Replace the computer cover.
10. Connect the IEEE 1394a cable to your camera. Refer to your camera manufacturer documentation
for specific instructions about how to connect the IEEE 1394a cable to your camera.
11. Connect the IEEE 1394a cable to an IEEE 1394a connector on the NI 8254R front panel. Refer to
Figure 1 for the location of the IEEE 1394a connectors on the NI 8254R.
12. Plug in and power on the computer.
The NI 8254R is now installed and the camera is connected.
Wiring Isolated Output Power to the NI 8254R
This section describes how to connect the NI desktop power supply for the isolated outputs (part number
778794-01) to the NI 8254R. For instructions on how to connect a separate main supply, refer to the
Connecting to the Isolated Outputs Power Supply
section.
Caution
Do
not
connect the NI 8254R isolated power to a source less than 5 VDC or greater than
30 VDC. Doing so could damage the NI 8254R.
