# 1 Introduction

# 1.1 Overview

![Exterior view of a ADLINK TECHNOLOGY INC. server with multiple ports and connectors (no readable text or symbols beyond branding)](.mxc-2000-50-1z029-2000-002/ce5460dded78fd2e0f5bcd9f8f3276da67cc93178428ee2d698b63ca4ad6850a.jpg)

ADLINK's Matrix MXC-2000 series is an exceptionally rugged controller with configurable PCI and PCIe slots. It is designed to provide a reliable platform for a wide variety of applications by accepting standard PCI and PCIe cards. The Matrix MXC-2000 series can operate in a -20 to 70°C temperature range and withstands 5 Grms vibration. Its fanless and cable-less structure provides additional durability for long-term usage.

The Matrix MXC-2000 series features the Intel® Atom™ N270 1.6 GHz processor to deliver adequate performance at low power. Its PCI and PCIe slots enable the possibility of integrating off-the-shelf PCI/PCIe cards for a configurable application platform. Generic I/O interfaces, such as Gigabit Ethernet, COM, and USB are provided for connecting devices, while VGA+S-Video dual graphic outputs to allow connections to larger displays such as an LCD TV. The Matrix MXC-2000 series also integrates ADLINK in-house DIO design to deliver optional isolated DIO channels for industrial control usage.

Depending on your configuration of PCI and PCIe add-on cards and DIO options, the MXC-2000 series provides derivative models to fit your applications. MXC-2002 offers two PCI slots while MXC-2011 offers one PCI slot and one PC Express slot. For applications need isolation digital I/O, MXC-2002D and MXC-2011D feature on-board 16-CH isolated digital input and 16-CH isolated digital output to provide DIO function without occupying PCI/PCIe slot.

ADLINK's Matrix MXC-2000 series is the perfect combination of configurability, reliability, durability, and compactness. With the MXC-2000 series, creating your rugged application system has never been easier.

# 2.2.5 CompactFlash Socket

The MXC-2002/2011/2002D/2011D controller is equipped with a Type I CompactFlash socket which is located on the front panel. The CF interface is transferred from USB by an ASIC. Due to the nature of USB interface, the CF card is hot-pluggable, but cannot be a boot device with a OS installed. You can install your operating system to the internal CF card, which is described in section 2.3.1.

# 2.2.6 COM Ports

The MXC-2002/2011/2002D/2011D controller provides four COM ports in the form of D-Sub 9P connectors.

# 4 BIOS Settings and Driver Installation

# 4.1 BIOS Setting

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is a program that provides a basic level of communication between the processor and peripherals. In addition, the BIOS also contains codes for various advanced features applied to the MXC-2002/2011/2002D/2011D controller. The BIOS setup program includes menus for configuring settings and enabling features of MXC-2000 series. Most users do not need to use the BIOS setup program, as the MXC-2002/2011/2002D/2011D controller ships with default settings that work well for most configurations.

In this section, BIOS options are illustrated.

Warning: Changing BIOS settings may lead to incorrect controller behavior and possibly an unbootable controller. If this happens, follow the instructions in Section 2.4.4 to clear CMOS and then restore the default settings. In general, do not change a BIOS setting unless you are absolutely certain of what it does.

# 4.1.1 Main

# 4.1.1.1 System Time/System Date

Use this option to specify the system time and date. Highlight System Time or System Date using the up or down &lt;Arrow&gt; keys. Enter new values using the keyboard then press &lt;Enter&gt; key. Press the &lt;Tab&gt; key to move between fields. The date must be entered in MM/DD/YY format. The time is entered in HH:MM:SS format.

# A Appendix

# A.1 Watchdog Timer (WDT) Function Reference

This appendix describes the usage of the watchdog timer (WDT) function library for the MXC-2002/2011/2002D/2011D controller. Watchdog timer is a hardware mechanism to reset the system in case the operating system or an application halts. After starting watchdog timer, you need to periodically reset the watchdog timer in the application before the timer expires. Once watchdog timer expires, a hardware-generated signal is sent to reset the system.

To use the WDT function library for MXC-2000 series, you need to include the header file WDT.h and linkage library WDT.lib in your C++ project.
