Proper grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise
from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground
connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to
connecting the power. There is a ground symbol next to the
connector. Connect the ground wire to an appropriate grounded
metal surface.

grounded
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

Removable Storage Trays
The MC-7270-DC-CP-T computer has a removable storage device
tray on the front panel. You may install an SSD storage drive for
storage expansion. In addition, an internal SATA expansion slot for
additional drives is also available 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 Switch
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 terminal 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-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 at http://www.moxa.com/rma/about_rma.aspx.
ATTENTION
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with 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.
