Installing Xtium-CL PX4
Warning! (Grounding Instructions)
Static electricity can damage electronic components. Please discharge any static electrical charge
by touching a grounded surface, such as the metal computer chassis, before performing any
hardware installation. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation, please consult a
qualified computer technician.
Important: Never remove or install any hardware component with the computer power
on. Disconnect the power cord from the computer to disable the power standby mode.
This prevents the case where some computers unexpectedly power up when a board is
installed.
Installation
The Sapera LT Development Library (or ‘runtime library’ if application execution without
development is preferred) must be installed before the Xtium-CL PX4 device driver.
Turn the computer off, disconnect the power cord (disables power standby mode), and open the
computer chassis to allow access to the expansion slot area.
Install the Xtium-CL PX4 into a free PCI Express x4 Gen2 expansion slot (or an available x8
slot). Note that some computer's x16 slot may support the Xtium-CL PX4.
Connect a spare power supply connector to
for PoCL cameras or when DC power is required
on the external signals connector J1. See Power Cable Assembly OR-YXCC-PWRY00 for
information about an adapter for older computers.
Close the computer chassis and turn the computer on.
Logon to the workstation as administrator or with an account that has administrator privileges.
Windows will find the Xtium-CL PX4 and start its Found New Hardware Wizard. Click on the
Cancel button to close the Wizard.
Sapera LT Library & Xtium-CL PX4 Driver Installation
Insert the Teledyne DALSA Sapera Essential CD-ROM. If AUTORUN is enabled on your
computer, the installation menu is presented.
If AUTORUN is not enabled, use Windows Explorer and browse to the root directory of the CD-
ROM. Execute autorun.exe to start the installation menu.
From the CD Browser menu, select the Software Installation menu to install the required
Sapera components. Select the Xtium-CL PX4 Driver and required Sapera package. Click the
Next button to cycle through the various board product families.
If the installation of Sapera and Board Drivers is not done through the CD Browse applet, make
sure Sapera LT is installed before any board drivers.
The installation program may prompt to reboot the computer. It is not necessary to reboot the
computer between the installation of Sapera LT and the board driver. Simply reboot once all the
software and board drivers are installed.
During the late stages of the installation, the Xtium-CL PX4 firmware loader application starts.
This is described in detail in the following section.
If Windows displays any unexpected message concerning the installed board, power off the
system and verify the Xtium-CL PX4 is installed in the slot properly.
