2. Locate the screw holes on the bottom of the V2403.

3. Place the brackets on the bottom of the V2403 and align the screw

holes on the brackets with the screw holes on the V2403.

4. Insert and tighten the screws into the screw holes.

NOTE

Use all eight screws to ensure that the V2403 is safely and

securely installed on the DIN rail.

5. When the brackets are firmly attached with the screws, you can

install the V2403 onto a DIN-rail.

To remove the V2403 from the DIN-rail, first use a screwdriver to pull

down the DIN-rail connector to unlock it.

To re-install the V2403 on the DIN-rail, use a screwdriver to press the

buckle so that it can be released. At this point, it can be re-installed on the

DIN-rail.

block. If the power is supplied properly, the Power LED will light up. The

OS is ready when the Ready LED glows a solid green.

Grounding the V2403

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to

electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the

grounding screw (M4) to the grounding surface prior to connecting the

power.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well

-grounded

mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

DVI-I Outputs

The V2403 comes with 1 DVI-I female connector for the DVI display. This

output interface is located on the front panel of the product. Be sure to

use the correct cable to connect the computer to the display.

HDMI Outputs

The V2403 comes with a type A HDMI female connector and a DVI-I

female connector on the front panel to connect an HDMI or DVI-I

supported monitor.

The screw hole above the HDMI connector is used to attach a customized

lock to the HDMI connector; a custom lock is needed since the shape of

different HDMI connectors are not the same. Please contact a Moxa sales

representative for details.

The lock appears as shown below:

The lock should appear as shown here after it is

attached to the V2403:
