SMG-6100 Hardware Introduction
Overview
The SMG-6100 is based on the Intel x86 processor and supports VGA, 4 Ethernet ports, 2 RS-232 serial ports,
and USB. It comes in a standard 19-inch, 1U high form factor with built-in IPSec, making it an ideal
communication platform for industrial machine-to-machine M2M applications.
The SMG-6100 can be used as a communication gateway with sophisticated M2M solutions to help construct a
tunnel server (IPSec) and bi-directional IP communications. When used with Moxa’s SMG-1100, the SMG-6100
can serve as a secure networking host over IPSec to back-end host computers and Modbus TCP Master/Slave
devices. One of the key benefits in this architecture is to facilitate and accelerate the remote monitoring and
management of Modbus devices.

Placement Options
Desktop
Place your SMG-6100 on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For better ventilation, leave some space
between the SMG-6100 and other equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on top of the SMG-6100, as
this might damage the computer’s internal components.
Rack mounting
The SMG-6100 has rackmount supports for installing on a standard rack.
Four rackmount screws are required to attach the SMG-6100 to a standard rack.

Wiring Requirements
The following common safety precautions should be observed before installing 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 intersection point.
•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.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
•When necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.
ATTENTION
Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference,
wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your device.
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 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
consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.
Connecting the Power
To power on the SMG-6100 connect the power line to the SMG-6100’s AC power connector (located on the right
side of the rear panel) using the power cord shipped with the product, and then turn on the power switch. If the
power is properly supplied, the Power LED will light up first, and then the Storage LED will start blinking. It
takes about 30 to 60 seconds for the operating system to boot up.

Reset Button
Pressing the Reset button initiates a hardware warm reboot. The button plays the same role as a desktop PC’s
reset button. After pressing the reset button, the system will reboot automatically. During normal use, you
should NOT use the Reset Button. You should only use this button if the software is not working properly. To
protect the integrity of data being transmitted or processed, you should always reset the system from the
operating system with the software reboot function.

Use the Y-type cable to convert the mini-DIN connector into two 6-pin mini-DIN connectors to connect both a
PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse at the same time. (The Y-type cable is not included in the accessory package.
It should be purchased separately. You may also use the USB ports to connect your USB-based keyboard and
mouse.)
ATTENTION
Please note that without the Y-type cable, the PS/2 connector on the SMG-6100 can only work with a PS/2
keyboard. A PS/2 mouse will not function when directly connected to the PS/2 connector on the SMG-6100.

A. Safety Installation Instructions
A. RTC Battery Warning
CAUTION: There is a risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries
according to the instructions.
B. Rackmount Warning
The following or similar rackmount instructions are included with the installation instructions:
(1) Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
(2) Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
(3) Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
(4) Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
(5) Reliable Grounding: Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., by
using power strips).
