Expansion Slot
The MP-2000 provides a free PCI/ISA + PCI expansion slot to accommodate either an ISA or PCI device at a
given time. The expansion card can be plugged into the riser card which is plugged in the onboard PCI/ISA slot
as standard. Due to the compact space design, a half-size expansion card can be adapted. To use the ISA or PCI
expansion, follow the installation instructions below;
1. Unscrew the metal slip located inside the expansion outlet.
2. Plug either an ISA or PCI card into the ISA or PCI slot on the riser card and fix the expansion card by screwing
it to the metal front compartment. All the connectors of the expansion card will come out from the expansion
outlet on the bottom side of the chassis for further cable connection.
System O/S and Software Installation
The MP-2000 is not equipped with any operating system. It builds in a 2.5" HDD as memory storage device. As
the device is built in the system chassis, to load any O/S or application software into the computer, an external
device is needed to act as a bridge. There are three major ways to load software into the system.
1. Use an external FDD:
2. Use ethernet:
3. Use External
CD-ROM/HDD
Attach a 3.5" FDD to the external FDD port via the provided external FDD cable.
The 37-pin FDD connector is to be plugged in to the system FDD connector; the
34-pin standard 3.5" FDD signal connector and the 4-pin FDD power connector
are to connect to the standard 3.5" FDD. Then, configure the system BIOS setup
and insert a 3.5" disk containing necessary software and start the installation.
After install the O/S and necessary network utilities, download application
software from the network.
: To use an external CD-ROM or HDD for software installation, an optional P-IDE
device is needed. The P-IDE device is a converter to convert the parallel port to
the IDE interface.
