If you will be using the NI Camera Link I/O Extension Board (PCIe),
refer to the
NI Camera Link I/O Extension Board (PCIe) User Guide
for

Connect the 6-pin PCIe auxiliary power connector if using PoCL.
Note
This connection is not necessary if PoCL will not be used.
9.
Replace the computer cover.
10. Connect the Camera Link cable(s) to a Camera Link-compatible camera. Refer to the
camera manufacturer documentation for specific instructions about how to connect the
cable to your camera.
11. Connect the other end of the Camera Link cable(s) to the 26-pin SDR Camera Link
connector(s) on the front panel. Tighten the retention screws to secure the cable(s) to the
connector(s).
Note
If connecting two cables, ensure that one cable connects the Base
connector of the camera to the Base connector of the NI PCIe-1477 and one
cable connects the Med/Full/Ext connector of the camera to the Med/Full/Ext
connector of the NI PCIe-1477. Crossing the cables will lead to the
NI PCIe-1477 being unable to communicate with the camera.
12. Plug in and power on the computer.
The NI PCIe-1477 is now installed and the camera is connected.
