Before providing DC power to the MXE-210, ensure the voltage and polarity provided are compatible with the DC input. Improper input voltage and/or polarity can be responsible for system damage.

Active DC power sources must comply with LPS and SELV circuits with no energy hazard, as well as the following.

 IEC 60950-1:2005+A1:2009+A2: 2013
 Output voltage: 6 to 36VDC
 Output current: 4.2 to 0.7A minimum
 Tma: $5 0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$ min.

The DC power input connector of the MXE-210 utilizes V+, V-, and chassis ground pins, and accepts input voltage as shown previously.

# 2.7 DIN rail Mounting

The MXE-210 controller is shipped with DIN rail mounting brackets and accessory screws, with mounting procedures as follows.

1. Prepare the DIN rail mounting bracket and 2 M4-F head screws.

![Close-up of a mechanical component with two red-circled holes, no visible text or symbols](.mxe-210-series-manual-en-20171201-v1/648f9dc6703de9a084f61fc408ad10105ce5d5cd6d8ed2464c5d3fef2d426962.jpg)

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

![33\n58\n49.65\n53.92\n70\n86.08\n97.28](.mxe-210-series-manual-en-20171201-v1/5d581d9ca024e3a34d3e5cc94f5a66be293034b9aac5b24c1b5dec338848b79b.jpg)

# 2.8 Wall Mounting

![The image displays a yellow triangular warning sign with a black border containing a large black exclamation point. Below the triangle, the text 'CAUTION:' is printed in black capital letters.](.mxe-210-series-manual-en-20171201-v1/f52c1d309d720bb9c7693dcb8c1f479dca052c442570ef2e6f4d7562f565eb0e.jpg)

While configuration shown may indicate otherwise, due to the presence of antenna ports, for safety, the device should ONLY be wall-mounted with the front and rear panels on the sides, NEVER on the top or underside.

Use the 2 M4 screws shipped with the controller to fix the 2 wallmount brackets, also included, to the chassis, according to the spacing dimensions of the screw holes and brackets.

![An icon depicting a white document with a folded top-left corner and faint horizontal lines. A large, red checkmark is superimposed over the center of the document.](.mxe-210-series-manual-en-20171201-v1/81d13805815c3e8354ac199b811ecf1b7d3f454753b43df1a133ca943189c3be.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-210. The BIOS setup program includes menus for configuring settings and enabling features of the MXE-210 series. Most users do not need to use the BIOS setup program, as the MXE-210 ships with default settings that work well for most configurations.

![The image features a central red equilateral triangle pointing upward, containing a white exclamation point. This symbol is set against a white background and is flanked by thick vertical black bars on the far left and right sides.](.mxe-210-series-manual-en-20171201-v1/580171a0fad08f257cea5bf1823fcf8335f95445474b1a7912848f55c4e8da9c.jpg)
WARNING:

Changing BIOS settings may lead to incorrect controller behavior and possible inability to boot. In such a case, Section 1.5.5 Clear CMOS Jumper on page 18 provides instruction on clearing the CMOS and restoring default settings
