Prerequisites
The host computer must have at least one PCIe 3.0 x4 slot available on
the main board.
When using Power over CoaXPress (PoCXP), make sure that the power
supply of your computer provides a female 6-pin PCIe power connector.
If none is available, get an appropriate adapter.
If you are not using PoCXP, you need an external power supply.
Make sure that you have a suitable lens and the required accessories to
hand.
Step 1: Installing the Interface Card
1. Make sure that the host computer is shut down and unplugged from the
power outlet.
2. Remove the cover of the computer.
3. Plug the interface card into a free PCIe 3.0 x4 slot of the computer.
4. If you want to power the camera via the interface card (PoCXP), the
interface card needs to be connected to the power supply of the
computer.
Plug the female power supply connector of the computer to the power
connector of the interface card (PCIe 6-pin). If your computer doesn’t
provide a matching power supply connector, use an appropriate adapter.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
5. Put the case of the computer back together.
Step 2: Installing the Camera
1. Make sure that the camera is disconnected from any power supply.
Contamination Hazard: Dust on the sensor may impair the camera’s
performance.
Make sure that the camera is pointing down during the next installation
steps.
2. Remove the seal from the camera front.
3. Attach a mount to the camera.
Note: If you want to use multiple interface cards in the same computer,
make sure that you have one PCIe 3.0 x4 slot per card on the main board
of that computer.
Use an adequate ventilation system within your computer and leave
sufficient free space between your interface card and other cards, if you
use any.

Damage Hazard: Inserting the lens too far into the camera may damage
the sensor.
When carrying out the next step, make sure not to insert the lens any
deeper than the specified maximum allowed lens intrusion.
For detailed information, refer to the Basler Product Documentation
available at: docs.baslerweb.com
4. Attach a suitable lens to the camera.
5. Provide sufficient heat dissipation, e.g., by attaching two heat sinks to
the camera.
Step 3: Providing Camera Power
1. If you are using PoCXP:
Plug one end of the CoaXPress cable into the Micro-BNC (HD-BNC)
connector of the camera and plug the other end of the CoaXPress cable
into the Micro-BNC connector of the interface card.
NOTICE
Note: The camera can be powered via PoCXP or via the I/O connector
using an external power supply (AUX power).
If you power your camera by both the CoaXPress interface and the
I/O connector, the power provided by the I/O connector is used only.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2. If you are using an external power supply:
a. Plug one end of the CoaXPress cable into the Micro-BNC (HD-BNC)
connector of the camera and plug the other end of the CoaXPress
cable into the Micro-BNC port of the interface card.
b. Connect the plug of the power I/O cable to the M8 6-pin connector
of the camera.
Observe the following pin assignment.
c. Connect the open end of the power I/O cable to a power supply.
d. Plug the power supply into a power outlet.
3. Reconnect the computer to the power outlet and boot the computer.

前提条件
主机的主板上必须至少有一个可用的 PCIe 3.0 x4 插槽。
在使用通过 CoaXPress 供电 (PoCXP) 时，请确保计算机电源提供包含 6个母引
脚的 PCIe 电源连接器。如果无法提供，需要提供适当的适配器。
如果您未使用 PoCXP，则需要外部电源。
确保您有合适的镜头和所需配件。
第1步 ：安装接口卡
1. 确保主机已关机并已从电源插座拔下电源插头。
2. 卸下计算机外壳。
3. 将接口卡插入计算机闲置的 PCIe 3.0 x4 插槽中。
4. 如希望通过接口卡 (PoCXP) 为相机供电，则需要将接口卡与计算机电源相连。
将计算机的母电源连接器插入接口卡 (PCIe 6 引脚 ) 的电源连接器。如果您的计
算机没有提供匹配的电源连接器，请使用合适的适配器。
5. 将计算机外壳安装回原位。
注意：如要在同一台计算机上使用多个接口卡，请确保该计算机主板上的每个
卡各有一个 PCIe 3.0 x4 插槽。
请在计算机内采用充分的通风系统并在接口卡和其他卡 （如果使用的话）之间
留出足够的空间。

硬件安装
第2步 ：安装相机
1. 确保相机未与任何电源连接。
污染危险：传感器上的灰尘可能会影响相机的性能。
请确保在接下来的安装步骤中将相机始终朝下放置。
2. 拆下相机前部的密封件。
3. 将螺口安装到相机。
损坏危险：将镜头插入相机过深可能会损坏传感器。
在执行下一步时，请确保镜头插入深度不超过规定的最大允许镜头插入深度。
有关详细信息，请参阅以下网站中的 Basler 产品文档：docs.baslerweb.com
4. 将合适的镜头安装到相机上。
5. 提供足够的散热条件，例如通过将两个散热板安装到相机上。

第3步 ：为相机供电
1. 如果您使用的是 PoCXP：
将CoaXPress 线材的一端插入相机的 Micro-BNC (HD-BNC) 连接器，然后将
CoaXPress 线材的另一端插入接口卡的 Micro-BNC 连接器。
2. 如果使用外部电源：
a. 将CoaXPress 线材的一端插入相机的 Micro-BNC (HD-BNC) 连接器，
然后将 CoaXPress 线材的另一端插入接口卡的 Micro-BNC 端口。
b. 将电源 I/O 线材的插头连接到相机的 M8 6 引脚连接器。
注意：相机可使用 PoCXP 供电，或外部电源 (AUX 电源 ) 通过 I/O 连接器供
电。
如果您同时通过 CoaXPress 接口和 I/O 连接器为相机供电，则仅使用 I/O 连
接器所供电源。
