Installing the MVS-8100
This section describes the steps to install an MVS-8100, describes special case switch
settings, and discusses the connection of external I/O equipment to the 8100.
Steps to Install the MVS-8100
Caution
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the electronic
components of your Cognex hardware. Cognex recommends the
use of a grounded anti-static wrist strap when handling any
electronic components.
1.
Before installing your 8100, identify which 8100 you have, using the information in
Table 1. Then configure the on-board jumpers as described in one of the following
sections:
•
Jumper Settings for the 8100
on page 48
•
Jumper Settings for the 8100M and 8100M+
on page 48
2.
Turn off the host PC.
3.
Remove the cover of the host PC and select a PCI slot for the 8100. The 8100
requires a PCI slot that supports 5 V signalling. The 8100’s PCI bus connector is
slotted to allow placement only in a 5 V slot (which are the most commonly found
PCI slot types).
Motherboard PCI slots are keyed to allow acceptance of boards that use either 5 V
or 3.3 V signalling, or both. The bus connectors on all PCI boards are slotted to
disallow placement of the board in the wrong type of slot. PCI slot keys are
described in the following table and diagram.
