The internal power supply

If you wish to connect further IEEE-1394 components, which need to receive their power
supply via the Cameo 200 RT, you should connect your computer's power supply directly to
the Cameo 200 RT. This way, the power is provided by the power supply, so that the main
board, which otherwise conducts the current, will not be overloaded.

Please be careful, when connecting the power adapter to your Cameo
200 RT, as an incorrect connection may damage the product and
other components of your system. For more information, please refer
to page 8.

Safety note:

Disconnect the power cord from your computer´s power supply and
the electrical socket before opening the enclosure!

And now... step by step:

Shut down your computer and all connected peripheral components, like printer and

·

monitor. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains supply socket. Leave the power
cord connected first, so that your computer is earthed.

·

Touch the metal plate on the rear side of your computer to ground yourself and discharge
any static electricity. Remove the power cord.

·

Remove the cover of your computer.

·

Look for a free PCI expansion slot, remove the screw that holds the slot's bracket and
remove the bracket. To guarantee the best operation of your Cameo 200 RT, choose a slot
that is not next to a card already installed.

!

·

Unpack the Cameo 200 RT – PCI card carefully. Only touch the card's edges, while the
other hand should rest on the metal surface of your computer, ensuring that the
electrostatic discharge flows into the computer without damaging the card. Never touch
the components on the card´s surface.

·

Adjust the bracket of the Cameo 200 RT to the slot, so that the card's PCI connector
exactly fits to the socket of the slot.

·

Apply the card to the slot. You may have to use a little force to make sure that it is
connected correctly.

·

Now attach the Cameo 200 RT with the screw of the PCI slot's bracket.
