Installing the MPC-2240 Series
Desktop
The MPC-2240 comes with optional brackets that allow you to
install the panel computer on a horizontal surface, such as a
desktop. Three round screws are required for each bracket. See
the figure at the top of the next page for detailed screw
specifications and their torque value.

Place your MPC-2240 Series panel computer on a clean, flat,
well-ventilated desktop. To protect the computer from overheating,
leave some ventilation space between the MPC-2240 and other
equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on the panel, as this
might damage internal components.
WARNING
The desktop brackets are intended for temporary use when
conducting lab tests, and are not intended to be used in
permanent deployments.
Wall Mounting
The MPC-2240 Series comes with 14 optional clamp mounts that
allow for installation onto a wall (where space has been cut out to
accommodate the rest of the hardware) or into computing stations
where a flush mount is desired. 11 mm is the maximum surface
thickness to which the computer may be clamped. For a
secure mounting, all 14 clamps must be used. The clamp arms are
fastened into slots on all four sides of the MPC-2240. Use the short
M4 SUS screws to fasten the clamp arms to the MPC-2240
mounting slots, as shown in the magnified inset in the diagram just
below. Next, use the clamps to fasten the computer to its
mounting point; please note the torque value that is shown in the
figure inset, below.
