If necessary, install the included IEEE 1394 PCI card:
•
Shut down your computer.
•
Open the case, and install the included IEEE 1394 card into an empty PCI slot. See the user’s
manual for your computer for complete instructions on installing new PCI cards.
•
Restart your computer. Windows should automatically install the appropriate software
drivers for the card.
Step 2. Install Your Imaging Software
Once the IEEE 1394 card is installed in your computer, you are ready to install the FireWire drivers and
imaging software. See your Imaging Software User’s Guide for complete installation instructions.
Step 3. Connect the Retiga-SRV
Once your imaging software is installed, connect your camera. There are three different types of
connections (1) through Windows or Macintosh 6-pin PCI card, (2) through windows or Macintosh
laptop computer or (2) through Macintosh 9-pin connection. For the Retiga-SRV, in order to operate
the cooling, the camera must have the external power connected. However, should the cooling not
be required, a single 9-pin to 6-pin connection will operate the camera sufficiently.
In most cases, the FireWire cable provides the necessary power required by the Retiga-SRV. However,
if your camera is cooled you will need to provide additional power to the camera as shown in Figure 4
Connecting the QImaging Camera
Perform the following for connecting your camera.
•
Remove the FireWire cable from the camera box, and plug one end of the cable (the 9-pin
end) into one of the camera’s FireWire sockets (either socket is fine).

Camera FireWire Sockets.
•
Plug the other end of the cable into a FireWire port on your computer
