1. Overview
ThinkCore DA-660 products are RISC-based ready-to-run embedded
computers designed for industrial data acquisition applications. They
feature 8 or 16 RS-232/422/485 serial ports and dual Ethernet ports based
on the Intel XScale IXP-422 communication processor. The casing is a
standard 1U, 19-inch wide rack-mounted rugged enclosure. This robust,
rack-mountable mechanism design provides the hardened protection
needed for industrial environment applications, and lets users easily
install DA-660 on a standard 19-inch rack. Using ThinkCore DA-660
products, you can easily build a control system with distributed
architecture for embedded technologies, such as SCADA systems, plant
floor automation, and power electricity monitoring applications.

4. Installing Your ThinkCore DA-660
Desktop Mounting
Place your ThinkCore DA-660 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-660 and other
equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on top of the unit, as this
can cause damage to the product.
Rack Mounting.
ThinkCore DA-660 can be mounted on a standard 19-inch rack. Use the
enclosed pair of L-shaped metal plates and screws to fasten your DA-660
to the rack cabinet. There are two options to do this. You can lock either
the front or the rear panel of the DA-660 to the front side of the rack.
Each L-shaped plate has 6 holes, leaving two outer or inner holes open
for your convenience.
5. Connecting Your ThinkCore
Power Connector
Connect the 100-240 VAC/VDC power line to ThinkCore DA-660's
power connector. If the power is properly supplied, the Ready LED on
the front panel will glow a solid green when the OS is ready.
