# 1 Introduction

# 1.1 Overview

The Matrix MXE-1500 is powered by the quad-core Intel® Celeron® Processor N3160 and dual-core N3060, supports Windows 7, and is also the first entry level platform to support independent 3-display interface, with improved graphics performance over previous generation systems.

The MXE-1500's rich I/O provides three Intel® Ethernet Controller I211, up to six serial ports, six external USB, one internal USB dongle, and optional features including amplifier, TPM 2.0 and either LVDS or 2nd DisplayPort for the flexibility to fulfill the demands of a wide array of applications.

4. Rejoin the chassis and replace the front and rear panels, with all screws and fixing members in place.

# 2.5 Connecting DC power

![The image shows a safety symbol consisting of a red triangle with a white exclamation point in the center. Below the triangle, the word 'WARNING!' appears in black capital letters on a white background.](.mxe-1500-50-1z247-1010-11/7ebc285ab7b86e0e8fb0f29f3f614b49ee7252c85fe0f9e0c1a90e26d9fdaff2.jpg)

Before providing DC power to the MXE-1500, ensure voltage and polarity provided are compatible with the DC input. Improper input voltage and/or polarity can be responsible for system damage.

The MXE-1500 DC power input connector utilizes V+, V-, and chassis ground pins, and accepts input voltage as discussed.

Connect the DC power connector and fix using the 2 screws.

![V- m V+](.mxe-1500-50-1z247-1010-11/c8d56962caff7d9f33407767d9b87cec3f46684234b9454032b1f4a71c87dc46.jpg)

# 2.6 Wall-mounting the MXE-1500

The MXE-1500 is shipped with a VESA 100 wall-mount brackets and accessory screws. The bracket has four M4 mounting holes with a pitch of 100 mm, allowing fixture to any VESA 100 compatible mounting mechanism. The mounting bracket enables the MXE-1500 series controller to be mounted on a wall or the back of a monitor. To wall-mount the MXE-1500:

1. Remove the four M4 screws on the bottom cover.

![Front view of a silver rack-mounted device with four black circular holes and ports, no visible text or symbols.](.mxe-1500-50-1z247-1010-11/3f1a1b0526916f18de159e145dd7eedcb1864e5f4faca6add2c64af69104c41d.jpg)

2. Replace with the 4M4.0,I-head screws.
3. Prepare the wall-mount brackets and 4 M4 screws provided.

4. Fasten the 4 screws to fix the bracket to the desired mounting surface (wall or monitor) as shown.

# 2.7 Cooling Configuration

Heat-generating components of the MXE-1500 (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-1500.

A large, bold red checkmark is superimposed over the center of the document.](.mxe-1500-50-1z247-1010-11/a95da437d18f980e5cd4c1322d060f6661bb0809bb6a5b6a455a1dbe9ccf70a2.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-1500. The BIOS setup program includes menus for configuring settings and enabling features of the MXE-1500 series. Most users do not need to use the BIOS setup program, as the MXE-1500 ships with default settings that work well for most configurations.

![The image displays a red triangular warning sign with a thick white border. Centered inside the red triangle is a large, white exclamation point.](.mxe-1500-50-1z247-1010-11/11a1772081ae634a07e7e31757fd9037c4d66667f56f127037a2538ba5dc3c4d.jpg)
WARNING:

Changing BIOS settings may lead to incorrect controller behavior and possible inability to boot. In such a case, Section 1.7.10 on page 27 provides instruction on clearing the CMOS and restoring default settings

Enter BIOS setup by selecting DEL when the system is powered on the POST (Power On Self Test) message is displayed.The MXE-1500 controller supports one-time Boot Menu allowing selection of boot device. Enter the Boot Menu by selecting F7 at POST.
