DA-662A Series
Quick Installation Guide
Version 2.0, January 2019
Overview
DA-662A computers are Arm-based, ready-to-run embedded
computers designed for industrial data acquisition applications.
The DA-662A computers come with 8 to 16 RS-232/422/485 serial
ports, 4 Ethernet ports, and 2 USB 2.0 ports, all based on the Moxa
Macro communication processor. In addition, the
DA-662A-I-8/16-LX’s serial ports support 2k digital isolation and 8
kV contact, 15 kV Air ESD protection and 2 kV line-to-line, as well
as 4 kV line-to-ground surge protection. The casing is a standard
1U, 19-inch wide rack-mounted rugged enclosure. The robust,
rack-mountable design provides the hardened protection needed
for industrial environment applications, and makes it easy for
users to install the DA-662A Series on a standard 19-inch rack. The
DA-662A computers are ideal for applications that require a
distributed embedded technology, such as SCADA systems, plant
floor automation, and power electricity monitoring applications.

Installing Your DA-662A Computer
Desktop Mounting
Place the DA-662A on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For
better ventilation, attach the 4 pads from the desktop kit to the
bottom of the DA-662A, and leave some space between the
DA-662A and other equipment. Do not place equipment or objects
on top of the DA-662A, since doing so could damage it.
Rack Mounting
The DA-662A can be mounted on a standard 19-inch rack. Use the
enclosed pair of L-shaped metal plates and screws to fasten the
DA-662A to the rack cabinet. You can lock either the front panel or
the rear panel of the DA-662A to the front side of the rack. Each
L-shaped plate has 6 holes, leaving two outer or inner holes open
for your convenience.
Connecting Your DA-662A Computer
Power Connector
Connect the 100-240 VAC power line to the DA-662A’s power
connector. The Ready LED on the front panel will glow a steady
green when the OS is ready.
