2 - 10 • • • Senstar 100 Installation guide
Connecting the ribbon cables
Before installing the MFC in the PC, connect the 10-pin and 14-pin ribbon cables
between the MFC and the interface card.
1. Connect the 10-conductor ribbon cable to J1 on the MFC and J3 on the
interface card.
2. Connect the 14-conductor ribbon cable to J6 on the MFC and J2 on the
interface card.
Installing the MFC and the interface card
1. Remove the cover from the PC.
2. Locate a vacant PCI slot, and remove the rear panel cover.
Retain the rear panel cover screw.
3. Carefully align the MFC in the slot, and press it firmly into place.
4. Use the slot panel cover screw to secure the card’s retaining bracket to the PC
chassis.
5. Locate and remove an unoccupied rear panel slot cover.
Retain the rear panel cover screw.
6. Use the slot panel cover screw to secure the interface card to the PC chassis.
The interface card does not require a motherboard slot, but
you must select a rear panel slot that is within 20 cm (8 in.) of
the MFC card, to allow the connection of the two cards.
Installing the reset harness
The power reset harness connects the MFC to the computer’s reset circuitry. It
enables the sanity timer to automatically reboot the Senstar 100 computer when
the system detects a failure, in the same manner as pressing the reset button.
After you install the MFC on the motherboard, install the reset harness:
1. Connect the 2-wire reset harness to J4 on the MFC and to the reset input on
the computer motherboard (refer to the computer motherboard manual for
additional information).
2. Connect the reset switch on the PC cover to connector J5 on the MFC.
3. Replace the cover on the PC.
