MXE-5500 2.4 Installing a CFast Card The MXE-5500 series controller provides an external CFast socket to accommodate a CFast card. 1. Remove the 2 fastening screws from the CFast cover. 2. Align the CFast card with the socket guide. 3. Gently insert the CFast card until it is firmly seated.
4. Replace the cover and the 2 fastening screws. 2.5 Connecting DC power Before introducing DC power to the MXE-5500, ensure the voltage and polarity provided are compatible with the DC input. Improper input voltage and/or polarity can be responsible for WARNING: system damage.
MXE-5500 2.6 Wall-mounting the MXE-5500 All dimensions shown are in millimeters (mm) unless otherwise stated. NOTE: NOTE: To sustain structural integrity, the device should not be wall- mounted with the rear panel on the bottom. CAUTION: 1. Remove the 4 plastic pads and right and left side screws from the underside.
3. Once final assembly is complete, mount the MXE-5500 series controller on the wall via the screw holes. 25.20 7.20 10.00 5.20 2.7 Cooling Considerations Heat-generating components of the MXE-5500 (such as CPU and PCH) are all situated on the top of the system. These components directly contact the heat sink via thermal pads and dissipate heat generated by the components.

Padding If the data length is not a multiple of four, the required number of pad (or fill) characters is appended. In String mode, a valid pad character can be any printable ASCII character or a pre- defined pad characters: - SPACE character (ASCII character 0x20) - NULL character (ASCII character 0x00) In Hex mode, any eight bit hex value (00..FF) is valid.
MXE-5500 C.4 Hardware Control Tab C.4.1 Watchdog The watchdog timeout value is given in seconds and can be set at 1 to 65535 seconds, with a value of 0 seconds disabling the watchdog. When enabled, the watchdog should be triggered repeatedly within the timeout period to avoid system reset.
When using the watchdog feature, all partitions must be mounted as read-only, to avoid file sys- tem corruption and data loss. NOTE: NOTE: It is not advisable to use the watchdog feature in a Windows environment, since Windows restart uses a safe shutdown procedure.

To read data from or write data to the BMC an address (8-bit) must be given as well as the amount of data to be transferred (length) plus the register offset. Data should then be handed over in hex values forming a hex string, as shown.
C.7.1 GPIO information Controls GPIO direction, with each bit in the shown byte repre- senting a GPIO. To set a GPIO for output the bit must set to 0, and for input 1. Get Direction reads the current configuration and Set Direction sets the configuration to the value entered in the Input New Direction field.
MXE-5500 C.7.2 IO Read Shows the current input values for all GPIOs, with those config- ured as output showing current output value. C.7.3 IO Write Sets outputs, with GPIOs configured as input not affected.
