The maximum thickness of the surface to which the computer will be clamped is 4.6 mm. For a secure mounting, all 6 clamps must be used. The clamp arms are fastened into slots on all four sides of the MPC-2070. Use the short M4 SUS (stainless) screws to fasten the clamp arms to the MPC-2070 mounting slots, as shown in the diagram below.
VESA Mounting The MPC-2070 is provided with VESA mounting holes on the back panel, which you can use directly without the need for an adapter. The dimension of the VESA mounting area is 50 x 75 mm. You will require four M4 x 6mm screws to mount the MPC-2070.
To power off the MPC-2070, we recommend using the "shut down" function provided by the OS installed on the MPC. If you use the Power button, you may enter one of the following states depending on the power management settings in the OS: standby, hibernation, or system shutdown mode.
Manually decrease the brightness of the panel ATTENTION The MPC-2070 Series comes with a 1000-nit display, the brightness level of which is adjustable up to level 10. The display is optimized for use in the -40 to 70°C temperature range. However, if you are operating the MPC-2070 at an ambient temperature of 60°C or higher, we recommend setting the brightness level of the...
