Keysight E8491B IEEE 1394 PC Link to VXI User Guide 21Using this Chapter Interface Installation and Configuration4 Align the bus contacts on the bottom of the host adapter with the PCI busslot. Carefully, but firmly, press the adapter into the slot.5 Secure the host adapter bracket to the computer chassis with the screw fromthe expansion slot cover removed in step C.Connecting the Power Cable6 Connect the power cable between the adapter and the PC as shown in Figure2-5. This provides power from the adapter to devices along the interface viathe interface cable. This allows you to cycle power on any VXI mainframe inmulti-frame systems without affecting other frames. The power is alsoavailable to other IEEE 1394 devices that may be part of the interfacenetwork. The host adapter is capable of supplying 12V with a maximumcurrent draw of 0.5 amps total to all three IEEE 1394 connectors.Figure 2-4 Installing the Host Adapter.HostAdapter
