Overview
The V2406C Series embedded computers are based on the Intel® 7th
generation processor and feature 4 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, dual
LAN ports, and 4 USB 3.0 ports. The V2406C computers come with 1
VGA output and 1 HDMI port with 4k resolution support. The computers
comply with the EN 50155:2017 specifications, covering operating
temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration, making
them suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
The mSATA slot, SATA connectors, and USB ports provide the V2406C
computers with the reliability needed for industrial applications that
require storage expansion for data buffering. Most importantly, the
V2406C computers come with 2 storage trays for inserting additional
storage media, such as hard disk or solid-state drives, which support
hot swapping for convenient, fast, and easy storage replacement. Each
storage slot has its own LED that indicates whether a storage module is
plugged in.

Installing the V2406C
The V2406C computer comes with two wall-mounting brackets. Attach
the brackets to the computer using two screws on each side. Ensure
that the mounting brackets are attached to the V2406C computer in the
direction shown in the following figure.
The four screws for the mounting brackets are included in the product
package. They are standard IMS_M3x5L screws and require a torque of
4.5 kgf-cm. Refer to the following illustration for details.
Use two screws (M3*5L standard is recommended) on each side to
attach the V2406C to a wall or cabinet. The product package does not
include the four screws required for attaching the wall-mounting kit to
the wall; they need to be purchased separately. Ensure that the
V2406C computer is installed in the direction shown in the following
figure.

Connecting the Power
The V2406C computers are provided with M12 power input connectors
on the front panel. Connect the power cord wires to the connectors and
then tighten the connectors. Push the power button; the Power LED
(on the power button) 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.
