# 2.2 Connecting DC power

![The image displays a red triangular warning symbol containing a white exclamation point. Below the symbol, the text 'WARNING:' is written in black capital letters.](.mxe-110i-manual-en-20170525-v1/2b7e9bbe939d6c18c1b21e4297151decca1b438e08777ac622644dbb3eed48ba.jpg)

Before providing DC power to the MXE-110i, ensure the voltage and polarity provided are compatible with the DC input. Improper input voltage and/or polarity can be responsible for system damage.

The DC power input connector of the MXE-110i utilizes V+, V-, and chassis ground pins, and accepts input voltage as shown previously.

1. Connect DC power cables as shown.
2. Fix the DC connector using the 2 screws.

# 2.3 DIN rail mounting of the MXE-110i

The MXE-110i controller is shipped with DIN rail mounting brackets and accessory screws, with mounting procedures as follows.

1. Prepare the one DIN rail mount brackets and 2 M4-F head screws included in the package.

![Close-up of a metallic mechanical component with two red-circled holes, no visible text or symbols](.mxe-110i-manual-en-20170525-v1/b7e3589bcf9f2b6c64f623191fce7ab242083d7ef59b1f0d79506e6ca231d536.jpg)

2. Use the 2 included M4-F head screws to fix the DIN rail mount brackets to the chassis, according to the spacing dimensions of the screw holes and brackets, as shown.

![39.7\n43.9\n60\n120\n30.7\n50](.mxe-110i-manual-en-20170525-v1/180e41d1617ae72c89b34c5a6dc26530b44385eeb6cd7f8eb7c33d7bcbe52792.jpg)

# 2.4 Cooling Considerations

Heat-generating components of the MXE-110i (such as CPU and PCH) are all situated on the left side of the system. These components directly contact the heat sink via thermal pads and dissipate heat generated by the components. To maximize efficiency of heat dissipation, maintain a minimum of 2 inches (5 cm) clearance on the top of the MXE-110i.

# Appendix A Using IDP

# A.1 MXE-110i Setup

The platform is designed for headless operation and does not support keyboard, mouse or video output. Connection must be made remotely using terminal over serial connection (RS232).

NOTE:

The following procedure is based on a system on which PuTTY has been installed. PuTTY for Windows is available for download at:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/\~sgtatham/putty/download.html

1. Connect the RS-232 console port on the MXE-110i to the host computer with the USB DB-9 to USB adapter. A COM port (COM3 in this example) appears in the host computer's listings as follows.

4. Attach the AC adaptor plug to the external power supply.
5. Attach the power cable from the adaptor to the MXE-110i. One LED lights on each LAN port.
6. The MXE-110i platform will initiate the boot process, which can be monitored via the PuTTY console on the host computer.

7. Boot will take approximately 2-5 minutes, after which the login screen appears:

# Appendix B Watchdog Timer (WDT) & DI/O Function Libraries

This appendix describes use of the watchdog timer (WDT) function library for the MXE-110i.

The watchdog timer is a hardware mechanism provided to reset the system if the operating system or an application stalls. After starting, the watchdog timer in the application must be periodically reset before the timer expires. Once the watchdog timer expires, a hardware-generated signal is sent to reset the system.

DI/O provides input/output to support inter-device communications. Simple programming guides allow easy transmission of digital signals between the system and attached peripherals.

# B.1 WDT with API

To use the WDT function library for MXE-110i, include the header file matrix\_wdt.h and linkage library matrix\_wdt.lib in the C++ project.

# InitWDT

Initializes watchdog timer function of MXE-110i. InitWDT must be called before the invocation of any other WDT function.

@ Syntax

```txt
C/C++
BOOL InitWDT()
```

@ Parameters

None

@ Return code

TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully initialized.

FALSE if watchdog timer fails to initialize.

# SetWDT

Sets the timeout value of the watchdog timer. There are two parameters for this function to indicate the timeout ticks and unit. ResetWDT or StopWDT should be called before the expiration of watchdog timer, or the system will reset.

# @ Syntax

C/C++

BOOL SetWDT(BYTE tick, BYTE unit)

# @ Parameters

tick

Specify the number of ticks for watchdog timer. A valid value is 1 - 255.

unit

Specify the timeout ticks of the watchdog timer.

<table><tr><td>Value</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>0</td><td>The unit for one tick is one second. For example, when one tick is specified as 100 and the unit as 0, the timeout value is 100 seconds.</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>The unit for one tick is one minute. For example, whenone tick is specified as 100 and the unit as 1, the timeout value is 100 minutes.</td></tr></table>

# @ Return codes

TRUE if timeout value of watchdog timer is successfully set.

FALSE if timeout value of watchdog timer is failed to set.

# StartWDT

Starts watchdog timer function. Once the StartWDT is invoked, the watchdog timer starts. ResetWDT or StopWDT should be called before the expiration of watchdog timer, or the system will reset.

# @ Syntax

C/C++

BOOL StartWDT()

# @ Parameters

None

# @ Return codes

TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully started.

FALSE if watchdog timer is failed to start.

# ResetWDT

Resets the watchdog timer. The invocation of ResetWDT allows restoration of the watchdog timer to the initial timeout value specified in SetWDT function. ResetWDT or StopWDT should be called before the expiration of the watchdog timer, or the system will reset.

# @ Syntax

C/C++

BOOL ResetWDT()

# @ Parameters

None

# @ Return codes

TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully reset.

FALSE if watchdog timer fails to reset.

# StopWDT

Stops the watchdog timer.

# @ Syntax

C/C++

BOOL StopWDT()

# @ Parameters

None

# @ Return codes

TRUE if watchdog timer is successfully stopped.

FALSE if watchdog timer fails to stop.

# B.2 DI/O with API

To use the DI/O function library for MXE-110i, include the header file matrix\_dio.h and linkage library matrix\_dio.lib in the C++ project.

# Appendix C BIOS Setup

![The image features a white document icon with a folded top-left corner and horizontal lines running across it. A large, bold red checkmark is superimposed over the document. The entire graphic is enclosed within a thin black square border.](.mxe-110i-manual-en-20170525-v1/c5c3ad08e61f698500863bd05e171e25701aeca8b8d21ab755c956e32ddc3b14.jpg)
NOTE:

BIOS options in the manual are for reference only, and are subject to configuration. Users are welcome to download the latest BIOS version from the ADLINK website.

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 MXE-110i. The BIOS setup program includes menus for configuring settings and enabling features of the MXE-110i. Most users do not need to use the BIOS setup program, as the MXE-110i ships with default settings that work well for most configurations.

WARNING:

Changing BIOS settings may lead to incorrect controller behavior and possible inability to boot.
