Quick Installation Guide

Second Edition, May 2009
1. Overview
The DA-681 computer uses the Intel x86 processor and supports VGA,
6 Ethernet ports, 4 RS-232 and 8 RS-485 serial ports with digital
isolation, CompactFlash, and USB. The DA-681 comes in a standard
19-inch, 1U high form factor, making it an ideal platform for industrial
applications.
With its robust design, the DA-681 is suitable for industrial automation
applications that require standard 19-inch rackmount solutions, such as
power automation, transportation, and oil and gas. Another plus is that
the serial ports come with 2 KV digital isolation protection to guarantee
communication reliability in harsh industrial environments.
Moreover, the DPP-T models are in full compliance with IEC 61850-3
standards to meet the demands of power substation automation.

Connecting the Power
DA-681 offers both single power and dual power inputs. Please use a
screwdriver to remove the screws. Connect the power cord to the
screws, and then attach the screws to the unit. For single power models
(SP), use Power 1 only; for dual power models (DP and DPP-T), use
both Power 1 and Power 2 for power input installation. Refer to the
following figure for detailed information.
