Overview
The MPC-2000 series panel computer features advanced Intel
processors—3rd generation Ivy Bridge Core or Celeron—matched to 4 GB
of system memory, delivering a reliable, high-performance marine
computing platform of wide versatility. With its RS-232/422/485 serial,
NMEA 0183, and Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, the MPC-2000 series
supports a wide variety of serial- and marine-specific interfaces with
high-speed network communications and native network redundancy.
The MPC-2000 series comes with a range of standard display
enhancements useful in industrial environments (including 0 to 100% full
range dimming, 178°/178° wide viewing angles, optional optical bonding,
and/or a multi-touch screen), as well as Moxa’s innovative SavvyTouch
display controls.

Installing the MPC-2000 Series
Desktop
The MPC-2000 series comes with optional brackets that allow you to
install the display on a horizontal surface, such as a desktop. Three round
screws are required for each bracket. See the figure for detailed screw
specifications and their torque values.
Place your MPC-2000 series display on a clean, flat, well-ventilated
desktop. To protect the computer from overheating, leave some
ventilation space between the MPC-2000 series and other equipment.
Do NOT place equipment or objects on the panel, as this might damage
internal components.
Wall Mounting
The MPC-2000 series comes with optional clamp mounts for installation
onto a wall (where space has been cut out to accommodate the rest of the
hardware) or into computing stations where a flush mount is desired.
For a secure mounting, use all 14 clamps on the MPC-2260 and MPC-2240,
or use 10 clamps on the MPC-2190.
The clamp arms are fastened into slots on all four sides of the MPC-2000
series. Use the short M4 SUS screws to fasten the clamp arms to the
MPC-2000 series mounting slots, as shown in the following figure. Next,
use the clamps to fasten the MPC-2000 series to its mounting point; note
the torque value as shown in the figure.

VESA Mounting
The MPC-2000 series also comes with an optional VESA mounting kit. Six
flat screws and four round screws are required to attach the VESA
mounting bracket. See the following figure for detailed screw
specifications and torque values.
An additional four screws (not included in the kit) are required to mount
the MPC-2000 series on a VESA rack. For this purpose, use M6 screws
with a length between 10 and 12 mm.
Connector Description
Extending the Display
The MPC-2000 series comes with both standard VGA (DB15) and DVI-D
(DB29) interfaces (on the bottom panel) that can be used to
simultaneously display across two monitors.
Connecting to a Keyboard and Mouse
The MPC-2000 series comes with
two PS/2 connectors located on the
bottom panel for connecting a
keyboard and a mouse.

Powering the MPC-2000 Series On or Off
To power on the MPC-2000 series, connect the Terminal Block to
Power Jack Converter to the MPC-2000 series DC terminal block
(located on the bottom panel) and then connect a power adapter; or,
alternately, you may power the device using the AC power cord.
Touch the MENU button (in the lower right corner of the display panel) for
one second to turn on the computer. It takes about 10 to 30 seconds for
the system to boot up.
To power off the MPC-2000 series, touch the MENU button for four
seconds; depending on the power management settings of the operating
system, you can select the “standby”, “hibernation”, or “system
shutdown” mode.
If you encounter any technical problems, touch the MENU button for 10
seconds to force the system to shut down.
NOTE
If the MPC-2000 series is powered using a DC converter, the
system displays
Fail for the AC power status in the INFO
dialog.
This does not affect the operation of the MPC-2000 series.
Grounding the MPC-2000 Series
Proper grounding and wire routing help to 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
source.
For detailed information on setup and configuration, refer to the
MPC-2000 Series Hardware Manual, which you can download from the
Moxa company website at www.moxa.com.
