Manual Overview

This manual describes the use and
functionality of the D4–470 Industrial PC. In
the manual you will find specifications as
well as application information. This manual
is necessarily limited to the use of the
product as it is configured by us. The many
modifications that could be made to the
D4–470 product cannot be covered here in
detail. Some generic information is provided, however, to illustrate how
modifications are made in general terms (e.g. installing third–party accessory
boards).
In addition to this User Manual, you will receive at least two reference manuals with
the D4–470. One is for the Operating System loaded on your D4–470, either
WindowsR 98, WindowsR 2000 or WindowsR NT. The other is for the CPU–board
that is built into the unit you purchased.
Note: The CPU–board was set–up at the assembly point. You will not need to alter
the setup unless modifications you are making require it.
You may also find the following manuals to be useful:
DThink & Do Software Learning Guide
DLookoutDirect (included with D4–470–LK)
DD2–INST–M or D4–INST–M Installation and I/O Manuals
DD2–ANLG–M or D4–ANLG–M for users of analog modules
If you understand the basics about PCs and need to install the D4–470 or program
an application to run on the D4–470, you should read this manual.
