4. Insert the MVS-8100L into its PCI slot until it is seated firmly and replace the slot
cover screw.
5. If you selected internal camera power in Step 3, proceed to step 6.
If you selected external camera power in Step 3, connect the appropriate external
power cable between connector JP2 on the MVS-8100L and the +12V power
supply of the host PC as shown in Figure 3 on page 11. Both connectors are keyed
and can only be inserted the correct way.
See Selecting an External Power Cable on page 14 to determine the part number
of the external power cable to use.
6. If you are not installing the camera port expansion panel, proceed to the next step.
If you are installing the camera port expansion panel, Cognex P/N 300-0177,
secure it in an unused bus slot position. Connect the 30-pin connector to the
camera expansion header (JP3) on the MVS-8100L so that the red edge of the
ribbon cable connector aligns with pin 1 as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.
