Two-card Installation:
Before you install the PCI cards in the PC for the dual-channel fading application, attach the foam pads approximately
1 inch from the top of the PCI card as shown in Figure A of the following illustration.
If the PCI/ISA slots are such that the two cards must be installed side-by-side (as in Figure B), you may need to route
one or both of the ribbon cables under the PCI cards to connect them. This does not damage the cables.
External Cables
Install the digital bus cable for all applications.
1.
Inspect the digital bus cable and connectors to ensure that they are clean.
2. Connect a digital bus cable between each N5101A Baseband Studio PCI card and a source (or N5102A Baseband
Studio digital signal interface module), connecting the end of the cable with the EMI suppressor to the source.
NOTE
The digital bus cable connector has a release latch on each side. As you make a connection, you must
simultaneously squeeze these release latches (see the illustration below); the connector should snap
into place. A securely connected cable does not come loose when gently pulled.
To disconnect the cable, squeeze the release latches as you remove the connector.
