Hardware Installation
Placement Options
Desktop
Place your DA-682 on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For better ventilation, leave some
space between the DA-682 and other equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on top of the
DA-682, as this might damage the computer’s internal components.
Rack mounting
Use four rackmount screws to attach the DA-682 to a standard rack.

Wiring Requirements
The following common safety precautions should be observed before installing any electronic
device:
y
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring
paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
y
You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be
kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can
be bundled together.
y
Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
y
When necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.
ATTENTION
Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid
interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your device.
Electrical Current Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all
electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious
damage to your equipment.
