Fitting the
card
4) Ground yourself to an antistatic mat or other grounded source to
discharge static electricity before handling the board.
5) Pick up the board (still in its anti-static sleeve), by grasping the
metal edge bracket with one hand, and remove the sleeve.
6) Taking care to hold the edges of the board, avoiding contact with
the electronic components, position it over the PCI slot and locate
the tip of the metal bracket in the slot of the PC chassis, before
pushing the board firmly but gently home with a slight rocking
action.
7) Secure the bracket with a retaining screw.
Connecting
power and
options
8a) If intending to use the 4th axis, you will need to fit an adapter
plate to another spare slot and the interconnecting cable to PL2 the
4th axis output. Be careful to attach pin 1 of the ribbon cable (with
the red stripe), to pin 1 of PL2, which is marked on the board
(towards metal bracket).
8b) If fitting a joystick or OI-SNP (Leica SmartMove interface), you will
need to fit an adapter plate to another spare slot and the
interconnection cable to PL7, the Analogue Port. Be careful to
attach pin 1 of the ribbon cable (with the red stripe), to pin 1 of
PL7, which is marked on the board (towards the power connector).
8c) If intending to use the OASIS-XA1 5
th
axis module, please refer to
the OASIS-XA1 documentation for connection details.
8d) If intending to use the OASIS-DC1 module, please refer to the
OASIS-DC1 documentation for connection details.
9) Connect a spare power connector from the PC power supply to
PL5 at the rear of the board. Preferably the OASIS-4i should be the
only device drawing power from this lead. The on board motor
drive components get their power via the +12V from this connector.

connections
10) Replace PC system cover or side panel.
11) If using a Kensington Expert Mouse 5.0 trackball or other serial
control device, connect it to PL1, the 9-pin trackball serial port
below the 44-way main connector.
12) Connect the appropriate cable from SK1, the 44-way XYZ and
video in/out connector, to your desired XY stage, focus adapter(Z)
and video source as required. Notice that this 44 way connector is
keyed to prevent insertion of an incorrect cable.
13) You are now ready to switch on the PC and proceed with the
