1.3. Precautions for Use of Board Products
Electrostatic Sensitive Device
Boards may be damaged by electrostatic discharges. Follow the procedure hereby 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 Compatibility
Euresys 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 Shock
Do 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 Device
It 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 Forbidden
Uncontrolled 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
The computer and the camera can be located in distant areas with individual ground 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 Express Card Slot Requirements
1630 Coaxlink Mono, 1631 Coaxlink Duo, 1632 Coaxlink Quad, 1637 Coaxlink Quad 3D-LLE and 1638 Coaxlink Quad CXP-3
must be plugged into a x4, x8 or x16 PCI Express Gen 2 or Gen 3 card connector providing at least four active lanes.
1633 Coaxlink Quad G3 and 1635 Coaxlink Quad G3 DF must be plugged into a x4, x8 or x16 PCI Express Gen 3 card
connector providing at least four active lanes.
To guarantee proper operation and longer board reliability, ensure an adequate cooling of the card. The cooling is improved
by a higher air flow circulating around the board. This air flow is increased, for example, by using computer case fans. In
addition, avoid placing a Coaxlink card next to other heat dissipating boards.
1.5. PCI Express 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 Express slots.
Locate an available and adequate PCI Express slot. Refer to "PCI Express Card Slot Requirements" above.
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 Coaxlink 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 PCIe 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. Optional. When the camera(s) is (are) powered through the CoaXPress cable or when the +12 V power output is
required on any System I/O connector, connect a 12 V power source to the Auxiliary Power Input connector using a 6-pin
PEG cable.
10. Optional. Establish the connections with the Internal GPIO connector(s) as required by the application.
11. Optional. When synchronized acquisition is required for cameras attached to different Coaxlink cards, establish the
card-to-card link interconnections.
12. Close the computer enclosure according to the manufacturer instructions.
