that supports VGA and audio, and comes with dual LAN ports, 8 serial
ports, a CompactFlash slot, and a USB port. The V481 is based on the

4. Installing the ThinkCore V481
Wall or Cabinet Mounting
The ThinkCore V481 has built-in “ears” for attaching the embedded
computer to a wall or the inside of a cabinet. We suggest using two
screws per ear.
DIN-Rail Mounting
An aluminum DIN-Rail mounting kit is a standard accessory. If you need
to reattach the DIN-Rail mounting kit to the ThinkCore V481, make sure
the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the
following figures. Follow Steps 1 and 2 to mount the V481 on the
DIN-Rail.
To remove V481 from Din-rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2
.
5. Connector Description
Power Connector
Connect the 9 to 36 VDC LPS or Class 2 power line to the ThinkCore
V481’s terminal block. If the power is properly supplied, the Power LED
will light up.
Grounding the V481
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power.
STEP1: Insert the top of the
DIN-Rail into the slot just below the
stiff metal spring.
STEP2: The DIN-Rail attachment
unit will snap into place as shown.
