Connecting The Camera To The Notebook - Zeiss AxioCam MRc5 Installation Reference Manual

Installation of the AxioCam MRc5
For installation of the FireWire PCcard (CardBus) interface card,
please also take into account the notes in the interface card and
notebook documentation. Only the basic principles of interface card
installation are described in this manual.
FireWire PCcard (CardBus) interface card
Switch off your notebook and all connected peripherals. Insert the FireWire
PCcard (CardBus) interface card into the appropriate slot on the notebook.

Connecting the camera to the notebook

Lay the data cable carefully between the camera and the
notebook. Make sure that the cable is a safe distance from hot
light sources on the microscope, to prevent it being damaged by
heat.
To ensure the efficient use of energy resources, the FireWire slots
on the notebook are not normally designed to supply power to
peripheral devices. A FireWire hub should therefore be used to
supply power to operate the AxioCam MRc5 on a notebook.
