PC Hardware and Internal Cables

All Applications:

Power down the PC and disconnect the AC power cable. 

Before you install the Baseband Studio PCI card, be sure to note the bar code license number and the model serial 
number on the card (described on 

page 3

).

NOTE

The N5101A PCI card is a 64-bit card. If you are using the streaming application from a hard disk a 
64-bit slot is required. Otherwise, a 32-bit slot may be used without loss of functionality.

Single-card Installation:

Internal cabling:

1.

Connect the GPIO bracket ribbon cable to J3 on the PCI card. The remaining cables can be connected, as shown, 
either before or after you install the PCI card in the computer.

2.

For PCI compliant computer cases, install the N5101A PCI card and GPIO bracket using two PCI slots in the PC.
Refer to the PC’s documentation for specific installation instructions.
