V2416A Series
Quick Installation Guide
Second Edition, April 2015
Overview
The V2416A-C2 uses the Intel® Celeron® 1047UE processor and
the V2416A-C7 uses the Intel® Core™ i7-3517UE processor. Both
models feature 4 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, dual 10/100/1000
Mbps LAN ports, 3 USB 2.0 hosts, and 2 CFast sockets. The
computers provide 2 DVI-I outputs, making them particularly
well-suited for industrial applications such as rolling stock, SCADA,
and automation systems.
Most importantly, the V2416A computers come with 2
hot-swappable storage trays for additional storage media, such as
hard disks or solid-state drives. The hot swap support makes
storage replacement convenient, fast, and easy, and each storage
tray has its own LED to indicate whether or not a storage module is
plugged into the V2416A.

Installing the V2416A
The V2416A can be DIN-rail mounted, wall mounted, or VESA
mounted. Some mounting kits may need to be purchased
separately. Refer to the V2416A Hardware User’s Manual for
detailed installation instructions.
Connector Description
Power Connector
Connect the 12 to 48 VDC LPS or Class 2 power line to the V2416A
M12 A-coded power connector. If the power is supplied properly,
the Power LED will light up. The OS is ready when the Ready LED
glows a solid green.
ATTENTION
The branch circuit overcurrent protection must be rated
at
a maximum of 5 A.
Grounding the V2416A
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection
from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting
the power.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-
grounded
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
SG: The Shielded Ground (sometimes
called
Protected Ground) contact is the
central pin of the power input
connector. Connect the SG wire to an
appropriate grounded metal surface.
DVI-I Outputs
The V2416A comes with 2 DVI-I female connectors for the DVI
display. These output interfaces are all located on the front panel
of the product. Be sure to use the correct cable to connect the
computer to the display.

CFast Slot
The V2416A has 2 CFast sockets. One slot is located on the front
panel for OS storage and the other slot is located inside the
V2416A for backup storage. Both slots support CFast Type-I/II
with DMA mode.
To install an OS CFast card, remove the outer cover and insert the
CFast card in the socket. When finished, push the cover into the
socket and refasten the screws.
To install a CFast card for backup storage, purchase a CFast card
through Moxa’s CTO* service. Refer to the V2416A datasheet for
more information.
*CTO = Configure to order
USB Hosts
The V2416A has one USB port with an M12 D-coded connector on
the front panel, and two USB ports with type A connectors on the
rear panel. These USB ports can be used to connect flash disks for
storing large amounts of data.
Hot-swappable Storage Trays
The V2416A computers have two slots for additional storage media.
Both slots support hot swapping for convenient, fast, and easy
storage expansion. Refer to the Hardware User’s Manual for
detailed storage installation.
To eject a storage unit, first press the hot-swap button for that tray.
When the LED starts to blink, unscrew the two screws for the
corresponding storage tray, rotate the lock counterclockwise using
the key Moxa provided in the package, and then pull out the
hot-swappable storage tray.
Ethernet Ports
Two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports using M12 X-coded
connectors are located on the front panel. The pin assignments are
shown below.
Serial Ports
The serial ports use DB9 connectors. Each port can be configured
by software for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. The pin assignments
for the ports are shown in the following table:

Reset Button
Press the “Reset Button” on the rear panel of the computer to
reboot the system 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.
Real-Time Clock (RTC)
The V2416A’s real-time clock is powered by a lithium battery. You
can easily replace the battery yourself using an optional battery
kit*. However, please note that there is a risk of explosion if the
battery is replaced by an incorrect type of battery. Refer to the
V2416A Hardware User's Manual or contact a qualified Moxa
support engineer if you have any questions about the RTC battery.
*Moxa offers an “RTC battery kit” that you can use to easily replace
the battery. For details, check the optional accessories section of
the V2416A datasheet.
ATTENTION
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by a
battery of the incorrect type.
Powering on the V2416A
To power on the V2416A, connect the power cable to the V2416A’s
M12 A-coded power connector (located on the rear panel). Press
the power button to turn on the computer. Note that the Shielded
Ground wire should be connected to the central pin of the
connector. It takes about 30 seconds for the system to boot up.
Once the system is ready, the Power LED will light up.
