3.2 Connection to the basic unit
All connections are made at the rear of the basic unit. For your own safety and the safety of
the device, please pay attention to the following precautionary measures.
! Only carry out all connection work with the GeViScope basic unit switched off!
! Do not remove the casing! This device only contains maintenance-free components.
Have all repairs carried out by qualified personnel.
! Only use shielded cable for all control lines!
!Twist the cable shield at the end and solder to the frame (chassis) of the SUB-D
connection (connector or socket). While doing so:
! Make sure not to short-circuit the cable cores with the cable shield. Fit an
insulation grommet over the shield to avoid short-circuits.
! Do not connect the cable shield to a ground (earth) connection point (pin).
! Keep the twisted section of the cable shield in the connector (socket) as short as
possible.
3.2.1 Information on Installing Own PC Cards and External Devices
The GeViScope basic units are equipped with special hardware for digital picture
recording and are not "normal" PCs. To avoid intricate installation work and to ensure
trouble-free operation, please pay attention to the following information:
Wherever possible, only use PC cards supplied by GEUTEBRÜCK. If ordered together with
the basic unit, these cards will be already installed and ready for operation.
The SCSI adapter card available from GEUTEBRÜCK facilitate the connection of SCSI
drives such as hard disks, CD burners etc.
When subsequently ordering a card, we urgently recommend that you also order its
installation. This will save intricate and costly installation work and will guarantee trouble-
free operation.
Own PC cards are installed at your own risk as, in this case, we cannot accept any
responsibility for ensuring trouble-free operation of your system.
Connection of external devices: GeViScope basic units do not have a DVD-ROM drive.
Therefore, when selecting devices, make sure that they are MS Windows-compatible. If it is
necessary for you to install a device driver that cannot be found in the MS Windows directory
on the hard disk of the basic unit, the device driver should be on floppy disk! You can
download the updated Geutebr
ü
ck-compatible drivers at
http://www.geutebrueck.de
Only use VGA monitors that comply with the minimum specified requirements.
Wherever possible, only use standard keyboards and PC mice that are MS Windows -
compatible. Devices with additional equipment generally also require additional device driver
installation.
Printer connection: Wherever possible use printers that are supported by MS Windows
and with the necessary printer driver provided in the MS Windows directory.
GEUTEBRÜCK offers training courses on how to use and work with GeViScope
hardware and software effectively.
