Placement Options
Desktop
Place your DA-710 on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For better ventilation, leave some space between
the DA-710 and other equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on top of the DA-710, as this might
damage the computer’s internal components.
Rack Mounting
The DA-710 has rackmount supports for installing the embedded computer on a standard rack.
ATTENTION
For maximum safety, at least two persons should work together to lift, place,
and attach the embedded
computer to the rack.
Before you lift or move the embedded computer, make sure that the embedded computer is turned off
and
power to the rack system is turned off.
Four rackmount screws are required to attach the DA-710 to a standard rack.
Follow these steps to install the DA-710 on a rack.
Step 1: Reviewing your components.
Take the rackmount supports out of their packages. There are two packages, each of which contains 1
rackmount support, 1 rackmount hanger, 2 FMSM5X10 screws, and 8 FMSM4X6 screws.

Step 2: Attaching the rackmount hanger to the support.
Use 2 FMSM5X10 screws to attach the rackmount hanger to the ear of the rackmount support. Repeat this
procedure for the second support and hanger.
Step 3: Attaching the rackmount support to the DA-710.
Use 8 FMSM4X6 screws to attach one rackmount support to one side of the DA-710. Repeat this procedure for
the second support and hanger.
Step 4: Installing the DA-710 to a rack.
Gently slide the DA-710 onto the rack, and then use screws provided by the rack supplier to fix the rackmount
support to the rail.
Note that four screws are required to attach the DA-710 to the rack. Use two screws on each side.

As a final check, make sure that the four screws are firmly attached to the rack.
Wiring Requirements
The following common safety precautions should be observed before installing any electronic device:
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
• 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.
Temperature Caution!
Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is
plugged in, the internal components generate heat, and
consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.
