Hardware Installation Procedure
You must plug the Mini PCI Express board into the PC before installing the driver. The following steps show how to install the Moxa Mini PCI express cards.
- Find the Mini PCIe slot in your computer.
- Insert the Mini PCIe multiport serial board and lock the screws.
- Unscrew to remove the blank expansion plate. (We use Moxa V2406C as an example.)
NOTE
Moxa Mini PCIe multiport serial boards are suitable for Moxa’s IPC models that have mini PCIe interfaces and expansion slots, such as the MC-7400 Series, V2403C Series, and V2406C Series. The bracket size matches the expansion slot dimensions of the IPC models.
For the models (CP-102N-T, CP-102N-I-T, CP-112N-T, CP-132N-T, CP-132N-I-T, CP-104N-T) without I/O boards. - Unscrew the hexagonal copper pillars on the cable (DB9 Connector) and use them to connect the provided cables with the bracket.
- Insert the plate through the blank expansion slot and lock the screws.
- Connect the Mini PCIe multiport serial board with the cables.
For the models (CP-104N-I-T, CP-134N-I-T, CP-114N-T) with I/O boards.
- Unscrew the hexagonal copper pillars on the I/O board and lock the I/O board with the bracket.
- Insert the I/O board with the bracket through the blank plate hole and lock the screws.
- Connect the I/O board to the Mini PCIe multiport serial board with the serial cables.
NOTE
To pull out the internal connection cable safely from the boards, you should perpendicularly pull it out as shown in the image on the right. Also, pull out the cable gently.
