Xitron Universal PCI Card Installation

 

Connecting the cables 

Next you must connect your output device cables to your 
personality card (see Fig 2.6): 

Note:

 Some output devices do not require 

the serial cable. Check your device plugin 
manual for instructions for your device. 

1. Plug the image setter cable connector 

into the image setter cable port on the 
card. 

2.  If your device uses the serial cable, plug 

the 9-pin serial connector into the serial 
port on the card. 

 
For information on how to connect these 
cables to your output device, refer to your 
device manual. For some devices, additional 
information may be found in the plugin manual. You do not need to 
connect to the output device at this point but you may do so if you 
wish. See the relevant Plugin Manual in the 

\Doco

folder of your 

installation CD for more details regarding your device and the 
necessary connections.
