data.
Pressing the Reset to default functionality will only load the configuration file. Other user data
will not be deleted from the Flash ROM.
Real Time Clock
The V460’s real time clock is powered 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.
WARNING
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Wiring Requirements
In this section, we describe how to connect various devices to the embedded computer. You
should heed the following 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 and power wiring in the same wire conduit.
To avoid interference, wires with different s i gna l characteristics should be routed separately.
y You can 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 se parate.
y When necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring.
Electrical Current 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 ove rheat, 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
Connect the live-wire end of the 9-36 VDC power adaptor to the embedded computer’s terminal
block. When the power is properly supplied, the Power LED will glow a solid green color.
