Hardware Setup
Ethernet Card Setup
Note: If you purchased the Cerebus® Host PC, the Ethernet card is pre-installed and configured in your PC.
The supplied 1-Gbps PCI Ethernet card needs to be installed in a 64-bit PCI slot of the host PC and a crossover
Ethernet cable (included) is needed to directly connect the host PC to the NSP. The host PC and the NSP can also be
connected through a 1-Gbps Business Class Ethernet switch (not a router or a hub), in which case a regular Ethernet
cable is needed.
Setting up the NSP, Neural Signal Amplifier, and Amplifier Power Supply (APS)
1) Remove the NSP, Amplifier and APS from the shipping boxes.
2) Attach the NSP rack-mount brackets to install it in an equipment rack, or rubber feet to place it on a table.
3) Plug in the NSP and APS to electrical outlets. It is recommended to use a power conditioner to remove any line noise.
4) Connect one end of the APS cable to the APS and the other end to the Amplifier. The cable needs to click and lock in
place.
5) Connect one end of the fiber-optic cable to the NSP and the other end to the Amplifier.
6) Attach the CHA-32 connector to the Amplifier front port.
7) Attach one end of the gray ribbon cables to the Amplifier CHA-32 connector and, using the supplied HBA-32 bypass
adaptors, connect the other end to the NSS.
8) Turn on the NSP, the APS and the NSS.
9) The LED on the APS, Amplifier, and the NSP should turn green.
