ADLINK MXC-6300 Fanless Embedded Industrial Control Computer Deployment Guide

Confirm creation (all data will be erased).

6.3 Operating System Installation (Taking Windows 7 as an Example)

Prepare RAID driver floppy disk/USB (download from ADLINK official website).

Start Windows installation and press F6 when prompted to 'load drivers'.

Select "Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller" to specify additional devices according to S.

After the driver is loaded, the RAID volume can be recognized as a single disk and installation can continue.

Key points for BIOS tuning

7.1 Power on self start (Restore AC Power Loss)

Located in Advanced → Advanced Power Management:

Power Off: Keep turned off after power failure recovery

Power On: Automatically turn on after recovery (recommended for unmanned on-site operation)

Last State: Restore the state before the power outage

7.2 Serial Port Mode Switching (Onboard Device Configuration)

COM1/COM2 can independently select RS-232/422/485 without the need for jumper wires, with pure BIOS settings.

7.3 Startup Optimization

Fast Boot: Enable skip some POST tests to speed up startup.

Quiet Boot: Enable displaying OEM logo and disable displaying detailed POST information.

7.4 AMT Configuration

Support Intel iAMT 8.0 remote management, MEBx needs to be enabled and configured in BIOS (Ctrl+P to enter).

Common problems and troubleshooting

Q1: There is no display when the system is powered on, and the power indicator light is not on?

Check if the DC input voltage is within the range of 9~32V and if the polarity is correct (V+, V -, CHGND). Confirm that the power adapter has a power of ≥ 160W (recommended).

Q2: Unable to drive load with isolated DO?

Confirm that VDD has been connected to the positive pole of the external power supply; Check if the load wiring is in the current injection mode (one end of the load is connected to VDD and the other end is connected to DOn); Measure the voltage of DOn to ground, and when the output is low, it should be close to 0V.

Q3: Is the DI input status read incorrectly?

Use a multimeter to measure the voltage of DIn to ISO-COM: 5~24V should be high (logic 1), and 0~1.5V should be low. Differential input requires measuring the H-L difference.

Q4: Does the system restart or downshift in a high-temperature environment?

Check if industrial grade SSD (wide temperature range) is used; Confirm that the top ventilation space is ≥ 5cm; consider installing an optional fan module; Monitor PC Health Status in BIOS to view CPU/board temperature.

Q5: RAID volume not recognized?

Confirm that SATA Mode is set to RAID in BIOS; Confirm that both hard drives have been correctly installed and recognized; Enter the Ctrl+I interface to check if the RAID volume status is "Normal".
