4. Hardware Installation
This section describes how to install and connect the components that make up
an IRIS Workstation system (see Figure 4-1). Prior to installation, each
component should be unpacked and placed near its final location. Since the
IRIS Workstation components are delivered assembled, they only need to be
connected with the cables provided in the delivery cartons.
WARNING: Do not connect the IRIS Workstation to an
external power source until each cable has been
connected and checked.
4.1 Keyboard to Monitor Connection
The Keyboard cable is connected to the IRIS Control Panel located on the lower
left front of the Monitor (see Figure 3-2).
1. Connect the DIN plug on the Keyboard cable to the DIN socket
labeled
Keyboard
on the IRIS Control Panel.
4.2 Mouse to Monitor Connection
The Mouse cable is connected to the IRIS Control Panel located on the lower
left front of the Monitor (see Figure 3-2).
1. Connect the slide-locking D socket on the Mouse cable to the D plug
labeled
Mouse
on the IRIS Control Panel.
4.3 Monitor to Cabinet Video Connections
The color-coded bundle of coaxial video cables is connected between the
Cabinet I/O Panel and the Monitor Back Panel (see Figures 3-3, 3-4 and 4-1).
1. For single Monitor operation, set all of the input impedance switches
to the
75 Ω
position.
If several Monitors are connected in a series (daisy chain), set the
input impedance switches to the
High
position for all but the last
Monitor, which should be set to the
75 Ω
position.
2. Connect each cable end to an input socket on the Monitor Back
Panel. Since they are identical, either socket can be used.
