The camera indicator LEDs should face toward the front of the microscope. English 5 English 6 4 Connect the Camera to the Computer The DMC Ie camera requires a SCSI host adapter in your computer. If your computer does not have an adapter, you must install one (see page 11). If your computer is a PC-compatible with a SCSI adapter, but the adapter is connected to a hard drive or CDROM drive, installing a second adapter is recommended. Set the camera SCSI address: Each device connected to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique address from 0-6. To assure a unique address for the camera, determine the addresses of any other SCSI devices: Power Mac or PowerPC · Run Apple System Profiler, usually on the Apple menu. If it is not, it may be available from www.apple.com/ swupdates. · Click Devices and Volumes to view the SCSI device addresses. Windows 95, 98 or NT · Look at the SCSI address switch on each SCSI device connected to your system. If necessary, see the instructions provided with the devices. Turn the camera power switch to off (0) and set the SCSI address switch to a value not used by any other device. Power switch? (off=0) SCSI address switch Do not use 7, 8 or 9? (not valid addresses) Note: The address is preset to 4. Do not change it unless another device is using 4. Other addresses typically available are 2, 5 and 6. Connect the SCSI cables: Place the DMC camera at the end of the SCSI chain as shown or between the computer and other SCSI devices. Use the shortest possible cables. DMC Ie camera termination on (1) Set termination: The last device in a SCSI chain must be terminated (or have termination on), while all other devices must be unterminated (or have termination off). Computer Termination switch Other SCSI device (not terminated) Note: Turn the computer, camera and all other SCSI devices off before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Do not connect the camera to the parallel connector on your computer. Doing so could damage the camera or computer. If the camera is the only device connected to your SCSI host adapter or the last device in a SCSI chain, set the camera termination to on (1). Otherwise, set termination to off (0). Termination instructions for your other SCSI devices are provided with the devices. Note: Do not use an external, passive terminator to terminate the camera. If another device is at the end of the SCSI chain, that device must be terminated with an active terminator for proper camera operation. English 7 English 8 5 Connect the Camera to AC Power and Turn On 1 Connect the camera to AC power and turn the power switch on. 2 Verify that the green and yellow LEDs are on, indicating AC and 1 Power switch (on=1) termination power are on. 3 Turn the computer on. 4 Wait for the system to install the camera driver and display the normal desktop.

Installing a SCSI Host Adapter The DMC Ie camera connects to a SCSI host adapter in your computer. Most Macintosh computers have a SCSI adapter built in, but most IBM PC compatible computers do not. If you must install a SCSI adapter, turn the computer off and follow instructions provided by the adapter manufacturer. (The procedure usually includes software installation. If your PC uses the Windows NT operating system, log in as an administrator before installation.) Note: A SCSI host adapter may be provided as an option with the camera. If necessary, obtain an adapter from your computer dealer. (Adapters are not available for iMac computers.) © Copyright Polaroid Corporation, 1999. All rights reserved.
