Quick Start - DT4
Attach the VGA cable to your monitor (if you are using a monitor to access the system).

additional internal USB connections to the system if needed.
The DIP switches 1-8 are set to the default: ON, ON, OFF, OFF, OFF, ON, OFF, ON; Leave the defaults for now. You can
consult the SBExpress-DT4 User Guide later for additional options.
Four additional USB ports (2 USB ports as shown on the back of the system and 2 internal USB ports, not shown) for
optional devices and connecting peripherals are available if needed.
A serial COM port (19200 8n1) is available if needed for connection to a serial console.
