Step 1: If the mounting ears are not installed, use four screws each to
attach the mounting ears on both sides of the computer.
Step 2:
Place the RKP on a rack and use another four screws to secure the
rack-mount ears to the rack.
The second set of four screws
needs to be purchased
separately. Refer to the
figure on the right for the
specifications.
NOTE
This computer is intended to be installed only in an area with
restricted access. In addition, for safety reasons, the computer
should be installed and
handled only by qualified and
experienced professionals.
Connecting the Power
The RKP computers are provided with 2-pin power input connectors in a
terminal block on the front panel. Insert the power-cord wires into the
connectors and tighten them to secure the wires in place. Plug in the
power cable to a power source. The power LED will light up to indicate
that power is being supplied to the computer. It should take about 30
to 60 seconds for the operating system to complete the boot-up
process.

ATTENTION
This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power
Supply with output marked LPS and rated to deliver 12 VDC at
a maximum of 5.4 A, or 24 VDC at a maximum of 2.6 A
, and
minimum Tma=60
˚
C. If you need assistance with purchasing a
power adapter, contact the Moxa technical support team.
ATTENTION
Before connecting the RKP computer to the DC power inputs,
e
nsure that the DC power source voltage is stable.
•
