Quick Installation Guide
Second Edition, April 2008
1. Overview
The DA-661/662/663-LX are RISC-based, ready-to-run embedded
computers designed for industrial data acquisition applications. Each of
the three models has 16 RS-232/422/485 serial ports. In addition, the
DA-661 has two Ethernet ports, the DA-662 has 4 Ethernet ports, and
the DA-663 has 2 fiber Ethernet channels, all based on the Intel XScale
IXP-425 communication processor. The casing is a standard 1U,
19-inch wide rack-mounted rugged enclosure. The robust,
rack-mountable mechanism design provides the hardened protection
needed for industrial environment applications, and makes it easy for
users to install the DA-661/662/663 on a standard 19-inch rack. The
DA-661/662/663 are ideal for applications that require a distributed
embedded technology, such as SCADA systems, plant floor automation,
and power electricity monitoring applications.

4. Installing Your DA-661/662/663
Desktop Mounting
Place the DA-661/662/663 on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For
better ventilation, attach the 4 pads from the desktop kit to the bottom
of the unit, and leave some space between the DA-661/662/663 and
other equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on top of the unit,
as this can cause damage to the product.
Rack Mounting
The DA-661/662/663 can be mounted on a standard 19-inch rack. Use
the enclosed pair of L-shaped metal plates and screws to fasten the
DA-661/662/663 to the rack cabinet. You can lock either the front panel
or the rear panel of the DA-661/662/663 to the front side of the rack.
