PCI-104 Board Installation
Picolo U4 H.264 PCI-104 can be easily inserted in computers/industrial PCs/chassis due to PCI-104 compact size. Up to 4 boards can be stacked together based on the PCI-104 specifications.
Recommended Installation Procedure
- Switch off the computer and all connected peripherals (monitor, printer...).
- 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.
- Disconnect all cables from your computer, including AC power.
- Open the computer enclosure accordingly to the manufacturer instructions. Insert the PCI-104 board accordingly.
- Module stacking:
- The Euresys PCI-104 boards are stackable PCI-104 add-in modules. Euresys PCI-104 boards connect to the host PC and other modules through a stackable 120-pin 2mm pitch connector compliant with PCI-104 specification*. The connector pins are protected by a connector shroud.
- Note that a PCI-104 module can be stacked with PC-104Plus, PCI-104, and PCI-104 Express modules, but NOT with PC/104 modules. A maximum of 4 PCI devices is allowed in the stack.
- The components height on both sides of the Euresys PCI-104 boards are compliant with the restrictions required by PCI-104 specification. This enables the board stacking with the standard board-to-board spacing.
- Before stacking the boards, the PCI SLOT SELECTOR switch (on the back of the board) must be set according to the board stack position.
- Secure mechanically the stack by means of 4 standard stainless steel standoffs. Refer to PCI-104 specification* for a description of the standoffs. The standoffs are not delivered with the Euresys PCI-104 boards.
- Establish the camera connection.
- Close the computer enclosure according to the manufacturer instructions.
