3.1 Hardware Installation
3.1.1 PCI-MP4S
Use the following steps to install the PCI-MP4S board on the PCI bus:
1. Remove the computer cover using the instructions from the computer
manual.
2. Check that there is an empty PCI (32-bit) slot to accommodate the board.
If there is no empty slot, remove a PCI board from the computer to make
room for the PCI-MP4S board and note the chosen slot number (i.e. card
index).
3. Remove the blank metal plate located at the back of the selected slot (if
any). Keep the removed screw to fasten the PCI-MP4S board after
installation.
4. Carefully position the PCI-MP4S in the selected PCI slot as illustrated
below. If using a tower computer, orient the board to suit the board slots.
5. Once perfectly aligned with an empty slot, press the board firmly but
carefully into the connector.
6. Anchor the board by replacing the screw.
7. Connect your video sources for image acquisition tests. For details, refer
to the “ViewCreator” utility.
