1.3. Precautions for Use of Board Products

Electrostatic Sensitive
described and apply any general procedure aimed at reducing the risk associated with electrostatic discharge. Damage
caused by improper handling is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Electromagnetic CompatibilityEuresys boards are compliant with electromagnetic compatibility regulatory requirements.
To ensure this compliance, the card bracket must be secured with the relevant screw in accordance with the procedure
described herein.
Risk of Electrical ShockDo not operate the computer with any enclosure cover removed. During the hardware installation,
ensure the AC power cord is unplugged before touching any internal part of the computer.
Heating DeviceIt is normal for a board to dissipate some heat during operation. All enclosure covers, including blank
brackets, must be fitted correctly to ensure that the fan cools the computer adequately.
Hot Plugging ForbiddenUncontrolled plugging and unplugging of equipment may damage a board. Always switch off the
computer and any relevant system device when connecting or disconnecting a cable at the frame grabber or auxiliary board
bracket. Failure to do so may damage the card and will void the warranty.
Poor Grounding Protection
connections. Poor ground interconnection, ground loop or ground fault may induce unwanted voltage between equipment,
causing excessive current in the interconnecting cables. This faulty situation can damage the frame grabber or the camera
electrical interface.The user must follow proper equipment grounding practices at all ends of the interconnecting cables. In
addition, the use of cable assemblies with overall shield solidly connected to the conductive shell of all connectors is
recommended. Besides the beneficial effect of cable shielding on electromagnetic compatibility, the shield connection can
increase the protection level against grounding problems by temporarily absorbing unwanted fault current.

1.4. PCI Card Installation Procedure

1. Switch off the computer and all connected peripherals (monitor, printer...).
2. Discharge any static electricity that could be accumulated by your body. You can achieve this by touching an unpainted
metal part of the enclosure of your computer with a bare hand. Make sure that the computer is linked to the AC power
outlet with proper earth connection.
3. Disconnect all cables from your computer, including AC power.
4. Open the computer enclosure, according to the manufacturer instructions, to gain access to the PCI slots. Locate an
available and adequate PCI slot. Refer to
5. Remove the blank bracket associated with this location. To achieve this, remove the securing screw and keep it aside
for later use in the procedure. Keep the blank bracket in a known place for possible re-use.
6. Unwrap the Euresys card packing, take the board and carefully hold it. Avoid any contact of the board with unnecessary
items, including your clothes.
7. Gently insert the card into the selected PCI slot, taking care to push it down fully into the slot. If you experience some
resistance, remove the board and repeat the operation. You should attempt to make a perfect board-to-slot
mechanical alignment for best results. Ensure that the lower part of the bracket is inserted into the corresponding
enclosure fastening.
8. Secure the board with the saved screw.
9. Close the computer enclosure according to the manufacturer instructions.
10. Establish the camera(s) connection(s).
DeviceBoards may be damaged by electrostatic discharges. Follow the procedure hereby
The computer and the camera can be located in distant areas with individual ground
