VGA and audio, and comes with dual LAN ports, 8 serial ports, a
CompactFlash slot, and a USB port. The V481 is based on the Intel x86

4. Installing the V481
Wall or Cabinet Mounting
The V481 has built-in "ears" for attaching the embedded computers to a
wall or the inside of a cabinet. We suggest using two screws per ear to
attach the V481 to a wall or cabinet.
DIN-Rail Mounting
An aluminum DIN-Rail mounting kit is a standard accessory. If you need
to reattach the DIN-Rail mounting kit to the V481, make sure the stiff
metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the following figures.
Follow Steps 1 and 2 to mount the V481 on the DIN-Rail.

To remove V481 from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2
5. Connector Description
Power Connector
Connect the 9 to 36 VDC LPS or Class 2 power line to the V481's
terminal block. If the power is properly supplied, the Power LED will
light up.
Grounding the V481
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting
surface, such as a metal panel.
Use screws on
