Powering on IA261/262

Connect the power source located at the top side of the unit to boot up the system. It takes about 5

seconds for the system to boot up and you can hear a clear “BEEP” voice. Once the system is

ready, the “Ready” LED will light up and stay on till you shutdown the computer.

Resetting Your IA26X-CE Computer

Warm-Start: In power-on state, push the “Reset” and release it in 1 second. The computer reboots

itself.

Cold-Start: Switch off and then switch on the power again. The computer reboots itself right

away.

Reset to Factory Defaults (Configuration only): If the computer is not working properly, and

you want to reset it back to factory default settings, press and hold the “Reset” button for 5

seconds in the OS start up state. The buzzer sounds while the factory default settings are loaded.

After the factory default has been loaded, the computer reboots itself. Do not confuse this with the

“Warm-Start”.

Reset to Factory Defaults (Configuration and file system): If the computer cannot be started up.

You must go to the Boot Loader and format the storage flash. After the formatting procedure done,

you should restart it.

Boot Loader

For the OS stability issue, we provide an easy and useful function for you. There are three

important functions in it.

1. Reset to default: you can enforce the WinCE 6.0 to do the “reset to factory” default.

2. Format storage flash: Cause the CE 6.0 file system is the FAT, and we know FAT could be

damaged by unstable power or improper application execution. If the FAT table is crashed you

should not start the OS up. But we can format the file system and reboot IA26X-CE.

At the IA26X-CE startup, it will check the file system and re-partition it if the file system is

empty.

3. Firmware upgrade: If you found a new firmware from Moxa web site, you can upgrade the

firmware by the function. (Details in the appendix A)
